An advanced Contrast Enhancer uses real-time image processing to improve image contrast for enhanced detail in every frame. The Sony KDL-52XBR6′s Full HD 1080p capability lets you take full advantage of hi def Blu-ray Disc and PlayStation 3 systems while Sony’s Digital Media Extender prepares you for the future with seamless optional-feature upgrades. Think that’s a mouthful? Read on so we can unpack that description for you.

Review By crutchfield

Every LCD TV maker takes a different approach to 120Hz processing, but Sony’s Motionflow technology is one of the most sophisticated and effective. First, it actually reduces blur in the original source image captured by the camera, then it doubles the video frame rate by inserting 60 entirely new frames between the original 60 frames. The system analyzes the motion of specific on-screen objects as well as overall movement in each scene, adjusting the amount of enhancement to create seamlessly smooth, sharp pictures.

As a leader in products with HDMI connectivity, Sony has created BRAVIA® Theatre Sync&trade technology to go beyond simple audio and video transmission. When you combine your new KDL52XBR6 with a select number of other BRAVIA audio and video products, control functions will also be transmitted via the HDMI cable. With “One Touch Play”, operations that took several steps are reduced to one. Press the PLAY button on the remote, watch the audio and/or the video component(s) turn on then the BRAVIA KDL52XBR6 television will turn on and switch to the correct video input…Simple…Easy…BRAVIA Theatre Sync.
