Sony's 2017 flagship used HDMI 2.0b ports with an Enhanced Format tweak to push 4K@60Hz more reliably. HDMI 2 and 3 supported the enhanced spec, while all ports delivered 18Gbps theoretical bandwidth. HDMI 3 has eARC for modern soundbars, and optical audio backs it up. Gaming at high frame rates isn't possible, but streaming and regular TV work great. Here's every port and the cables you'll need.
Legendary flagship with Backlight Master Drive, incredible HDR performance, supports 3D content.
