Key Technologies
Motionflow™ 120 Hz with Full HD high frame rate capability
Achieving smoother, natural motion reproduction starts with the
right performance characteristics such as the ultra fast panel response times our BRAVIA® LCD and BRAVIA SXRD HDTVs have. Taking
motion performance to the next level requires innovation and expertise. Enter Sony's Motionflow™ High Frame Rate technology.
Motionflow doubles the amount of frames from 60fps to 120fps and does it the right way by using real-time calculation of every single
frame of video to create entire new frames of information. Users can choose between three settings, one of which offers a slightly
cinematic feel and somewhat smoother than usual motion. The results are spectacular and unlock a new level of motion reproduction.
Movie and animation DVD's will now look smooth and natural with a true sense of realism.

BRAVIA Engine™ Video Processing System
BRAVIA Engine™ is a full digital video processing system that came about as a
result of Sony's expertise and long heritage in bringing cutting-edge picture quality to consumer televisions. Its fully digital signal-
processing path includes video processing functions that are designed to improve overall picture quality. Enjoy the benefits of natural
looking images with amazing detail and sharpness, reduced noise, and improved depth and contrast.

10-bit Processing and 10-bit Display
While it's great to state that a TV is capable of creating billions of colors it's a whole lot
better when you have a display that can actually display them. That's the logic behind Sony's 10-bit processor and 10-bit display.
Sony follows 10-bit processing with a 10-bit panel, allowing 64 times the levels of color expression than an 8-bit panel. What that
translates to is smoother transitions from color to color and subtle color changes faithfully reproduced.

Live Color Creation™ System featuring WCG-CCFL
Many colors in the real world such as deep reds, greens and clear blues
cannot be expressed with conventional display technologies. Working in combination with the special WCG-CCFL backlight in LCD
HDTVs or the optical engine in our MDPJ HDTVs, Live Color Creation technology achieves wide color reproduction using advanced
chroma signal processing algorithms. The primary benefits are clear blues, natural greens and an overall vibrant color for all scenes.

S-Force™ Front Surround
Built around a sophisticated set of Sony algorithms, the S-Force Front Surround enhancement function
generates realistic surround sound from the two speakers in the TV. Unlike some other "virtual surround" technologies, S-Force Front
Surround sound does not need to be bounced off of side walls or other surfaces to hear three-dimensional sound. No matter what the
size or shape of the room it's possible to hear sounds from behind you.
