FullDMex
Sony`s Digital Media Extender (DMex) offers a digital connection path for optional modules like the BRAVIA Internet Video Link, as well as other modules you can add in the future. Innovative DMex expansion capabilities integrate into the award-winning XMB™ user interface making HDTVs a powerful entertainment platform that not only meets current needs, but expands to meet tomorrow`s needs as well.

Full BRAVIA® Engine™ Technology
The latest version of Sony`s respected BRAVIA Engine fully digital video processor uses a collection of unique SONY algorithms to significantly reduce noise and produce sharp, vibrant, life-like images...

  • Dynamic Noise Reduction: Intelligently identifies and dramatically reduces noise in the signal according to the motion and brightness of each scene for clearer, crisper images.

  • Detail Enhancement: Improved image enhancement algorithms render greater overall detail.

  • Contrast Enhancement: Works with the Advanced Contrast Enhancer circuit to optimize the contrast for every scene to create better depth and reality.


  • BRAVIA Engine technology optimizes the color, contrast, detail and clarity of every scene for the exceptional performance that BRAVIA HDTVs are known for.

    Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE)
    Part of the cinematic drama in film-making comes from details found in shadows and dark areas of the picture. Sony`s Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) uses real-time image processing to dynamically adjust backlight levels for improved contrast without masking details the filmmaker intended you to see. ACE delivers deep blacks in darker scenes, as well as fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the picture for a difference you can truly see.

    TV Guide® On-Screen Interactive Program Guide
    The TV Guide On-screen IPG delivers continually updated program listings to users. The guide requires no subscription fees or phone connection and is available at no extra cost to the consumer. Sony is the first company to integrate the TV Guide On-Screen User Interface into a custom interface — Sony's exclusive Xross Media Bar™ user interface.

    Rich Graphics
    Delivering a fun user experience is what the new rich graphics are designed to do. Accessing video content and sharing digital photos with your family and friends on an HDTV is now fast, easy and fun. Colorful thumbnails cascade before your eyes allowing you to visually choose what you want to see. Viewing digital images through Sony`s photo viewer is now more organized and can be quickly accessed.

    "New HDTV unpacked, set in place, and plugged in---worked great. I also have an 46XBR2 and this one does seem better on SD and HD but it is difficult to see the difference. The menu on the XBR 6 is very different than the XBR2 which does not have all the XBR 2 complicated stuff, at least I haven't found it if it does. The XBR 6 has the deep black thing but really did not have to use it. No dead pixels and the col..." Read Full Review »

    "We have a cabinet that will only accomodate a TV that is about 36 and 1/2 inches wide. We had previously had a 32 inch diagonal plasma tv in it. This 37 inch LCD had the narrow width to fit in our cabinet. I had seen other 37 inch TV's, but most were only 720p. I wanted true 1080p this time.
