Features

X-Reality™ Picture Engine

Sony’s advanced image processing engine analyses each scene to give optimum colour and contrast.

Enjoy great pictures, no matter the source

Don’t let your enjoyment be hampered by low-resolution source videos. With Sony’s exclusive X-Reality Engine, everything you watch – from HD movies to web videos – is analysed and selectively processed to give clean, clear, and lifelike pictures. While 3 unique noise reduction features work their magic prior to upscaling, Sony’s Intelligent Image Enhancer divides the signal into four characteristics – texture, outline, contrast, and colour – and optimises each one individually for more vivid and distinct pictures.

Edge LED

Using Edge LED backlight technology results in a much thinner and lighter BRAVIA when compared to conventional direct-type backlight system televisions. Typically used for small to mid-sized computer monitors, Sony has adapted this new type of backlighting for LCD TVs. The result is a more efficient light transmission process and lower power consumption without any compromise to picture quality.

Skype™ Ready

Make calls to other Skype users or even regular telephone numbers, even as you watch your favourite shows.

Make free video calls over the Internet

Keep in touch with friends and family easily by making and receiving Internet voice and video calls*2 from your television. All you need is a compact microphone/camera to make free Skype-to-Skype calls and low-cost SkypeOut calls to regular telephone numbers.

Remote Keyboard

Connect your TV to your VAIO for seamless navigation.

Easy TV control and text input

Use your VAIO keyboard to control your television and input text quickly and conveniently.

3D Integrated

By using high frame rate LCDs with a “frame sequential display”, Sony makes it possible to watch Full HD 3D quality video on 3D compatible BRAVIA LCD TVs. This technology involves alternately transmitting images for the left eye and right eye to the screen.

When viewed through the “active shutter glasses”, the two separate images on the shutter glasses are synchronized with the onscreen image with their Full HD quality intact, and precisely transmitted to the viewer’s eyes. The high-quality super-fine Full HD 3D images deliver unprecedented reality and presence.

lighter elements.

BRAVIA Sync

Watch as your entire entertainment system comes alive with the push of a single button! With BRAVIA Sync, each entertainment device synchronises itself with the others so that a single command can bring every system online and playing your favourite programmes instantly.

Live Colour™

Live Colour™ can reproduce colours more vividly with an image processor that uses an algorithm specially developed by Sony. You can even adjust colour vividness for optimal image quality with four different options available. With Live Colour™, you’ll be able to experience the power of vivid colours and impressive pictures with finer colour tuning.

MPEG Noise Reduction

MPEG Noise Reduction automatically reduces block noise and improves the edges of characters while at the same time, successfully suppressing noise that usually appears at high contrast edges. Enjoy crisp, noise-free images with sharp edges on BRAVIA series televisions.

Advanced Contrast Enhancer

By reproducing fine levels of gradation and dynamically controlling the contrast of every image, the Advanced Contrast Enhancer delivers superior light, mid and dark tones in every scene. Now you can enjoy those deep dark scenes without sacrificing the brightness of the lighter elements.

Picture-In-Picture

Watch two separate pictures from different sources on the screen at the same time! PIP allows you to view a main programme as a full-screen image, while a sub-screen displays images from another channel, video source or teletext page. When watching with PC input, the TV channel is viewed as a small window.

24P True Cinema™

While conventional televisions (and most DVDs) operate at 50Hz, modern film-makers record their films onto Blu-Ray Disc™ using 24 frames per second (24Hz, or 24P). With 24P True Cinema™, your BRAVIA will automatically recognise these films and select the correct format for playback so you see and hear the film just as in the theatre.

PhotoTV HD

While conventional televisions (and most DVDs) operate at 50Hz, modern film-makers record their films onto Blu-Ray Disc™ using 24 frames per second (24Hz, or 24P). With 24P True Cinema™, your BRAVIA will automatically recognise these films and select the correct format for playback so you see and hear the film just as in the theatre.

Wi-Fi

Enjoy convenient internet connections with Wi-Fi Integrated and Wi-Fi Ready models. These features enable you to use the BRAVIA Internet TV & Widgets without any additional wires and lets you experience true freedom from cumbersome and messy cables.
