3LCD Panel Technology The 3LCD technology at the heart of Sony’ s Grand WEGA™ televisions provide a
bright picture, with high detail and natural color. These three key benefits are immediately apparent when
viewing a Grand WEGA™ TV. You can expect to see an incredibly detailed picture with eye-popping colors.
Sony uses three tiny LCD panels (0.87” ) with a combined resolution of over 3.14 million pixels. The light from a
high output UHP lamp shines into a filtering system that splits the beam into red, green, and blue light
streams. Each color goes through its own LCD panel, which passes or blocks the light. The three beams are
then recombined and sent to the projection lens.
WEGA Engine™ System The WEGA Engine™ system is Sony’ s advanced video processing technology
designed to enhance and improve overall picture quality. All analog and digital video signals are processed in
the digital domain increasing signal while decreasing noise. Various video processing circuits are used to scale
the image, perform interlaced to progressive conversion and remove digital artifacts to improve the overall
picture quality. The result? You will see stunning picture quality characterized by natural looking images that
have amazing texture and detail, and excellent depth and contrast.
HDMI™ Input and More Designed for maximum versatility, Sony’ s Grand WEGA televisions are equipped
with a generous number of input interfaces. The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first
industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI supports enhanced or High
Definition video, together with multi-channel digital audio to provide matchless image and sound reproduction.
And multiple inputs such as component video, S-Video, composite video inputs along with a Digital Audio
output and variable/fixed audio output compliment the package.
