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.

    BRAVIA(R) Theater Sync(TM)
    BRAVIA Theater Sync is based on the industry standard HDMI-CEC function and allows your HDMI cable to do more than just transmit pure digital audio and video signals by allowing one-touch control of compatible A/V components. Functions include: ONE-PUSH PLAY, ONE-PUSH Theater SETTINGS and ONE-PUSH SYSTEM POWER OFF

    "I just purchased this HDTV which now interfaced with a high end Home Theatre system and XBOX360. I was surprised to discover that the unit does support 1080P through the XBOX360. The XBOX360 using the XBOX HDMI adapter auto configured the recommended resolution without any user modifications requirements and now includes an "Optimal Setting", commonly found on computer interfaces. Since HD titles are 720P native..." Read Full Review »

    "I got this TV and was very happy at first. However, the first time I watched a film at night I noticed a flaw in my television. The black on the screen is not a flat, even black. Watching the television during the day you can't notice this but as soon as you want to turn the lights off and watch a good film at night it can be very distracting. The problem occurs for dvds, cable, video games, everything. It seems..." Read Full Review »

    "After extensive research, this Sony product fit the bill hands down. You can't beat the quality for the price. J & R, by the way, offered the lowest price. Assembly could not have been easier. The flat surround blends beautifully with the picture. "
