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™ standard definition is upconverted to 1080p for a picture so real it’s like you’ re
actually there.
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.

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 HDTVs, Full HD 1080 means 1920 x 1080 pixels and 1080p video inputs. Your lifestyle
demands the best in high -definition and with Sony Full HD 1080 products you get it.
BRAVIA Engine™ Full Digital Video Processor BRAVIA® V-Series LCD televisions use Sony's BRAVIA Engine™ full digital video
processor for crisp and clear images. Several special picture enhancement technologies are integrated into the processor to create
better gradations and details, enhance contrast, dynamically improve color, and reduce image flicker.
Live Color Creation System 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™ 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 reds and blues and colors that draw you right
into the picture itself.
HDMI™ and PC Connectivity Designed for maximum versatility, Sony’s BRAVIA V-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 image and sound reproduction. BRAVIA V-Series TVs include (2) HDMI 1080/60p inputs. The PC input (HD-
15-pin) offers easy connection to your PC, allowing you to use your high resolution BRAVIA V-Series Digital TV as a computer monitor.
