Key Technologies
Full HD 1080
 
There are a lot of ways to define high-definition but BRAVIA Full HD means you’re getting the best resolution that high-
definition has to offer consumers. With Sony BRAVIA XBR HDTVs, Full HD 1080 means 1920 x 1080 pixels and 1080p video inputs. Your 
lifestyle demands the best in high-definition and with BRAVIA Full HD 1080 products you get it.
1920 x 1080 Panel Resolution
 
When it comes to high-definition TV the pinnacle of performance is achieved by using 1920 x 1080 
display panels. And BRAVIA V-Series televisions have them. Full HD 1920 x 1080 panel resolution with over 2 million pixels (more than 
twice that of 720p HDTV) is exactly what you need to reproduce the 1080p content that can be delivered by our cutting edge 1080p Blu-
ray disc™  player. And working with BRAVIA Engine™  PRO everything from standard definition and high definition is upconverted to 
1080p for a picture so real it’s like you’re actually there.
BRAVIA Engine™  PRO Full Digital Video Processor
 
Presenting the next evolution of the BRAVIA Engine™  - BRAVIA Engine™  PRO. 
Sony improved on the great benefits of the BRAVIA Engine™  by adding a picture quality enhancement circuit called Digital Reality 
Creation Multi-function v2.5. DRC-MFv2.5 now has the added ability to process interlace and progressive video signals and because it 
has twice the processing power of previous DRC-MF circuits, it can do its processing and output them to 1080p. (Native 1080p input 
signals are not processed through DRC-MFv2.5.) Add to this the crisp details, outstanding contrast, eye popping colors, and 
dramatically reduced digital artifacts that DRC-MF circuitry is known for. And the best part of all is that DRC-MFv2.5 is user adjustable 
according to the video source. All of this helps define the reason why people want Sony TVs to begin with - unparalleled picture 
quality.
Live Color Creation System featuring WCG-CCFL
 
Decades of television know how allow us to realize that an LCD TV is more 
than just the panel; it’s actually a system. Uncompromised picture quality starts with combining carefully chosen components and 
circuits to optimize system quality, among these are the color creation and processing functions. That’s what Live Color Creation is all 
about. It starts with the BRAVIA Engine™  PRO video processing system, which enhances primary colors and corrects half-tone colors for 
natural overall color. Next, a WCG-CCFL backlight using Sony’s phosphor formula delivers a specific spectrum of light designed to 
work with our specially formulated color filters. The combination of these three components creates deep, deep blues and natural 
greens for overall colors that draw you right into the picture.
Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) Function
 
Sony’s Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) builds on our excellent on-contrast 
ratio performance. A Dynamic Contrast Ratio of up to 7000:1 is achieved by using real-time image processing to adjust the contrast 
along with optimizing backlight levels. But rather than focus on the "numbers", Sony focuses on actual picture performance avoiding 
exaggerated blacks where detail can be lost. ACE translates to blacker blacks in darker scenes, as well as better shadow detail in 
other scenes for a difference that you can see.
HDMI™  and PC Connectivity
 
Designed for maximum versatility, Sony’s BRAVIA XBR-Series LCD TVs are equipped with a 
comprehensive range of input interfaces. The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, 
all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI technology supports enhanced or High Definition video, together with multi-channel digital 
audio to provide matchless imageand sound reproduction. BRAVIA XBR Series TVs include (3) HDMI 1080/60p inputs. The PC input
(HD-15-pin) offers easy connection to your PC, allowing you to use your high resolution BRAVIA XBR-Series Digital TV as a computer 
monitor.
