54.6" Sony XBR-55X900H - Specifications

Name of the company-manufacturer.

Name of the series, which the model belongs to.

Designation of the model.

Other known designations of the model.

The year in which this model was announced.

Size class of the display as declared by the manufacturer. Often this is the rounded value of the actual size of the diagonal in inches.

Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen.

Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.

Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.

There are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used.

The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively.

The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC.

The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10.

Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image.

The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen.

Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases.

The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area.

The backlight is the source of light of the LCD display panels. The type of backlight determines the image quality and the color space of the display. There are various backlights such as CCFL, LED, WLED, RGB-LED, and etc.

DCI P3 is a color space, introduced in 2007 by the SMPTE. It is used in digital cinema and has a much wider gamut than the sRGB.

Rec. 2020 (ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020) defines several aspects of UHDTV as supported resolutions, frame rates, color space, color depth, etc. The Rec. 2020 color space covers 75.8% of CIE 1931. In comparison, the DCI-P3 covers 53.6% and the Rec. 709 covers 35.9% of CIE 1931.

Information about the brightness of the screen. It is measured in candela per square metre (cd/m²).

Often even a higher peak luminance can be achieved under certain conditions. For example, when a smaller area/APL of the display is used for showing a bright object, when a bright object is displayed for a short time, etc.

The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene.

HDR expands the contrast ratio (peak luminance and minimal black levels) and color palette to achieve more details across the whole image - from the darkest parts to the brightest ones, which results in more realistic and life-like image.

Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality.

Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality.

Desktop monitors and smart TVs experience a latency/lag in visualizing the information. The time in milliseconds that the display needs to visualize the signal input.

Information on whether 3D is supported or not.

The vertical frequency/refresh rate shows how many times in a second the image on the screen is refreshed.

Permissible voltage tolerance in a 220-volt electric system.

Requirement regarding the alternating current frequency in the electric system.

Power consumption in sleep/stand by/suspend mode.

Average power consumption in standard work mode.

Estimated power consumption per year in kWh.

Weight of the product with all accessories and packaging in different measurement units.

Information about the colors, in which the specific model is offered to the market.

Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS).

There are many various interfaces under the VESA standard, which differ in the size of the brackets, the distances between the screw holes and their number.

Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting.

Information about whether the stand allows height adjustment.

Some displays have the ability to operate in landscape and portrait mode alike.

Information whether the display can be swiveled around the stand axis.

Most displays have the ability to be tilted forward and backward as to provide a more comfortable viewing position for the user.

Information about the TV tuners, which the current model is equipped with.

The system-on-chip (SoC) integrates different hardware components such as CPU, GPU, memory and others.

The main function of the processor (CPU) is to interpret and carry out instructions, thus allowing the functioning of the operating system and the software applications.

The software instructions are performed by the CPU cores. The higher number of cores allows for the parallel (simultaneous) processing of more instructions and achieving higher performance. There are various processors equipped with 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and more cores.

The clock rate/frequency of the CPU is measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz) and indicates its working speed. Within one cycle or tick the processor may perform a varied number of instructions.

The GPU processes computer graphics calculations. It is actively used in games, video decoding/playing, user interface visualization and so on. Its parallel architecture allows for its usage in specific calculations, which are processed more effectively by the GPU than by the CPU.

Similar to the CPU, the GPU may have more than one core, which serve for the parallel computing of various tasks and achieving better performance with various software applications.

The clock rate/frequency of the contemporary GPUs is measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz) and indicates their level of performance.

The random-access memory (RAM) is used by the operating system and the software applications installed. Usually, more RAM provides better performance.

Information about the storage capacity, which is used for the operating system and for installing different applications, saving video, music, photos and other data.

The operating systems of the smart TV sets feature user interface technologies for navigation and other ways of interaction with the smart TV - installing applications, internet browsing, video calls, sharing content with other users, playing videos and music, etc.

The speaker is a device, which converts electrical audio signals into acoustic vibrations resulting in corresponding sounds.

Information whether the current model has a built-in camera or not.

Information about the network technologies and standards supported by the model, which allow for it to connect to and communicate with other devices.

Information about the available connectivity ports, slots and interfaces such as USB, infrared port, SD card slot, audio/video and network interfaces, etc.

Information about additional software features, technologies, functions and services of the model.

Information about some of the main image file formats supported by the current model.

Information about some of the main audio file formats/codecs supported by the current model.

Information about some of the main video file formats/codecs supported by the current model.

The operating temperature shows the safe temperature range (from minimum to maximum), within which the display will function flawlessly. Outside this range it might operate improperly and/or fail entirely.

The operating humidity shows the acceptable level of humidity, in which the display will function flawlessly. It sets a lower and an upper humidity level for safe operation and is measured in percentage.

Information about some of the main accessories included in the standard packaging of the current model.
