  • Sony Bravia 7 Mini-LED (2024)

    Sony · TV · 2024

    Four sizes, one port layout. HDMI 3 and 4 are true HDMI 2.1 at 48 Gbps with 4K@120Hz, VRR and ALLM, and this line adds Dolby Vision gaming at 120 Hz on those two ports. HDMI 1 and 2 are 18 Gbps HDMI 2.0b. HDMI 3 is the eARC output as well, which is the…

  • Sony Bravia 8 II QD-OLED (2025)

    Sony · TV · 2025

    Sony’s 2025 QD-OLED comes in two sizes with the same inputs: HDMI 3 and 4 at 48 Gbps for 4K@120Hz, VRR and ALLM, HDMI 1 and 2 at 18 Gbps, eARC on HDMI 3. The panel is QD-OLED rather than the WOLED in the Bravia 8, which is the whole point of the II. If…

  • Sony Bravia 8 OLED (2024)

    Sony · TV · 2024

    The Bravia 8 is a WOLED set sold in three sizes with one shared port layout. HDMI 3 and 4 are HDMI 2.1 at 48 Gbps for 4K@120Hz, VRR and ALLM; HDMI 1 and 2 are HDMI 2.0b at 18 Gbps. HDMI 3 is also the eARC output, so the soundbar and the console want…

  • Sony Bravia 9 (2024)

    Sony · TV · 2024

    Sony’s 2024 flagship Mini-LED is built around the XR Backlight Master Drive and the XR Processor, with the brand’s PS5-tuned features baked in. Out of four HDMI ports, only HDMI 3 and HDMI 4 are full HDMI 2.1 (48 Gbps) supporting 4K at 120 Hz with VRR and ALLM — HDMI 1 and 2 are…

  • Sony Bravia 9 Mini-LED (2024)

    Sony · TV · 2024

    Sony’s 2024 flagship Mini-LED ships the same ports at 65, 75 and 85 inches. HDMI 3 and 4 are HDMI 2.1 at 48 Gbps — 4K@120Hz, VRR, and Dolby Vision gaming at 120 Hz — while HDMI 1 and 2 are HDMI 2.0b. ALLM works on all four. HDMI 3 is the eARC output. Buy…

  • Sony BRAVIA Projector 7 (VPL-XW5100ES) (2025)

    Sony · Projector · 2025

    Sony’s BRAVIA Projector 7 (VPL-XW5100ES) is a native-4K SXRD laser projector with genuinely fast inputs: both HDMI 2.1 ports run full 48Gbps with HDCP 2.3, taking 4K120 with ALLM at roughly 11-12ms input lag. HDR10 and HLG are supported (no Dolby Vision or HDR10+). There are no speakers or audio outputs — audio stays with…

  • Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 9 (HT-A9000, 2024)

    Sony · Audio Equipment · 2024

    Sony’s 2024 flagship 13-channel single-bar Dolby Atmos / DTS:X soundbar replaces the HT-A7000 at the top of the lineup. Both HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1 with full 8K@60Hz / 4K@120Hz, VRR, ALLM, and Dolby Vision pass-through — one acts as the eARC output to the TV, the other as a passthrough input for a console…

  • Sony Bravia Theatre Quad (2024)

    Sony · Audio Equipment · 2024

    A four-speaker wireless home theater system (successor to the HT-A9) whose wired connections all live on a compact control box. That box offers one full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 passthrough input with 4K@120Hz, 8K, Dolby Vision and VRR support — effectively giving your TV back a gaming port — plus an eARC output and wired Ethernet. There…

  • Sony DualSense Edge Wireless Controller (2023)

    Sony · Gaming Controller · 2023

    Sony’s premium ‘Edge’ variant of the DualSense keeps the same single USB Type-C charging port and 3.5mm TRRS headset jack as the standard DualSense, but ships with a 2.8m braided USB-C cable and a clip-on Connector Housing that mechanically locks the cable into the controller — vital for competitive play where an accidental tug at…

  • Sony DualSense Wireless Controller (PS5, 2020)

    Sony · Gaming Controller · 2020

    Sony’s PS5 controller switches from the Micro-USB port of the DualShock 4 to a single USB Type-C connector for charging, wired play, and firmware updates. A 3.5mm TRRS headset jack on the bottom edge handles wired chat audio, with a built-in microphone array and speaker as Bluetooth-free alternatives. Like every PlayStation controller since the DualShock…

  • Sony DualShock 4 Wireless Controller (PS4, 2013)

    Sony · Gaming Controller · 2013

    Sony’s PS4 controller is the lone Micro-USB hold-out in the modern controller line-up: a single USB Micro-B 2.0 port at the top edge handles charging and wired play, exactly the same connector as a 2013-era smartphone. A 3.5mm TRRS headset jack and a proprietary EXT accessory port sit on the bottom edge alongside the front-facing…

  • Sony FX30 (2022)

    Sony · Camera · 2022

    Sony’s entry-level Cinema Line camera packs Super 35 4K 120fps capability into a compact body designed for independent filmmakers and content creators. A full-size HDMI Type A port delivers clean 4K 60p output and 16-bit RAW to compatible external recorders like the Atomos Ninja V+. The USB-C port supports charging via USB Power Delivery, making…

