SXRD™ Panels
SXRD technology is the latest 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 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.

Unbelievable Picture in 70 inch TV
Pros: Unbelievable Picture quality for price
Cons: Need large viewing area
This TV is definately one of the best TVs I have ever owned. I have had rear projection large TVs, The 60 inch Hitachi was great for 10 years. This TV is a clare as my friends Panasonic 50 inch, but larger, as clear as our Clubs 63 inch Sharp, but larger, and it does everything well. You will notice any type of data speed drop. It will show pixles if the connections are not up to par. We have ours on cable with RJ6 cable feed first point of 2 for bandwidth. If you like clear picture with great depth, color and quality, you can not beat this unit. No one does it like Sony.
- With Advanced Iris ON
- Depending on usage, the lamp will require periodic replacement to maintain optimum picture quality. It is recommended that the lamp be exchanged after 8,000 hours of use.
