LCD TVs from Sony explained...

LCD versus CRT

Cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions have been with us for 75 years, and in that time, the technology has developed to such an extent that until recently, it was impossible to compare the best LCD TV with the best CRT. But things have moved on. Today’s LCD TVs are comparable with the best CRT technology available, with high brightness and contrast, natural colour and highly detailed pictures. And all this in a package just a few inches deep, that you can hang on the wall like a picture, if that’s what you want to do. In addition, you can replace your existing CRT with a larger size LCD TV and benefit from large space savings.

What makes a good picture?

At the heart of all Sony LCD televisions are high-resolution image processors. This delivers higher contrast, brightness and resolution, natural colours and unrivalled picture clarity and sharpness. There are several key components to Sony high-resolution image processors which include:

With DRC you will never miss a detail again. DRC boosts the video signal, without boosting the noise, increasing the number of vertical lines and horizontal pixels by up to 4 times the original number, to dramatically increase resolution. DRC also includes a Dynamic Contrast system, which improves resolution at the black end of the contrast spectrum, and IP Conversion, which keeps fast-moving pictures looking smooth and free from motion artefacts. DRC also enhances the signal quality without increasing the noise.This means you can relax with the confidence that you are enjoying the best picture quality possible.

3D Digital Comb Filter

3D Digital Comb Filter gives you pure colour. It works by separating colours more clearly by using a motion detector and frame buffer. This gives better separation between colour and luminance, preventing cross-colour interference, which keeps the colours clean and pure even in complex patterns. We are all familiar with the cross colours generated by detailed patterns. This is eliminated using the 3D Digital Comb Filter.

Digital processing

The high-resolution image processors are fully digital. All signal processing is carried out in the digital domain, so there is no possibility of noise being introduced into the signal by analogue-to-digital, or digital-to-analogue, signal conversion.

HDTV (high-definition television) explained...

Broadcasters around the world are moving over to high-definition broadcasts. High definition is already established in Japan, USA and Australia, and in Europe there are currently satellite networks broadcasting in high definition. Leading public and pay TV broadcasters, such as the BBC and BSkyB, are investing heavily in HDTV broadcasting for a European roll-out in the next couple of years. High-definition broadcasts, as the name implies, are much more detailed than regular broadcasts. The extra definition adds a new dimension to TV images. Viewed on the right display, it’s closer to looking through a window, than looking at a television screen.
