Digital Reality Creation upconverts all interlaced and progressive video
signals including HD signals directly to 1080p for amazing detail and
sharpness. And it's only fitting that your XBR make a statement not only
through breathtaking picture quality, but by taking your breath away
with optional color bezels. Now your LCD TV can be as distinct as your
own personal style. |
Features |
- Full HD 1080
There are a lot of ways to define high-definition but BRAVIA® Full
HD means you’re getting the best resolution that high-definition has
to offer consumers. With Sony BRAVIA XBR HDTVs, Full HD 1080 means
1920 x 1080 pixels5 and 1080p video inputs. Your lifestyle demands
the best in high-definition and with BRAVIA Full HD 1080 products
you get it.
- 1920 x 1080 Native Panel
Resolution
When it comes to high-definition TV the pinnacle of performance is
achieved by using 1920 x 1080 display panels. Full HD 1920 x 1080
panel resolution with over 2 million pixels 5(more than twice that
of 720p HDTV) is exactly what you need to reproduce the 1080p
content that can be delivered by our cutting edge 1080p Blu-ray disc™
player.
- 10-bit Processing and 10-bit
Display
While it's great to state that a TV is capable of creating billions
of colors it's a whole lot better when you have a display that can
actually display them. That's the logic behind Sony's 10-bit
processor and 10-bit display. Sony follows 10-bit processing with a
10-bit panel, allowing 64 times the levels of color expression than
an 8-bit panel. What that translates to is smoother transitions from
color to color and subtle color changes faithfully reproduced.
- Motionflow™ 120 Hz with Full HD
high frame rate capability
Taking motion performance to the next level requires innovation and
expertise. Enter Sony's Motionflow™ High Frame Rate technology.
Motionflow™ detects the incoming video signal and applies the
appropriate processing for optimum motion reproduction. Taking full
advantage of film sourced 24fps encoded content available on DVD and
Blu-ray Disc, Motionflow™ eliminates the need for 3:2 pulldown and
delivers smooth, judder free video, faithfully preserving the
integrity of the original film. When 60fps content is detected,
Motionflow™ doubles the amount of frames and uses real-time
calculation to create a new level of natural motion reproduction.
You'll experience movies and sports with a greater sense of realism
than ever before.
- BRAVIA Engine™ PRO Full Digital
Video Processor
BRAVIA Engine™ PRO builds upon the BRAVIA Engine system's
outstanding video processing functions making it Sony's most
advanced video processing system. It is the culmination of our
legendary picture quality expertise, featuring the latest generation
of proprietary video processing technology: Digital Reality Creation
- Multi Function (DRC-MFv2.5). This technology creates a
high-density video signal that traditional interpolation video
processing cannot achieve. This latest generation of DRC-MF features
increased processing power and provides a sharp, crystal clear image
with both 480i and 480p standard definition and all high definition
sources (except 1080p). It also features "1080p Direct Creation"
which minimizes loss in interlace-to-progressive (IP) conversion by
performing Digital Reality Creation and IP Creation algorithms
simultaneously.
- Live Color Creation™ System
featuring WCG-CCFL
Many colors in the real world such as deep reds, greens and clear
blues cannot be expressed with conventional display technologies.
Working in combination with the special WCG-CCFL backlight in LCD
HDTVs or the optical engine in our MDPJ HDTVs, Live Color Creation
technology achieves wide color reproduction using advanced chroma
signal processing algorithms. The primary benefits are clear blues,
natural greens and an overall vibrant color for all scenes.
- Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE)
Function
Sony’s Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) builds on our excellent
on-contrastratio performance of 2,000:11. A Dynamic Contrast Ratio
of up to 18,000:12 is achieved by using real-time image processing
to adjust the contrast along with optimizing backlight levels. But
rather than focus on the "numbers", Sony focuses on actual picture
performance avoiding exaggerated blacks where detail can be lost.
ACE translates to blacker blacks in darker scenes, as well as better
shadow detail in other scenes for a difference that you can see.
- x.v.Color™ technology
BRAVIA® HDTV's performance has now advanced to the point that the
color range can be defined by limitations in the original video
source, rather than the TV. Thanks to the adoption of a newly
approved international color standard called xvYCC (an option in the
HDMI v1.3 spec and which Sony participated in creating), the color
space has been greatly expanded. 1.8 times as many natural colors as
existing HDTV signals will now be faithfully reproduced. x.v.Color
enabled products can now offer more accurate color reproduction and
natural colors beyond broadcast HDTV.
- 24p True Cinema (24p Input
Capability)
Many movies are filmed at 24 frames per second (fps) and prime time
TV programs are recorded at 24p. Seizing on an opportunity, some
studios are taking a purist approach and encoding high definition
video content such as Blu-ray Disc™ in 24p. Sony wisely takes
advantage of this by including 24p output capability on our Blu-ray
Disc™ players as well as including 24p input capability select 2007
BRAVIA TVs. The benefit? Images are smooth and natural looking. Once
you experience 24p video it will be hard to view video without it.
- DMex - Ready (Digital Media
Extender)
Sony's Digital Media Extender (DMex) ready televisions offer a
digital connection path for the addition of the optional modules
like the new BRAVIA Internet Video Link. 6 With innovative DMex
expansion capabilities featuring the Emmy® award winning XMB user
interface, these models are not merely TVs, but powerful
entertainment platforms that not only meet your needs today, but
extend to add new features seamlessly.
- Xross Media Bar® (XMB) interface
When was the last time you saw an on-screen display that was fast,
fun and easy to use? Sony's award-winning Xross Media Bar™ (pronounced
Cross) provides a logical and fast way to access set up menus, user
controls, and more. The on-screen display comes to life by pushing

smooth and fast.
- BRAVIA® Theatre Sync™ technology
Sony® created BRAVIA® Theatre Sync™ to go beyond basic digital audio
and video transmission. Based on the HDMI-CEC function, BRAVIA®
Theatre Sync™ will be included on select BRAVIA® Theatre home A/V
systems and components. This useful function reduces the hassle and
time consuming job of powering up, routing signals, etc. to the

- Photo TV HD
BRAVIA® HDTVs are not just optimized for movies. More and more
people want to view photos on their large-screen HDTV sets,
expanding beyond only viewing them on computer monitors. The new
Photo TV HD mode brings the look of actual printed photography to
the HDTV reproducing high quality digital photos by fine-tuning
parameters, such as sharpness, gradation and color.
