Full HD 1080p

Nothing expresses crystal-clear detail like Full HD 1080p picture quality.  Take advantage of the 

all-out HD glory of broadcast TV, satellite and other HD sources like your Blu-ray Disc™ player or 

PlayStation®3 entertainment system.

Bright and slim

Powerful yet thin LEDs deliver a brighter picture than conventional LCD backlighting. They also 

help achieve a slimmer TV design that looks beautiful in your home. What's more, Sony's Direct 

LED Backlight technology delivers outstanding contrast, rich colors and enhanced dark-scene 

detail.

Silky smooth

Recreate the movement of real life. Sprinters accelerate clearly with less blur, so watching from 

home feels like you're watching from the stands. By minimizing judder, Motionflow™ XR 120 

technology helps fast-paced action look natural for a more authentic view of the game.

Your smartphone, now on TV

Movies, music and apps from your smartphone can now be viewed big on your TV. With the

“mirror” what’s seen on the smartphone screen. Video, photos and apps are re-sized and scaled 

to fit the larger TV screen. You can then use the TV remote to navigate the phone, while it’s
