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.
