16:9 HDTV LCD Televisions
Sleek and stylish LCD TVs, Sony’s high-performance Bravia S Series
include the KDL-26S2000 (26”), KDL-32S2000 (32”), KDL-40S2000 (40”),
and the KDL-46S2000 (46”). Each has an integrated ATSC digital tuner
and each features 1366 x 768 screen resolution,1000:1contrast ratio, a
3D Y/C comb filter and ample inputs including HDMI, component, two
composite and a PC input. They also incorporate Sony’s new 1-chip
digital video processor that reduces “block noise” around letters, such
as on-screen graphics and subtitles and enhances contrast, producing
crisp and vivid images. The chip also automatically adjusts greens
and blues for truer and brighter colors.
They feature the latest in Sony’s unique S-PVA technology, which delivers
vivid and accurate colors along with wide178° viewing angles and a blazing
8ms response time. Other features such as PC input allow users to connect a PC for viewing
content in a16:9 high resolution environment. And with integrated HDTV capabilities, you can enjoy digital programming
with enhanced audio and video reproduction. Space-saving bottom speaker design (two10-watt speakers with SRS Tru
Surround XT), a simple remote with direct input keys, and VESA compliant mounting holes round out the S-series package.
Providing exceptional value and performance, the KLV-32U100M (32”) and KLV-40U100M (40”) HD monitors are identical
to the S Series except they don’t have a tuner. They are designed to receive HD and standard TV signals via set top boxes
(cable or satellite).
FEATURES
At the forefront of technological advancement in every
generation of television for the past 40 years, Sony’s
newest brand, BRAVIA, introduces the next generation
of LCD TVs. An acronym for “Best Resolution Audio
Video Integrated Architecture”, BRAVIA brings three
key advances to LCD televisions: larger color gamut,
higher refresh rates, and televisions that automatically
adjust to ambient light conditions.
Their Super-Patterned Vertical Alignment (S-PVA) panels divide pixels into more
segments than was possible with PVA (Pattered Vertically Aligned) technology. These
segments have an incredibly fast 8-millisecond response time that increases the
television’s refresh rate. Dividing the pixel display into more segments also allows a
cleaner break between dark and light pixels, improving viewing angles, color, and
contrast. The accompanying diagram demonstrates how, by increasing in the number
of segments per sub-pixel from one to two, and increasing speed of refresh rate
accordingly, picture quality can be achieved that can entirely eliminate flicker and bring
the viewing experience to a whole new level.
Sony brings decades of television expertise and experience to LCD with a revolutionary
backlight — WCG-CCFL (Wide Color Gamut-Cold Cathode Fluorescent Light) Displaying
a color gamut almost 30% larger than a conventional CCFL display, the larger color
gamut allows BRAVIA televisions to reproduce more faithfully the colors of real life
using new spectrum phosphors to achieve deeper reds, more vivid greens, and cleaner
blues. BRAVIA TVs using WCG-CCFL in concert with HDTV standards display an image
that is far closer to what your eye would normally expect to see. Images are reproduced
with enhanced vibrancy and intensity resulting in an even greater sense of realism.
BRAVIA televisions even feature LCD panels that automatically adjust to ambient light
to ensure the optimal image the entire time you’re watching. Within every BRAVIA S
Series LCD television is an intelligent light sensor that adjusts the screen brightness to
match the ambient light in a room. The benefit to you is that the sensor makes your
viewing experience more comfortable. In a dim room, for example, the screen
automatically reduces brightness. This “intelligent” adjustment results in a more
satisfying television viewing experience.
