Experience a New World of BRAVIA - BRAVIA Engine 2™ - 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. BRAVIA Engine 2 technology
optimizes the colour, contrast, detail and clarity of every scene for the
exceptional performance that BRAVIA HDTVs are known for.
Enjoy Sports and Action at Full Speed - Motionflow™ 120Hz - Sony has
created the unique Motionflow 120Hz technology to enhance the smoothness of
fast-action pictures. Motionflow adds intermediate frames to create
smoother pictures and enhance the depth and reality of your display. This
reduces jitter in high motion scenes, creating a smooth, seamless picture
for the eye. Motionflow is just the kind of technology for enjoying
fast-paced action like the Stanley Cup Finals or your favourite action
movies.
A True Cinematic Experience Every Time - 24p True Cinema - Movies consist
of 24 images per second, and cannot be faithfully reproduced on
conventional televisions, resulting in unnatural, jerky movements. But 24p
True Cinema displays the 24 progressive images as they should be, in the
same sequence as the original film source. Now, you can recreate the visual
clarity of cinema-quality movies in the comfort of your own home.
Faithful reproduction of vibrant and natural colours - Live Color Creation
- Consisting of Sony’s unique image processing and backlight, Live Color
Creation is a colour enhancement solution that offers a far wider range of
tones. Featuring WCG-CCFL with a newly developed phosphor coating to
enhance colours, it’s the unique combination with Sony algorithms that
gives BRAVIA the edge. Live Color Creation not only reproduces vivid
colours, but enhances only the colours that need to be enhanced using a
specially developed algorithm that plots all colours where they belong.
Colours that in the real world fall outside the sRGB triangle are
re-plotted as close to the original colour in the WCG-CCFL colour space.
The results are more vibrant colours and natural skin tones – of vital
importance, since people are very sensitive to how skin naturally looks.
Reproduces an Unprecedented Range of Rich Colours - x.v.Color -
Conventional CRT televisions could only display only those colours defined
in the sRGB colour space. But with the recent development of flat panel
televisions that can display colours beyond the sRGB colour space, a new
international standard called “xvYCC” was developed to capture a wider
range of colours that exist in the real world. It is approximately 1.8
times wider than the colour space defined by the sRGB. xvYCC compatible
products, when used in combination with each other, can reproduce colours
found in nature more faithfully than ever before.

Indulge yourself in photo-like still images on Full HD TV. - PhotoTV HD -
Most users store their digital photos on their PC and view it on a small
computer screen. Despite how highly detailed the digital image is, the
viewing experience was limited by the size and performance of the display.
PhotoTV HD is Sony’s proposition to enjoy digital images on large-screen
Full HD television, bringing the emotion of the photo back to life. PhotoTV
HD allows for a highly-detailed, photo-like expression of subtle textures
and colours. While conventional televisions were optimized for displaying
moving images, BRAVIA features a new picture mode called “Photo” which
was developed specifically to reproduce the natural beauty of photos. For
instance, the delicate texture of the human skin, flowers, sands and waves
can now be expressed on the large screen in beautiful photo-like quality.
