Sony Electronics Asia Pacific introduces the latest additions to its full HD television range with the new BRAVIA X and W series including Sony?s largest full HD 70? BRAVIA X series television, together with the new HD-ready (WXGA) BRAVIA D series. Leading Sony?s full HD television range is the new BRAVIA X series powered by Sony?s premium BRAVIA Engine PRO for optimal 1080p image by recreating high resolution images even with SD signals. The new BRAVIA W series is driven by the Sony?s developed BRAVIA Engine EX to recreate true-to-life HD quality images even from SD signals.

To achieve higher picture quality, the new BRAVIA X and BRAVIA D series are equipped with Sony?s developed Motion Flow technology to reproduce sharper and smooth motion of fast moving objects on the televisions. Also available in these new BRAVIA X, W and D series is Live Colour Creation technology that utilises the new 10-bit panel to faithfully reproduce natural, smooth graduation and vibrant colours. Combined with x.v.Colour (based on new xvYCC international standard) introduced in BRAVIA X and W series for the first time, a wider range of colours can be realised to deliver a richer colour experience. With Sony?s Advanced Contrast Enhancer, these BRAVIA televisions can also display fine details even in dim lighting by reproducing finer lines of graduation.
