Bravia Engine EX processor: The Bravia Engine EX full digital video processing system is based on Sony's renowned Bravia Engine video processing system. It has all of the same functions of Bravia Engine plus the added ability to upconvert 480i standard definition signals via Digital Reality Creation Multi Function v1.0 technology for a picture with more detail and definition. Live Color Creation ™ : Live Color Creation starts with the Bravia Engine PRO video processing system, which enhances primary colors and corrects half-tone colors for natural overall color. Next, a WCG-CCFL backlight using Sony ’ s phosphor formula delivers a specific spectrum of light designed to work with our specially formulated color filters. The combination of these three components creates deep blues and natural greens for overall colors that draw you right into the picture. Advanced Contrast Enhancer: Sony's Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) builds on their excellent on-contrast ratio performance of 2000:1. A dynamic contrast ratio of up to 18,000:1 is achieved by using real-time image processing to adjust the contrast along with optimizing backlight levels. ACE translates to blacker blacks in darker scenes, as well as better shadow detail in other scenes for a difference that you can see.
