- Some Sony Bravia models that can be updated carry out the update automatically.
In the product selection from electronics giant Sony, “Bravia” identifies the TV sets – including high-end models with OLED displays and also simpler LED TVs that are already available in stores for significantly lower prices. You can recognize the premium models by the abbreviation “XR”, the cheaper representatives bear the designation “KD”.

The TV set then automatically adapts to the timing specified by the PC or game console. For Sony’s Playstation 5, however, the VRR update should not yet work on the in-house TV models.
