Sony pulls out all the stops for this Wega XBR! Combining a totally flat 36" screen with advanced circuitry used in Sony's latest projection TVs, the KV-36XBR400 delivers stunningly sharp images with lifelike depth and vivid, natural colors. It's also designed with enough flexibility to maximize your viewing pleasure no matter what your video source — DVD, VCR, DBS, or breathtakingly clear 1080i HDTV broadcasts using a separate DTV tuner.
Although the screen has the standard 4:3 aspect ratio, widescreen sources like HDTV programming and "anamorphic" DVDs are displayed in a 16:9 "window": No scanning lines are wasted on the black bars above and below the window, so you see maximum detail. Sony's ingenious "16:9 Enhanced" mode maximizes picture quality on anamorphic DVDs. Where most TVs reduce the number of scanning lines — and resolution — of anamorphic DVDs by 30%, 16:9 Enhanced mode slightly compresses the height of each line so you see the full 480 scanning lines!
Digital Reality Creation™ MultiFunction helps bridge the gap between conventional NTSC video and HDTV. This "digital mapping" technology creates images with up to four times the picture density of the original signal. When you watch DRC-enhanced conventional video sources — especially DVD — you'll find that scan lines simply seem to disappear!
Sony's Twin-View 2-Tuner Picture and Picture can place two equal-sized pictures side-by-side, and thanks to Multi-Image Driver X circuitry, you can then zoom one picture up and the other one down! Very cool.
