Sony’s new BRAVIA FWD-85X81CH professional display delivers 4K clarity, color, and contrast and rich multi-dimensional sound while framed in a slim blade design that blends in with any contemporary interior setting.

The BRAVIA FWD-85X81CH is ideally suited to professional use, with Pro mode allowing quick and easy customization to suit different environments. Android TV allows users more customization and control options with the display’s intuitive built-in software platform. Creating attractive digital signage is simple, mixing and displaying media files and online content without the need for additional hardware. A wide range of API (Application Programming Interface) options enable remote control/monitoring and integration with external systems.

The BRAVIA FWD-85X81CH can be controlled remotely—including on/off, input signal select and adjust volume—over IP via RJ45 by web API. Its integrated support for HTML5 makes it easy to produce compelling digital signage. Graphics, text, video and live web content can be combined to create eye-catching signage in minutes with no extra hardware or special training. Users can customize and save the display features and settings and copy them easily to multiple displays via USB flash memory.

Sony’s 4K HDR Processor X1™ cleans and refines picture signals, using advanced algorithms to cut noise and boost detail. With upscaling, even lower-resolution images are brought close to 4K resolution with lifelike color and textures. Motionflow technology keeps on-screen movement smooth and clear by creating extra images between images and black segments between scenes to reduce blur and create more natural, flowing motion. The FWD-85X81CH also features TRILUMINOS Display which maps colors from a wider palette to accurately reproduce a world of vivid, lifelike hues and tones.

Sony’s BRAVIA Professional Displays provide a pure sound quality to create an immersive experience. With Dolby Atmos, sound comes from above as well as from the sides for a truly multi-dimensional experience.

With Apple AirPlay, video and sound can easily be streamed to BRAVIA right from an iPhone, iPad or Mac.  Voice Search can be used to find content and Google Cast can be used to share content. With the Cast button, videos and apps can be cast from a mobile device directly to the 85-inch screen with Google Chromecast.
