Full HD 1080p
It`s a High Definition world and the best High Definition Resolution this brave new world offers is 1080p; that`s why Sony has more Full HD 1080p HDTVs than ever before. Full HD 1080p means our connections accept 1080p signals and the Display will render that signal in Full HD 1080p. The flexibility of native 1920 x 1080 displays allows any High Definition content to be viewed without the need to downconvert images to the native Resolution of the Display. Take full advantage of Blu-ray Disc(TM) players and PlayStation3 systems that can deliver 1080p content.

DMex
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(TM) user interface making HDTVs a powerful entertainment platform that not only meets Current needs, but expands to meet tomorrow`s needs as well.

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.

BRAVIA(R) Engine(TM) 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.

    Rich Graphics
    Delivering a fun user experience is what the new rich graphics are designed to do. Accessing video content and sharing it 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 access.

    TV Guide(R) 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(TM) user interface.

    BRAVIA(R) Sync Technology
    Allows the access and control multiple tasks and system operations with one button ease. BRAVIA Sync is the name for a new family of control features that not only includes BRAVIA Theater Sync, but will now include BRAVIA Sync. This feature allows the user to control a CEC-enabled camcorder connected to a BRAVIA HDTV via an HDMI cable by using the HDTV`s Remote Control and an on-screen Display that shows camcorder transport functions.

    24p True Cinema
    Movies and many prime time TV programs are captured at 24 frames per second (24p). Sony`s Blu-ray Disc(TM) players wisely take advantage of this by including 24p output capability allowing a compatible connection with BRAVIA(R) HDTVs that have this capability. The benefit– You can watch movies in natural, cinematic motion, the way they are seen at the cinema. Every single frame of the movie can now be seen without using additional video processing that converts film-based images to video reproduction.

The latter is easily activated for a large market analysis view as well as slide shows.
