Powered by the Bravia 2 Pro Engine and featuring Sony’s Triluminos three-color LED backlight technology, the new 1080p KDL-55XBR8 and KDL-46XBR8, which offer 55” and 46” sized screens respectively, sport 10-bit processing, Advanced Contrast Enhancer PRO (ACE PRO) and Sony’s 120Hz Motionflow technology, the latter serving to remove ‘judder’ to improve picture clarity whilst working to double existing frame rates from 60 to 120 - thus improving picture quality when viewing fact paced action scenes such as sports - and x.v.Color compatibility which, according to Sony, ‘expands the potential color data range of video by about 1.8 times, resulting in the display of more natural and vivid colors similar to what the human eye can actually see.’

Additionally, Sony’s Digital Media Extender (DMeX) is also on offer allowing for ease of expandability and the addition of new features by offering compatibility with RAVIA DVD Link, the BRAVIA Wireless link, the BRAVIA Input Link (due to ship later this year) and the currently available BRAVIA Internet Video Link. Sony’s Digital Media Port (DMP) compatibility also puts in an appearance – allowing ease of connectivity with portable media devices, such as iPods and Sony’s Walkmans, as well as USB flash memory drives.

The new XBR8 models come with four 1080/60 24p HDMI connections (HDCP), two 1080/60p HD component inputs, a 1080/60p-capable PC input, Ethernet (RJ-45) port and a RS-232C connection.
