Sony 50'' XBR Grand Wega Widescreen Rear Projection LCD HDTV Monitor (kf-50xbr800)

This second-generation Grand Wega TV offers so much more performance and flexibility than the first generation that Sony raised it to XBR status - signifying that it's one of Sony's finest TVs. Thanks to innovative design and cutting-edge optics and video processing technology, the KF-60XBR800's picture will amaze you with bright, gorgeous colors and pixel-perfect clarity - all without a bulky cabinet! The combination of high resolution and compact size (about as deep as a conventional 27" TV!) makes this a perfect big-screen TV for smaller rooms, too. Sony achieves this incredible image detail by using three 1.35"-wide LCD elements (one each for the red, green, and blue signals) that deliver picture resolution of over one million pixels. Compared to the previous Grand Wega, the KF-60XBR800 has improved overall black levels by 25%, further enhancing picture brightness and contrast. Besides making it possible to create a big picture in a slim cabinet, using LCD panels eliminates misconvergence and other limitations of conventional CRT-based rear-projection TVs, while greatly reducing the potential for image "burn-in." (This TV is a terrific choice for videogame fans.) The XBR Grand Wega LCD projection display is so packed with pixels (1366 x 768 pixels) that it makes your most demanding sources, like 1080i HDTV broadcasts (HDTV reception requires a separate HDTV tuner) and progressive-scan DVD (480p), look magnificent. The TV automatically converts all input sources to a high-resolution progressive output for a picture that is effortlessly realistic and smoothly consistent. For your standard non-HD sources (like VCRs, cable TV, etc.), Sony includes Digital Reality CreationTM (DRC) circuitry to produce a smoother, more solid picture. This latest version of DRC gives you complete control over the level of picture enhancement.
