The KDS-R60XBR1 uses the SXRD (Silicon Crystal Reflective Display) projection technology that has made Sony's ultra-exclusive $30,000 Qualia 004 front projector and $13,000 Qualia 006 70" rear-projection TV two of the most highly acclaimed video products ever. Now you can experience this stunning picture quality in your home theater for a fraction of that cost.
SXRD is a refined version of LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) display technology. The KDS-R60XBR1 uses Sony's newest high-definition SXRD image panels, each with 1920 x 1080 pixels the highest resolution available. SXRD also boasts the highest "pixel density" of any TV available, as well as the tightest between-pixel spacing. The distance from the middle of one pixel to the middle of the next is only about 1/8 the width of a human hair! SXRD images possess jaw-dropping clarity, detail and depth, but the most striking quality is a silky smoothness that creates a more filmlike look.
The KDS-R60XBR1's exceptional color purity is one of the main advantages of using three SXRD image panels (one each for red, green, and blue signals). This 3-chip design ensures rich, radiant, rock-steady color. Sony's innovative Cinema Black Pro "dynamic iris" technology improves contrast and black level by reducing the TV's light output in dark scenes. A circuit continuously samples the brightness content of the video signal and adjusts the iris opening on the fly to deliver the best possible brightness, contrast, and black level.
As you'd expect from a top-performing HDTV, the KDS-R60XBR1 has a versatile array of inputs that will keep your system plugged in now and in the future. Along with two HD-compatible component video inputs, you'll find two pure-digital HDMI inputs, and three i.LINK ports, which permit high-def recording and playback with compatible HD recorders. A standard PC input lets you use this TV as a jumbo-sized computer display, too.
