3D Be immersed in a life-like viewing experience with 3D. Watch 3D movies on Blu-ray disc, the internet, and even 3D photos with a natural depth of field.

Full HD 3D

3D Super Resolution

Full HD 3D comprises 1920 x 1080 lines of resolution and adds ‘left’ and ‘right’ frames which make up a 3D image. On a Full HD screen, quickly alternating left and right images are displayed in sync with battery-powered glasses while on a 4K screen, non-powered glasses let each eye see a Full HD image.

3D Super-resolution is a core function of the X-Reality PRO Engine, which now includes 3D content analysis and processing: with individual resolution enhancements applied to foreground objects and another for distant objects. Because resolution and associated detail are selectively applied to individual areas, a more natural, comfortable 3D viewing experience is achieved.

Design with an attitude Sony BRAVIA TVs have always been designed with the user environment in mind: your living room. Last year saw the awe-inspiring monolithic design with a single sheet of glass that blends in beautifully with any home décor. This year

we’re stepping up and giving you our most daring look so far. The Sense of Quartz design will set a new standard for television design; once you have seen it in your home you would never want to go back.

Sense of Quartz

Sense of Quartz is a powerful new direction in TV design. Timeless geometrical forms are fused in balance with the monolithic quartz-like panel that ‘floats’ over the circular base. Flawless design that will make any room look a lot classier.

The XrossMediaBar (XMB™) is Sony’s original graphic user interface that allows for simple navigation of various media and content. With XMB™, navigation is made so simple you don’t even need to look at the remote control while searching and selecting content! The interface won the Technology & Engineering Emmy Award for "Outstanding Innovation and Achievement in Advanced Media Technology for the Best Use of Personal Media Display and Presentation Technology."

Magnetic Fluid Speaker Magnetic Fluid Suspension improves sound quality considerably because the pathway from the voice coil to the diaphragm is shortened, which helps minimise transmission loss – and produce crisp, clear, extended mids and highs. In conventional speakers, diaphragms are suspended on dampers which generate secondary sound pressure that may cause distortion. The new subwoofer design uses Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) on the diaphragm which enables accurate sound reproduction – enhancing the diaphragm strength, and providing a lightweight design.
