Sony has released another crucial firmware update for its Bravia TV series, which will bring the VRR feature and PS5-specific functions to more devices.
The VRR update is initially only available for the X85J, X86J, and X89 series models, while the premium OLED models from 2020 and later will have to wait. Additionally, there are various new features in conjunction with the PS5, presumably including auto-HDR mapping, a 360 spatial sound personalizer for the headset's own neckband speakers, and various optimizations.
Latest Bravia firmware version 6.4314
Here is an overview of the new features, which, however, will not be available on every model:
- Improves the overall performance of the television.
- Fixes an issue where incorrect colors were temporarily displayed on half of the screen (models X85J/X89J)
Previously, the following was also added:
- Adds support for VRR (only for the X85J, X86J and X89J series)
- Adds features for PlayStation®5
- Adds support for the 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer (3D sound function for the SRS-NS7 wireless neckband speaker)
- Supports HD+ Android applications (only for Germany)
- Fixes an issue where web browsers did not work when certain languages were used.
- Fixes an issue where you could hear the center channel audio from the rear speakers when playing a 5.1 channel source with the automatic eARC setting.
- Improves the Quick Settings menu of the user interface.
- Allows you to change the order of categories on the tab in the TV menu/EPG using the "Sort items" function.
- Privacy Policy Update: To reflect our internal changes effective April 1, 2021, we have updated the information regarding the data controller in our Privacy Policy. Since that date, Sony Corporation/Sony Group Corporation is responsible for processing the collected data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
This leaves it unclear when Sony will also include its own premium segment in the Bravia TV series. It is expected to be no later than spring 2022, although... the new models These will be available, having been presented at CES this January. They are intended to instantly support VRR and similar technologies.
The new firmware can now be obtained via the TV menu or Sony's support pages.
