In addition, the CX is the first TV to be G-Sync Compatible with Variable Refresh Rate and Auto Low Latency Mode. Gaming is also a major focus of this new model, with Game Mode claimed to reduce input lag to 13ms with 4K 60p HDR content. Working in conjunction with the television’s inbuilt sensor, this swanky system adjusts the brightness, contrast and colour of Dolby Vision content based on room lighting and metadata.īy eschewing motion smoothing and adjusting colour, Filmmaker Mode seeks to stay true to the artist’s intent, displaying content in the same manner as the cinemas do. Dolby Vision IQ also makes its first appearance in this year’s model range, too. The onboard processing has had an overhaul, with the Alpha 9 Gen 3 processor making its debut in the 2020 lineup. As with last year’s C9, the 2020 CX is a 4K television, 8K being reserved for its more expensive sibling. This allows thus-equipped televisions to turn off individual pixels to produce true blacks.

How the other half live!Īfter helping me relocate my old C9, the installers had the 65-inch CX assembled and my Sony PS3 and 4K Blu-ray player connected in short order. Customarily reserved for select 75-inch and above televisions, I was treated to what they refer to as their white-glove service.
