LOS ANGELES -- Sony Electronics is stepping up its television game.

The tech giant announced the launch of its Z Series of TVs, a line of 4K HDR Ultra HD models, at an event on Wednesday.

The TVs have displays that are said to feature ultra-contrast and more realistic, accurate color. They also boast Backlight Master Drive Technology, which Sony says expands brightness and contrast, and features a LED structure that delivers "deep blacks and dazzling lights."

The Z series is a direct result of that unique partnership between our engineering and creative teams.”

The Z series also supports Android TV, Google's TV platform, which taps into movies, music, photos, games, search and apps. Users can also utilize Google Play and Google Cast.

The Z series is available for pre-sale beginning Wednesday. Prices start at $6,999.
