If your living room is spacious and you plan to add the best HDTV to enjoy action movies and sports with your family and friends, Sony’s models are a good choice as the manufacturer takes care not only of the quality of the image reproduced but also of the design line and price.

One example of HDTV from Sony is the Bravia W series of flat panel LCDs with full 1080p native image resolution, over 2 million pixels and a wide view. This way you can enjoy cool content with multi-channel digital audio directly from a HD Blu-ray disc player.
Bravia W series is characterized also by the advanced image processing engines such as the BRAVIA Engine EX, 10-bit display panel and processing, x.v.Color for more colors, Deep Color, 1080/24p input cable to match the Blu-ray’s content frame rate, PhotoTV HD and other technologies.

All these are encased in a 4.8-inch thin panel with a brushed metal frame design.
Sony’s HD TV not only supports the 10-bit processing but it delivers it via the specially developed 10-bit display panel, while the Bravia Engine EX full digital video processing system upgrades 480i standard definition signals from DVDs and TV broadcasts into images with 4 times the density of the original for higher detail, using the Digital Reality Creation Multi Function v1.0 technology. On the other hand, the colors are enhanced by the Live Color Creation System with WCG-CCFL backlight, which works based on advanced chroma signal processing algorithms, resulting in more natural images with deeper reds, greens and blues.



To reach 1,800:1 contrast ratio and 16,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, Sony’s HD TV counts on another high-end technology called the Advanced Contrast Enhancer, which uses real-time image processing to match the contrast with the appropriate backlight levels.
Now let’s take a look at the sound system built-in. The Sony Bravia W series comes with the S-Front Surround technology to make sounds more realistic as they are generated through the 2 speakers. This enhancement allows you to hear the same sound quality with the same volume level from any position. The TV does not require having free sides.

As we are talking about a large and impressive HD TV in your living room, we should consider the 46-inch Sony KDL-46W3000 model one possible solution. It measures 12 x 30.6 x 44.7 inches at 71.1 lbs with the pedestal, and in addition to all the technologies mentioned previously, it features Dolby Digital sound, Sound Booster, Voice Zoom, less than 0.4W power consumption in standby mode, 178 degree viewing angle, Game Mode, noise reduction, one-button Home Theater Control, LightSensor technology, Parental Control, picture freeze, power save mode, remote control with backlit, 3 HDMI connections, Component Video, Composite Video Input, Digital Audio Output, headphone out, PC Audio input, PC Video Input, and S-Video input.
