BRAVIA Engine™ 3 fully digital video processor

USB with photos, music, and video
Connect your compatible camera, USB-enabled MP3 player, or USB storage device directly to the HDTV's USB input to view photos on the big screen or listen to your favorite MP3s. BRAVIA® W-series HDTVs also include mpeg2 video file support, so you can go straight from shooting video to screening it via USB.

DLNA® with photos, music, and video
Compliance with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) allows BRAVIA® W-series HDTVs to access digital photos, music, and video from DLNA-enabled PCs and other devices, so you can enjoy your memories with family and friends in the comfort of your living room instead of crowding around a PC.

An HD combo input, which includes HD component and composite inputs, (1080/60p capable) provide added HD-capable connectivity, and a PC input2 (HD-15 pin) offers the added versatility of using your HDTV as a computer monitor.

BRAVIA Sync™ 1 capable
BRAVIA Sync capability combines the one-touch access and control functionality of BRAVIA Theatre Sync™ with the ability to control HDMI CEC-enabled Sony® Handycam® camcorders and Cybershot® digital still cameras using the HDTV's remote and an on-screen display.

ATSC/NTSC tuner with QAM
A built-in ATSC/NTSC tuner with QAM delivers over-the-air digital TV and unencrypted HDTV broadcast signals, as well as traditional analog TV broadcasts.

Exceeds Energy Star 3.0 Requirements
Sony® W-series HDTVs exceed Energy Star 3.0 requirements by over 15% on Home Mode. In addition, they incorporate advanced power saving features such as Light Sensor® technology that adjusts backlight intensity based on ambient room lighting conditions and Dynamic Backlight Control that adjusts backlight intensity based on the brightness of the image on the screen.


Footnotes:
1. Works with other BRAVIA® Sync™ or Theatre SyncTM labeled home audio/video products when connected via HDMI.
2. Limited to resolutions supported by both the PC and the Sony® HDTV. For supported resolutions, see Sony TV user's manual and PC documentation.
3. Video quality and picture size will vary depending on your broadband connection speed (we recommend at least 2.5Mbps and 10Mbps for HD content) and the content itself. Select content provided and subject to change.
