WEGA Engine™ System

Sony's unique WEGA Engine™ system solution optimizes the potential of Grand WEGA Technology to achieve high picture quality. Various signals such as RF standard definition broadcasts, composite video, component video, high definition video (interlaced or progressive) and even Memory Stick® media images benefit from this process. The WEGA Engine system converts all signals into the digital domain and applies an entire system of processes. The result– Better resolution and sharpness, higher contrast, less digital noise, and greater picture dimension.

Twin View®

Allows you to watch two programs side by side with the ability to zoom in on one picture and listen to the program in the selected window. You can also watch pictures from two different sources (1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i) at the same time.

Live Color and Live Color Demo Mode

Sony's innovative circuit that emphasizes blues and greens without affecting reds for a more natural, vivid picture. Three levels of enhancement are available (High, Medium, Low) as well as Off. And the Live Color Demo Mode produces a split-screen that shows a side-by-side comparison of the picture with Live Color and without it. The Live Color Demo Mode can be accessed through the Application Menu. Pressing the RESET button exits the demo mode.

Amazing TV! This TV has totally overdone itself. It is better the most flat LCDs out there today, and it's a projection! The speakers are excellent too. I don't even need surround sound because of how good these speakers are. I would use this over most LCDs on the market today! November 25, 2010
