84X9000 needs a service call
Sony has confirmed that the currently-available BRAVIA X9 4K LED television is to gain support for the brand-new HDMI Version 2.0 and makes good on a promise.
Quite why they couldn't have explained themselves before and assured customers with something tangible remains a mystery but this is good news for X9 owners.
Available from the end of 2013, an online firmware update future-proofs the the X9, allowing it to display 4K (3840 x 2160) at up to 60p. Until now, the BRAVIA X9 has only been able to handle 4K video at frame rates up to 30p.
The no-cost upgrade will enable the X9 available in 65 and 55 screen sizes to receive and display future 4K content up to 60p via a single HDMI cable.
Upgrading the 84X9000 to the latest HDMI Specification Version 2.0 will require service assistance. Sony will begin offering a Service Upgrade Program from the end of 2013.
