X-Reality

Don’t let your enjoyment be hampered by low-resolution source videos. With Sony’s exclusive X-Reality Engine, everything you watch – from HD movies to web videos – is analysed and selectively processed to give clean, clear, and lifelike pictures. While 3 unique noise reduction features work their magic prior to upscaling, Sony’s Intelligent Image Enhancer divides the signal into four characteristics – texture, outline, contrast,and colour – and optimises each one individually for more vivid and distinct pictures.

Quick Start & Viewing

With this feature, power consumption for your BRAVIA television is reduced to nearly zero while in standby mode. But if you choose to switch off the main power outlet, you’ll be glad to know that the startup time after switching it on again has also been shortened by as much as 2-3 times. No matter how you choose to save power, BRAVIA televisions make it both easy and convenient.
