Using decades of TV technology experience, Sony has developed the fully digital, high definition BRAVIA Engine 3. Through this dynamic video processor you’ll see incredibly clear, vibrant images and surprising detail in both standard definition and high definition – even 1080p signals will be improved. It does this by optimizing the contrast for each scene, delivering impressive depth and realism. A specially developed algorithm enhances colours to be significantly more vibrant and realistic. The BRAVIA Engine 3 even improves standard definition signals so your old DVDs will look their best.
Motionflow 240Hz technology to enhances the smoothness of fast-action pictures by coupling a high 240Hz frame rate with sequential scanning technology, which controls the backlight to horizontally divide frames and reduce visual flickering. Motionflow creates smoother pictures and enhances the depth and reality of your display. This is just the kind of technology for enjoying fast-paced action like the Stanley Cup Finals or your favourite action movies.
Consisting of Sony’s unique image processing and backlight, Live Color Creation is a colour enhancement solution that offers a far wider range of tones. Featuring WCG-CCFL with a newly developed phosphor coating to enhance colours, it’s the unique combination with Sony algorithms that gives BRAVIA the edge. Live Color Creation not only reproduces vivid colours, but enhances only the colours that need to be enhanced using a specially developed algorithm that plots all colours where they belong. Colours that in the real world fall outside the sRGB triangle are re-plotted as close to the original colour in the WCG-CCFL colour space. The results are more vibrant colours and natural skin tones – of vital importance, since people are very sensitive to how skin naturally looks.
Advanced Contrast Enhancer allows the television to display every detail even in dark scenes by reproducing fine levels of gradation. Advanced Contrast Enhancer circuit (ACE) dynamically improves contrast, resulting in deep blacks in darker scenes without losing fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the picture.
Movies consist of 24 images per second, and cannot be faithfully reproduced on conventional televisions, resulting in unnatural, jerky movements. But 24p True Cinema displays the 24 progressive images as they should be, in the same sequence as the original film source. Now, you can recreate the visual clarity of cinema-quality movies in the comfort of your own home.
Conventional CRT televisions could only display only those colours defined in the sRGB colour space. But with the recent development of flat panel televisions that can display colours beyond the sRGB colour space, a new international standard called “xvYCC” was developed to capture a wider range of colours that exist in the real world. It is approximately 1.8 times wider than the colour space defined by the sRGB. xvYCC compatible products, when used in combination with each other, can reproduce colours found in nature more faithfully than ever before.
The Digital Living Network Alliance, an industry standard networking capability, allows DLNA compliant products to work with one another. Access photos, music and video trapped on your PC and share them with friends and family from the comfort of your living room or family room via a BRAVIA DLNA-enabled HDTV. Relive those moments on the big screen, and avoid the less intuitive PC experience.
Connect your camera, USB-enabled MP3 player, or USB storage device directly to the HDTV's USB input to view photos on the big screen or control your latest music playlist. BRAVIA XBR9-Series HDTVs also include MPEG2 video file support, so you can go straight from shooting video to screening it over USB.

Use your in-home broadband connection and the BRAVIA HDTV remote control to access online video, music, and more content from over 20 providers including YouTube™, Sports Illustrated, Sony Pictures, Sony Music,Slacker, and Epicurious.com.

Access and control multiple tasks and system operations with one button ease. BRAVIA Sync is a new family of control features. Connect an HDMI enabled camcorder to a BRAVIA HDTV via an HDMI cable. Control both with the HDTV’s remote control and an on-screen display that shows camcorder transport functions.

Sony is the first company to integrate the TV Guide On-Screen user interface into a custom interface - Sony's exclusive Xross Media Bar™ user interface.
Scene Select makes choosing the appropriate settings for the best HDTV experience easier than ever. Scene Select packages different picture and audio settings based on the type of content you want to view. For example, the "Sports" package configures the perfect picture and audio settings to make you feel like you're right in the stadium. Other packages include "Cinema," "Photo," "Game," and "Music."
Most users store their digital photos on their PC and view it on a small computer screen. Despite how highly detailed the digital image is, the viewing experience was limited by the size and performance of the display. PhotoTV HD is Sony’s proposition to enjoy digital images on large-screen Full HD television, bringing the emotion of the photo back to life. PhotoTV HD allows for a highly-detailed, photo-like expression of subtle textures and colours. While conventional televisions were optimized for displaying moving images, BRAVIA features a new picture mode called “Photo” which was developed specifically to reproduce the natural beauty of photos. For instance, the delicate texture of the human skin, flowers, sands and waves can now be expressed on the large screen in beautiful photo-like quality.
Get versatile HD connection options with seven HD inputs. Four HDMI inputs (up to 1080/60p capable) let you connect a Sony PlayStation®3 entertainment system, Blu-ray Disc™ player, or any other HDMI-capable equipment and get uncompressed digital video and multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. An HD combo input, which includes HD component (1080/60p capable) and composite inputs, provide added HD-capable connectivity, and a PC input (HD-15 pin) offers the added versatility of using your HDTV as a computer monitor.
