Whether it’s the biggest event in the sporting calendar, one that only comes around once every four years, or a league match - there is no denying watching football is special and not treating it as such when looking for your next TV purchase is something of an own goal.
If you buy a Sony TV, though, you are getting a superb television - and this is thanks to the features that Sony has packed into each television. The thing is, we could just dazzle you with some fancy names for the tech inside but that wouldn’t really do these televisions justice. On its own, the 4K X-Reality PRO processor doesn’t quite conjure up just what this fantastic innovation does. And MotionFlow - it’s a brilliant name, but what does it actually mean?
Go with the Flow
Let’s look first at MotionFlow. It sounds like a skill Lionel Messi has perfected and will use to against England, but the reality is that it’s a piece of technology that works behind the scenes to make the football you watch on TV look better. It sounds simple, but there are incredibly complex algorithms working to smooth out the flow of something like football, making sure there isn’t any jitter in the picture whatsoever. The TV does the hard work, adding in frames where needed to keep the flow of the game in tact. This is coupled with LED Backlight Control, which regulates the brightness to make sure it’s right for the motion on the TV. Add to this Image Blur Reduction and this will make the picture look a whole lot more crisp. All of these technologies work to make sure that when a ball is kicked, you are focused on whether or not it lands in the goal and nothing else.
If you want to see the perfect balance of all these technologies at work, then the Sony Bravia KD55XF8096BU is for you, which is available from AO.com - it’s packing Motionflow XR400hz, one of the best versions of this feature around.
There’s even more reason to buy a big-screen TV this summer. AO.com is giving you the chance to claim back up to £300 when you buy a large screen TV – as long as England get through to the knockout stages.
Playing like a Pro
The other feature that’s worth a mention is the grand-sounding 4K X-Reality PRO processor. Yes, that’s right, our TVs have processors in them now, much like computers. What makes the 4K X-Reality PRO processor special is that it does myriad things to make your viewing experience better.
One of the most important features of the 4K X-Reality PRO processor is its Full HD to 4K upscaling. This technology doesn’t actually add pixels but enhance the ones that are already there. What this boils down to is: you will definitely see whether that contentious goal was actually over the line or not.
Having this processor on board means that lines become clearer, action stays smooth and if you happened to be streaming anything, then this will become much clearer.
To see this in action, then what you need, available from AO.com, is the stunning Sony Bravia XE70 range. And, don’t forget, you could be in with a chance of getting a fantastic up to £300 off the price of your new big-screen television, thanks to AO.com .
