"Our new models provide outstanding picture quality and are a great value for those consumers yet to embrace HDTV," said Greg Gudorf, vice president of television marketing for Sony Electronics.

The picture performance is supported results from a panel resolution of 1366 x 768. The chassis has a high performance, one-chip video processor, Sony's Dynamic Picture® processor circuitry, and CineMotion® Reverse 3:2 Pulldown technology to insure a bright, crisp, high contrast image.
