Bravia (brand)
Bravia (stylized as BRAVIA) is a brand of Sony Visual Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony, and is used for its television products. Its name is a backronym for "Best Resolution Audio Visual Integrated Architecture". All Sony high-definition flat-panel LCD televisions in North America have carried the logo for BRAVIA since 2005. BRAVIA replaces the "LCD WEGA," which Sony used for their LCD TVs until summer 2005 (early promotional photos of the first BRAVIA TVs still bearing the WEGA moniker). In 2014 (on the part of Sony President and CEO Kazuo Hirai's plans to turn Sony around), BRAVIA was made into a subsidiary rather than simply a brand of products.
BRAVIA televisions and their components are manufactured in Sony's plants in Mexico, Japan, and Slovakia for their respective regions and are assembled from imported parts in Brazil, Spain, China, Malaysia, and Ecuador. Principal design work for BRAVIA products is performed at Sony's research facilities in Japan, in the research and development department at the Sony de Mexico facility in Baja California, Mexico, and at the Sony Europe facility in Nitra, Slovakia.
The brand was also used on mobile phones in North American, Japanese, and European markets as of 2007.
In May 2013 Sony introduced their first 4K BRAVIA TV models smaller than X900 from late 2012. In May 2015, Sony launched their first lineup of Android television Bravia models that allowed users to access content from services like YouTube, Netflix and Hulu as well as install apps and games from the Google Play store. In addition, Bravia eventually integrated with Google Assistant for controlling home automation and voice commands.
In September 2016, Sony announced that TVs older than 2012 will lose access to YouTube.
Sony introduced their first 4K Ultra HD OLED Android TV under the BRAVIA brand, named as the A1E in January 2017 with an X1 Extreme processor. The A8F was the next OLED TV introduced by Sony at CES 2018. At IFA 2018, the A9F with an X1 Ultimate processor was unveiled. In 2019, Sony introduced newer version 4K OLED models, A8G and the Master Series A9G, followed by the A8H in 2020. For 2021 Sony offered the world's first cognitive intelligence TVs with its latest XR A.I. Cognitive Processor in the new A80J and Master Series A90J.
In April 2007, Sony launched the BRAVIA TDM-IP1, a docking cradle to permit playback of audio and video hosted on an Apple iPod on a BRAVIA model television.
Current accessories available include a Skype camera (CMUBR100) and Wi-Fi adapter (UWABR100).
