3LCD Panels
The 3LCD technology at the heart of Sony’s Grand WEGA™ televisions provide a bright picture, with high detail and natural color. These three key benefits are immediately apparent when viewing a Grand WEGA™ TV. You can expect to see an incredibly detailed picture with eye-popping colors. Sony uses three tiny LCD panels (0.73” or 0.87” depending on model) with a combined resolution of over 2.76 million pixels on the smallest panel and over 3 million pixels on the larger one. The light from a high output UHP lamp shines into a filtering system that splits the beam into red, green, and blue light streams. Each color goes through its own LCD panel, which passes or blocks the light. The three beams are then recombined and sent to the projection lens.
WEGA GATE® User Guide
Explore and navigate your Sony® BRAVIA™ television effortlessly with the WEGA GATE user guide. You can easily change your settings or access your favorite TV channels and external inputs. Simply touch the WEGA GATE button on the remote control to activate the comprehensive graphic menu. Your eyes remain on the screen instead of searching in the dark for tiny buttons on the remote control.
HDMI™ and PC Connectivity
Designed for maximum versatility, Sony’s Grand WEGAT™ 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.
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.
