Sony Grand WEGA XBR 60" LCOS Projection TV (KDSR60XBR2) - New

Features
Thin, but powerful, the Sony KDS-R50XBR1 Grand WEGA™ SXRD™ Rear Projection HDTV is equipped with SXRD technology and offers a brilliant, colorful image pleasing to any pair of eyes. SXRD technology employs three Silicon X-tal Reflective Display panels, which aid in the response time of image changes and movement. Each one of these panels is associated to a primary color: red, blue or green. These panels combine their monochromatic colors into one creating a single, full color image that is displayed onto the screen via an energy-efficient high output lamp (RGB Image 1920 x 1080). Other features of the KDS-R50XBR1 include WEGA GATE™ Easy Operation Guide for easy channel and television function use as well as CineMotion® technology, which provides reverse 3:2 pull down technology for smoother picture movement when playing back movies or other video sources on film. Sony's WEGA Engine™ system also minimizes signal distortion providing you with the best HD picture and sound for hours of viewing pleasure.
SXRD™ Panels
SXRD technology is a new display technology developed by the legendary television engineers at Sony® to meet and exceed the demands of a High Definition image at its full 1080 line resolution. Digitally transmitted High Definition signals can contain over 2 million individual detail points that need to be displayed accurately and rapidly. SXRD displays those 2 million detail points per SXRD panel accurately since the 3 SXRD panels actually contain enough pixels to fully display a 1080 line picture without interlacing it. SXRD has the speed to create a smooth, film like image. The SXRD panels have a blistering 2.5ms response time (total rise and fall time), which exceeds the demands of even the most rapidly moving High Definition images. And SXRD creates highly accurate, natural colors because the 3-panel design displays all the colors, all the time.
Cinema Black Pro
Cinema Black Pro is an exclusive Sony function designed to improve contrast expression especially in darker scenes. The Cinema Black Pro function is enabled by using either one or both of two features - Iris Control and Advanced Iris. The Iris Control function sets the maximum size of the iris opening and sets the overall level of brightness. There are six settings that allow the user to adjust the iris opening to best match the room lighting conditions. The Advanced Iris function is a dynamic adjustment that automatically opens and closes the iris according to the gamma level of the picture on the screen. There are four different adjustments. The “High” setting is ideal for movies and music video content. And the “Off” setting works great for sports and news content.
WEGA Engine™ HD
Because of the special demands HDTV places on signal quality a new generation of Sony’s exclusive WEGA Engine™ advanced picture quality system has evolved into WEGA Engine™ HD. Two innovative digital imaging processes have been added to improve overall picture quality. A High Contrast Image processor dynamically detects the histogram of each frame and instantly applies the ideal contrast level for crisper images. And the Natural High Density Picture image processor reduces noise elements by intelligently separating the noise from the video signal for a purer more detailed picture. Enjoy a stunning display of realistic images, amazing detail and sharpness, reduced noise and enhanced clarity with improved depth and contrast.
HDMI™ and PC Inputs
Designed for maximum versatility, Sony’s Grand WEGATM XBR® line is 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. The PCD input (HD-15-pin) offers easy connection to your PC, allowing you to use your high resolution Grand WEGA XBR TV as a computer monitor.