  • Sony HT-A5000 (2021)

    Sony · Audio Equipment · 2021

    A 5.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar that sits just below Sony’s flagship HT-A7000. Its single HDMI input is full HDMI 2.1 with 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz and Dolby Vision passthrough — valuable if your TV is short on 2.1 ports. Unlike the A7000, there is no analog aux input and no Ethernet jack, so wired sources are limited…

  • Sony HT-A7000 (2021)

    Sony · Audio Equipment · 2021

    Sony’s 2021 flagship 7.1.2-channel soundbar was one of the first to feature dual HDMI 2.1 inputs with full 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz passthrough — excellent for connecting gaming consoles and Blu-ray players simultaneously. The rear panel offers an unusually complete port selection for a soundbar: optical, 3.5mm analog in, USB, Ethernet, and a proprietary S-Center Out…

  • Sony HT-A9000 (2024)

    Sony · Audio Equipment · 2024

    Sony’s BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 packs 13 speaker drivers into a single soundbar with full HDMI 2.1 support including 4K 120Hz, VRR, ALLM, and Dolby Vision passthrough — ideal for routing a PS5 through the bar. Notably, there is no optical input, no Ethernet port, and no USB port; all networking is wireless only. An…

  • Sony HT-S400 Soundbar (2022)

    Sony · Audio Equipment · 2022

    Sony’s entry-level 2.1-channel soundbar pairs with a wireless subwoofer for budget home cinema. The rear panel keeps things minimal: one HDMI ARC output to the TV (HDMI 2.0b, no eARC), an optical TOSLINK input as an alternative, and a USB-A port that is for firmware updates only. There is no HDMI passthrough input, so source…

  • Sony INZONE H9 (2022)

    Sony · Gaming Headset · 2022

    Sony’s first INZONE gaming headset adapts the WH-1000XM4 chassis for gaming, pairing the same active noise cancellation with a 2.4GHz USB-A wireless dongle and Bluetooth 5.0. The H9 controversially ships with no 3.5mm jack at all — the USB-C port on the headset is for charging only, and there is no wired audio path. To…

  • Sony PlayStation (Original PSX, 1994)

    Sony · Gaming Console · 1994

    The original Sony PlayStation kicked off the disc-based console era and shipped with the proprietary Sony AV Multi Out — the same connector that would later anchor the PS2 and PS3 Fat. Stock video is composite at 480i over RCA; you can unlock RGB up to 240p/480i with an aftermarket SCART or component cable into…

  • Sony PlayStation 2 (Original Fat, 2000)

    Sony · Gaming Console · 2000

    The original PlayStation 2 launched with the proprietary Sony AV Multi Out and added a digital optical TOSLINK output for Dolby Digital and DTS — a first for a Sony console. Early SCPH-30000 boards expose USB 1.1 plus an i.LINK (IEEE 1394 / FireWire 400) port for system-link multiplayer; both USB and i.LINK survive through…

  • Sony PlayStation 2 Slim (2004)

    Sony · Gaming Console · 2004

    The Slim PS2 collapses the Fat’s expansion bay into a built-in 100BASE-TX Ethernet port, making online play a one-cable affair — no Network Adapter required. The Sony AV Multi Out and optical TOSLINK survive the redesign so Dolby Digital and RGB/component cables still work, but i.LINK is gone for good. SCPH-70000 through SCPH-77000 use an…

  • Sony PlayStation 3 (Original Fat, 2006)

    Sony · Gaming Console · 2006

    The original ‘Fat’ PS3 is the most port-dense PlayStation Sony ever shipped: HDMI 1.3a, the proprietary Sony AV Multi Out, optical TOSLINK, four front USB 2.0 ports on launch CECHA/CECHB units, and Gigabit Ethernet. Launch 60GB (CECHA) and 80GB (CECHB) models add a hidden bay of three flash card readers — Memory Stick, SD/MMC and…

  • Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (CECH-2000, 2009)

    Sony · Gaming Console · 2009

    The 2009 PS3 Slim shrinks the chassis by a third and swaps the Fat’s IEC C14 power inlet for the smaller IEC C8 figure-8 used by every Slim and Super Slim after it. The redesign keeps HDMI, Sony AV Multi Out, optical TOSLINK and Gigabit Ethernet, but trims USB from four to two ports and…

  • Sony PlayStation 3 Super Slim (CECH-4000, 2012)

    Sony · Gaming Console · 2012

    The 2012 Super Slim is the final PS3 redesign — about 25% smaller and 20% lighter than the 2009 Slim, with a sliding-cover disc bay replacing the slot-loader. The port complement carries over unchanged from the previous Slim: HDMI, the proprietary Sony AV Multi Out, optical TOSLINK, two USB 2.0 ports and Gigabit Ethernet, all…

  • Sony PlayStation Vita (PCH-1000, 2011)

    Sony · Gaming Handheld · 2011

    Sony’s 2011 launch PS Vita uses two completely proprietary ports on the bottom edge: a multi-use port that combines USB data, charging and AV output via Sony’s bundled cable, and a smaller accessory port unique to the PCH-1000 OLED model. A 3.5mm TRRS headphone jack on the top edge supports a four-pole headset with inline…
