Sony claims that the new 4K models come with powerful picture processing engines and 4K X-Reality PRO for upscaling lower resolution pictures. They support the latest HDMI standard HDMI 2.0, which gives them the ability to display 4K/60p content- useful when watching fast-moving content such as sports.

Moreover, the models are equipped with a new decoder which supports HEVC for better compression without compromising on picture quality, can playback 4K/60p content from Internet streaming services and supports USB playback.

As the name explains, 4K comes with four times the number of pixels on a Full HD display, to give sharper pictures. Considering the lack of 4K content, Sony has added 4K upscaling feature hich improves the picture quality of existing HD content.
