Quality |
|
Unique to Sony, the TRILUMINOS Display has a wider range of color than conventional LCD displays, allowing you |
||
TRILUMINOUS Display |
to see colors never before seen on TVs. Hard-to-reproduce reds, emerald greens and aqua blues are displayed |
|||
|
||||
|
beautifully, so landscapes and seascapes look more vivid, richer and intense. Faces look better, too, with natural |
|||
|
|

|
|
skin tones. |

Picture |
Clear Resolution Enhancer |
Fine details and textures appear in whatever you’re watching. |
|
|
|
|
Dynamic Edge LED backlighting with local dimming delivers pitch-black night scenes and illuminates bright Dynamic Edge LED scenes to perfect a natural look. Rather than illuminating the entire screen, contrast is boosted in just the right
areas for a more realistic picture.
Edge LED |
Powerful yet thin LEDs deliver a radically brighter picture than conventional LCD backlighting. |
Sports can be seen as clear as they would appear from the sidelines. Motionflow™ XR takes motion clarity
Motionflow™ XR beyond refresh rates (measured in Hz) to double or quadruple the motion effect. The result is a clear picture during slow panning motions or the fastest action.
