Key Technologies

16:9 Full HD 1080p resolution 16:9 Full HD 1080p resolution panel (1920 x 1080) accepts any HDTV

signal and renders it with 1080p resolution.

Motionflow™ 60Hz technology Motionflow 60Hz technology allows you to enjoy movies and prime

-

time TV (film-based content) with a clarity and resolution in motion that will spoil you. Sony’s motion

­compensation algorithm, which we call Motionflow, identifies film content and removes “judder.”
That means you'll get a clearer picture during sweeping pans with reduced visible jerking or
stuttering.

24p True Cinema™ 24p True Cinema lets you enjoy films at their intended 24 fps (frames per

second) when viewed using a 24p capable output device, such as a Blu-ray Disc™ player.

BRAVIA®

Engine

™ 2 BRAVIA Engine™ 2 fully digital video processor significantly reduces noise,

Expandability

DMe

™ functionality2 allows you to expand your HDTV’s capabilities by connecting

optional BRAVIA® Link Modules, such as the DMX-NV1 BRAVIA Internet Video Link module (sold
separately).
