Is this TV good for PS5 gaming?

It supports PS5 Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode, and a Game Menu gathers settings. The 60Hz panel means it won't do 4K at 120Hz, so it suits casual console play more than competitive gaming.

Does it have local dimming or mini-LED?

No. It is a standard LED-backlit set without a mini-LED or full-array local dimming system, so contrast is more modest than Sony's higher-tier models.

What smart platform does it run?

Google TV, with all major streaming apps in one interface. It also supports Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Cast for streaming from phones and tablets.

Can it upscale older HD content?

Yes. The 4K XR-Reality PRO upscaling is designed to restore texture and detail, bringing 1080p and 720p content closer to near-4K.

Does it support 4K at 120Hz or VRR?

The listed refresh rate is 60Hz, and HDMI 2.1 gaming features such as 4K at 120Hz and VRR are not part of the spec.

What is included with Sony Pictures Core?

The TV offers access to the Sony Pictures Core app for included movies, alongside the usual streaming apps.
