240Hz for a better 3D picture

The 240Hz panel drive, along with dynamic lamp control technology, minimizes 3D crosstalk. This
greatly diminishes the possibility of ghosting when watching 3D.

Watch standard HD content in 3D

Add a new dimension to your favorite movies, shows or videos with Sony’s unique 2D to 3D up­conversion algorithm, allowing any high denition 2D content connected via HDMI to be viewed
in immersive Sony 3D.
