Do You Enjoy Netflix in Your Home Theater?

Netflix is one of those internet institutions that is now ingrained in popular culture, and not just in the U.S. Younger viewers may not even realize that the company started as the internet alternative to Blockbuster video rentals, shipping physical discs conveniently to your home and doing away with the dreaded late fees.

These days, of course, Netflix is the 800-pound gorilla of internet video streaming, with a seemingly endless array of titles to watch. Moreover, they have become a force in Hollywood, financing many original movies and shows that can be viewed by audiences more massive than ever before, and garnering multiple Golden Globe and Oscar wins.

If you have a media room or home theater installation in your Atlanta, GA home, chances are you have a few Netflix favorites. It doesn’t hurt that Netflix has also been ahead of the curve in adopting the most advanced audio and video technologies in their original content like 4K, Dolby Atmos surround sound, and Dolby Vision that make great use of the latest AV equipment. And if you love Netflix, you'll love it even more with the newest feature Sony includes in its latest TVs and projectors. Read on to learn more.

Netflix Calibrated Mode

You may often hear the term “the way the creators intended” when discussing the reproduction of audio and video in home equipment. We may even be guilty of using it ourselves, but only when we have seen a manufacturer pull out all the stops to offer top-tier performance in a product.

Sony has done just that for Netflix Original content, as the material is mastered to very high production values that Sony wants you to enjoy when you see it. Netflix Calibrated mode offers a one-touch solution for ensuring that your streamed Netflix Original shows, like Stranger Things, look the way the directors intended on a Sony TV. You won’t have to fiddle with brightness, hue, saturation, and contrast settings on your set; the Calibrated mode can be set easily from your remote.

Netflix Calibrated mode is available not only on a variety of Sony TVs like the X900 series and the A9H and Z9H, but it is available on several models of Sony ES home theater projectors as well.

IMAX Enhanced

Netflix Calibrated mode isn’t the only feature you can get for enhanced realism in your home theater. IMAX Enhanced is a licensing and certification program for high-end TVs and projectors, and this feature is now available across the high end of Sony’s TV and projector lines. IMAX Enhanced assures that equipment meets an elevated standard of both video and audio performance for home viewing, much like the immersive IMAX experience you know from commercial theaters.

Sony features like Netflix Calibrated mode and IMAX Enhanced bring hyper-realism to your entertainment in your home theater or media room.
