1. Product Overview

The Sony 65-inch 4K Mini LED TV BRAVIA K-65XR90 offers an exceptional viewing experience with its advanced display and audio technologies. This flagship 4K LCD TV features Mini LED backlighting, precisely controlled by Sony's proprietary technology to deliver stunning brightness and deep, rich blacks, resulting in unparalleled image beauty.

Key Features
