Features
LCD Panels
All LCD panel sizes will be 1280 X 768 (WXGA) resolution. 32” and up
utilizes the Wide Color Gamut Cold-Cathode Fluorescent (WCG-CCFL)
backlighting for increased color uniformity and accurate grey-scales. The
26” model uses conventional fluorescent lights.
The 26 and 32-inch models (with the exception of the 32XBR4) utilize 8-bit
LCD panels. The 40 and 46-inch panels receive 10-bit RGB information.
All panel sizes (except the 32” XBR) are 60FPS refresh rate.
Exclusive to the KDL32XBR4 and KDL40D3000 is Sony’s introduction
of Motionflow™. An additional circuit is included to double the 60HZ
frame resolution from the video process circuits to 120HZ for clear picture
reproduction during rapid moving scenes. In this manual this feature will
be referred to as High Frame Rate (HFR).
New Customer Menu
The customer Graphics User Interface (GUI) has been improved to make
navigation of the setup features easier. Icons (similar to those found on
the PSP2) are used extensively. It is known as XMedia Bar™ (pronounced
cross media bar) or XMB for short.
Internet Video Linking
Yet another first for Sony, the Bravia™ model lineup will include a Digital
Media Exchange (DMEX) interface. By attaching an optional interface
device, known as Bravia Internet Video Link™, customers will have the
ability to access internet video entertainment via a broad-band connection.
Local news, weather and traffic along with access to selected digital media
streaming can be viewed on the television independent of a computer.
A special DMEX USB port on the rear of the television will allow bi-
directional communication with the Bravia Internet Video Link™ device
via the Xross Media Bar™ feature included in the television. Sony will
partner with selected channels on the internet and these will automatically
appear on the screen for the customer to select.
