“#Sony’s launching a 4K HDR streaming service \u2014 but only for its Bravia TVs<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Sony is launching a streaming service with 4K Blu-ray picture quality \u2014 but it will only be available on Bravia TVs for now.<\/p>\n

The Bravia Core service will come pre-loaded on all new Bravia XR models, with a catalog of new releases and classic blockbusters from the Sony Pictures archive.<\/p>\n

The platform uses\u00a0Sony\u2019s \u201cPure Stream\u201d tech to reach \u201cnear-lossless UHD BD equivalent quality\u201d with streaming up to 80 Mbps, according to Sony. That\u2019s three-to-four times more than Netflix and around double that of App<\/a>le TV.\u00a0 But bear in mind that the bitrates often dip way below the maximum in practice \u2014 and you\u2019ll need seriously fast internet to reach the highest quality.<\/p>\n

Bravia Core is also a way for Sony to differentiate its devices from its market rivals. Picture-quality purists of the past who splashed out on high-spec Blu-ray\u00a0players (or Betamax boxes for anyone who remembers the\u00a0videotape format war), may now want an equivalent indulgence from their streaming services. As the first TV giant to launch an exclusive platform, Sony could get an edge over its competitors.<\/p>\n

Sony says at least 300 flicks will be available on the service, including an IMAX Enhanced collection optimized for Bravia XR.<\/p>\n

The company hasn\u2019t revealed the full catalog yet, but has highlighted a range of derivative superhero of flicks and sequels, such as\u00a0Spider-Man: Far From Home<\/em> and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle<\/em>. There\u2019ll also be some behind-the-scenes documentaries available to watch.<\/p>\n
