Sony recently announced that several of its 2015 4K UHD TVs will soon be able to process HDR metadata and display HDR images through firmware upgrades.


It is reported that this firmware upgrade will only be released to the X940C and X930C high-end models, and the X850C, X900C and X910C models will also be able to upgrade.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) effectively extends the photometric rating of the TV to enable it to display deeper blacks and brighter whites. This technology can also enhance the color performance of the screen by increasing the density of the color display. It is noteworthy that HDR and Sony's XDR technology is not the same, the latter's function is mainly to enhance the brightness range.

Of course, new technologies also lack support for content. Sony has partnered with Amazon Instant Video as the first streaming service to support HDR, which will provide Sony television users with a small portion of HDR content rights. As part of the cooperation. Users who purchased the aforementioned 4K TV will receive $100 worth of HDR content from Amazon, including Amazing Spider-Man 2, Black Men 3, Return to Earth and Fury.

In addition, all Sony 4K TV users who have an Amazon Prime account will be able to watch Mozart in a season of Amazon original drama jungle in HDR mode. It is rumored that Amazon will also bring HDR support to the 80th comedy Red Oaks.

In the statement, Sony did not indicate whether future firmware upgrades will allow these TVs to be able to handle HDR from other sources, such as Ultra Blu-ray. To achieve this, at least one of the HDMI interfaces of the TV needs to be HDMI 2.0a, but none of these models are currently available.
