BRAVIA™ HD TVs (LED & LCD) - HX820 Series

Sony’s OptiContrast Panel incorporates CORNING’s Gorilla Glass to provide brighter images and better contrast under all conditions, whilst reducing the gap between panel and LCD screen to minimise reflection. In addition, the front panel is more durable and resistant to scratches than conventional screens.

Sony’s advanced image processing engine analyses each scene to give optimum colour and contrast.

Enjoy great pictures, no matter the source

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. X-Reality PRO has two additional functions including Database Comparison which compares the input signal with a vast database of video signals stored within it’s memory and Super Bit-Mapping which smoothes out colour gradation.

Brighter, clearer 3D

The brilliant 3D picture is achieved by illuminating its LCD panel with high brightness Light Emitting Diodes set along the edges. Whilst providing a brighter overall image these diodes can also be individually and specifically controlled to display deeper blacks and greater contrast.

By using high frame rate LCDs with a “frame sequential display”, Sony makes it possible to watch Full HD 3D quality video on 3D compatible BRAVIA LCD TVs. This technology involves alternately transmitting images for the left eye and right eye to the screen.

When viewed through the “active shutter glasses”, the two separate images on the shutter glasses are synchronized with the onscreen image with their Full HD quality intact, and precisely transmitted to the viewer’s eyes. The high-quality super-fine Full HD 3D images deliver unprecedented reality and presence.

Motionflow XR 400 improves motion performance so that fast actions appear clearer and sharper, and smoother than ever. This feature works in two ways:
(1)200Hz Technology inserts newly created frames
(2)Backlight blinking within each frame ensures sharper images without flickering.
