Within this article we will take a closer look at the technical specifications of the KD-49XF8577 monitor from Sony. For this we will talk about all possible categories that could be relevant. To start with, we will look at the display, talk about the design and in the next section we will go into the features of the monitor. Other features such as power consumption, connectors and certifications will follow later in the text.
Display
The display is sized at 48 inches ( 1.2309999999999999 m on the diagonal). While classic CRT monitors were built with a screen ratio of 4:3, this monitor has a ratio of 1.778 : 116 (width to height). Approximately 91.5 % of the front surface of the monitor is covered by the display, while the remaining area consists of screen edges that do not allow any image output. If you want to set up several monitors next to each other, it is advisable to prefer models with the narrowest possible edges. The display is a VA panel. The panel has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 px. The pixel density is 91 ppi. The pixel pitch is 0.279 mm. The continuous possible brightness specified by the manufacturer Sony is 300 nt. The monitor's panel reaches a peak brightness of 450 nt. The panel is illuminated by Edge LED. The built-in panel ensures stable color reproduction of the image, even at deviating viewing angles, by means of its 178 ° (horizontal) viewing angle. Sony promises stable color reproduction moreover within a 178 ° vertical angle. Vertically, however, the image renews at a minimum rate of 100 hz up to 120 hz.
Color space
The panel has a bit depth of 10 per color channel, but what does that mean? The number of bits determines how many colors can be encoded for the individual pixels of the display. For an 8-bit panel, for example, this is 256 different colors (2^8 = 256). However, since we usually display three different colors per pixel at the same time, in theory about 16 million (256^3) different colors are possible by mixing the three pixels. A 10-bit panel could even display a billion colors. According to the manufacturer, the coverage of the DCI-P3 color space is 85 %. The REC 2020 color space is covered to 65 %.
Contrast ratio
Contrast ratio is a common measurement used to represent the maximum relative differences in brightness between black and white. It describes the ability of a screen or projector to produce a high-contrast image and is the quotient of the maximum and minimum displayable luminance. The higher the values are away from each other, the stronger the quantitatively seen difference between black and white is set up, which in turn results in an improved image quality. This monitor from Sony has a static contrast ratio of 3500 : 1 , according to the manufacturer.
HDR
The monitor supports all HDR modes listed here:
- HDR 10
- HDR HLG
screen design
Without the stand, the monitor comes with a width of 1.0979999999999999 m , a height of 64.4 cm and about 5.8 cm.
The size of the KD-49XF8577 on the desk is likely to be particularly relevant for most users. Sony specifies a space requirement of 70.3 x 1.0979999999999999 x 27.9 m (HxWxD) with the included stand. If you want to place the monitor on a table or even transport it, you should expect a weight of 13.7 kg with the stand screwed in. The monitor KD-49XF8577 without the stand weighs 13.2 kg. This weight reduction should be taken into account for wall or arm mounting, since monitor arms have a maximum load capacity. Speaking of weight without a stand and thus wall or table mounts. The monitor supports a Vesa mounting.
Rotate, tilt and swivel
The monitor from Sony cannot be rotated. The monitor cannot be swiveled. This feature could be retrofitted with a third-party stand. A tilt function was not provided by Sony with the included stand.
Ports
The ' KD-49XF8577 ' monitor is equipped with 1 RJ45 Ethernet port(s) that allow direct connection to wired networks. This feature opens up the possibility for users to benefit from a stable and potentially higher network speed, especially in situations where a reliable Internet connection is essential.
camera
This monitor does not have a camera.
Loudspeaker
Features
WiFi / Bluetooth
This model ( KD-49XF8577 ) supports Wi-Fi. This wireless network connection allows devices to display content from a smartphone or tablet, for example, or to download apps from an app store, similar to TVs. However, monitors usually do not have this functionality because they are only operated in connection with a notebook or PC. The protocols are supported:
Wi-Fi Direct is supported by KD-49XF8577 , which is a standard for data transfer between two WLAN devices without a central wireless access point. This functionality makes it possible, for example, to send and display pictures and videos directly to the monitor without a Wi-Fi connection to the router. The KD-49XF8577 supports Bluetooth.
Power consumption
The average consumption was given by Sony as 88 w. The maximum power consumption (peak) specified for this monitor is 160 w. In standby mode, the device consumes approximately 0.5 w. The monitor can be operated on a 220v power supply. The power grid has to supply a frequency of 50 hz to 60 hz.
Environment
The monitor has a built-in ambient light sensor, which can be used, for example, to dynamically adjust the brightness of the monitor to the ambient conditions. The maximum permissible ambient temperature is 40 °C during operation. Below a temperature of 0 °C , the monitor from Sony should again not be used. The humidity must not exceed 80 percent. At least, however, 10 percent humidity.
