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

HDTV signal and renders it with optimum resolution.

TRILUMINOS®

RGB Dynamic LED Backlight

TRILUMINOS

RGB LED backlight technology aligns

individual clusters of red, green, and blue LEDs to produce a significantly higher purity of primary colors than single white LED backlights, resulting in more accurate color reproduction. This clustered arrangement also allows the XBR®8 to adjust the brightness of the backlight in units of small blocks, so it can display deep blacks in one portion of the screen and bright whites in another, producing images with enhanced depth, three-dimensionality and exceptionally accurate shadow detail. And, because it uses LEDs rather than the fluorescent tubes found in many HDTVs, the TRILUMINOS® RGB Dynamic LED backlight also promises exceptionally long life.

BRAVIA Engine

™ 2 PRO BRAVIA Engine™ 2 PRO is Sony’s most advanced video processing system,

utilizing the latest generation of Digital Reality Creation technology to render a supremely sharp, crystal clear image from any video resolution.

Motionflow™ 120Hz PRO technology Motionflow™ 120Hz PRO technology couples a high 120Hz

frame rate with sequential scanning technology, which controls the backlight to horizontally divide frames and reduce visual flickering. The combination of high frame rate and sequential scanning significantly reduces source image blur and judder in film sources, HD content, broadcast movies, and primetime programming, and helps create smoother, more fluid motion for a natural and realistic viewing experience.

10-bit processor / 10-

bit panel:

The BRAVIA® XBR®8-Series HDTV combines a 10-bit processor and

10-bit panel to create and display billions of colors. Using both a 10-bit processor and 10-bit panel allows for 64 times the level of color expression in 8-bit panels, resulting in smoother color transitions and helping to avoid giving the picture a “paint-by-numbers” look.
