Sony's early 8K flagship made you choose: just one HDMI 2.1 port (HDMI 4) unlocks 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz, while the other three ports stay locked at HDMI 2.0b. That single HDMI 2.1 input receives 48Gbps bandwidth, but sharing it across 8K and gaming is a real bottleneck. HDMI 3 carries eARC, and optical audio provides surround backup. Here's every port and the cables you'll need.
Sony’s first 8K TV. Massive LED display with Backlight Master Drive, up to 4000 nits brightness. One HDMI 2.1 port for 8K@60Hz.
