3LCD Panels
The 3LCD technology at the heart of Sony’ s Grand WEGA™ televisions provide a bright
picture, with high detail and natural color. These three key benefits are immediately apparent when viewing a
Grand WEGA™ TV. You can expect to see an incredibly detailed picture with eye-popping colors.

Sony uses three tiny LCD panels (0.73” or 0.87” depending on model) with a combined resolution of over 2.76
million pixels on the smallest panel and over 3 million pixels on the larger one. The light from a high output
UHP lamp shines into a filtering system that splits the beam into red, green, and blue light streams. Each
color goes through its own LCD panel, which passes or blocks the light. The three beams are then recombined
and sent to the projection lens.

Cinema Black Pro
Cinema Black Pro is an exclusive Sony function designed to improve contrast
expression especially in darker scenes. The Cinema Black Pro function is enabled by using either one or both
of two features - Iris Control and Advanced Iris. The Iris Control function sets the maximum size of the iris
opening and sets the overall level of brightness. There are six settings that allow the user to adjust the iris
opening to best match the room lighting conditions.

The Advanced Iris function is a dynamic adjustment that automatically opens and closes the iris according to
the gamma level of the picture on the screen. There are four different adjustments. The “ High” setting is ideal
for movies and music video content. And the “ Off” setting works great for sports and news content.
