Continuing to drive the advanced television category with
technological breakthroughs, Sony today announced its 2003
line-up of 16:9 LCD-based Sony rear projection television
sets from the Grand WEGA lineup.
New to this year's line is the KF-42WE610, a 42-inch widescreen
projection model offering Sony's groundbreaking LCD-based
rear projection picture technology in a more compact and versatile
screen size.
The KF-42WE610, along with the 50-inch KF-50WE610 and 60-inch
KF-60WE610 projection television models all combine a proprietary
LCD Optical Engine with Sony's WEGA Engine™ system to
deliver exceptional, detailed picture quality from various
video sources. Each of the newly designed models includes
enhanced Memory Stick® media functionality for an exceptional
home entertainment viewing experience.
All 3 projection TVs models feature the WEGA Engine™
system, which maximizes picture performance from any video
source by minimizing the number of digital-to-analog conversion
processes. This full digital processing engine includes:
Direct Digital circuitry, which reduces signal to noise
ratio when converting the signal from analog to digital;
Digital Reality Creation™ MultiFunction circuitry,
which gives viewers control over the level of DRC™ circuitry
depending on quality of input signal, thereby displaying clear,
stable images, no matter the video source; and
MID™-X (Multi Image Driver), which maintains the integrity
of a converted signal by minimizing image loss in the scaling
process and provides Flexible Twin View™ picture and
picture features.
Each model also includes CineMotion™ reverse 3:2 pulldown
circuitry for optimum film-based video source display, and
packs in audio power with the TruSurround® SRS® audio
system.
The new Sony Wega models all incorporate a proprietary optical
engine, which utilizes Sony's three wide XGA high-resolution
LCD panels, one for each of the RGB signals. This results
in a total of 3.15 million dots of resolution for a crisp
and consistent picture across the screen and from corner to
corner.
Grand WEGA models' use of LCD panels in reproducing images
eliminates uneven aging of phosphors and does not require
periodic convergence adjustments. In addition, with the unique
dot-line inversion drive technology, the set delivers images
virtually free of blurring, shading and ghosting.
The Optical Engine also features a special eleven element
lens system that allows the rear-projection set to have a
lightweight, ultra-slim cabinet design. The lens system bends
the light path, creating an ultra-short focal point while
maintaining high levels of brightness. This proprietary lens
system delivers vivid images from the center of the screen
all the way to the edges.
Additionally, the new Grand WEGA LCD television models incorporate
an improved green trim filter for greater contrast ratio as
well as a UV filter for improved black levels. As a result,
models display a 25 percent improvement from first generation
model in overall black levels, further enhancing picture brightness
and contrast.
The new sets also offer Uniform Brightness Screen™
technology, which provides a wider vertical viewing angle
and consistent horizontal brightness from top to bottom, resulting
in brilliant picture images that can be seen from any angle.
In addition, each model features a Double Anti-Reflective
Coating screen that minimizes glare for an even more enjoyable
home theater experience.
For the best digital connection, the line-up incorporates
a Digital Visual Interface (DVI-HDTV) connection that enables
copy-protected, high-definition video content to be delivered
to the unit from a DVI/HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) compatible set-top box, such as Sony's SAT-HD200
HD/DIRECTV receiver.
Expanding upon their Memory Stick media slots for displaying
JPEG images, the KF-42WE610, KF-50-WE610 and KF-60WE610 include
MPEG1 file playback. Viewers can now watch their favorite
video files recorded onto the Memory Stick media directly
on the new widescreen set.
The 2003 Grand WEGA models have a sleek, two-tone chassis
that can easily be incorporated into any home theater setting.
The Sony KF-42WE610, KF-50WE610 and KF-60WE610 will be available
in September for about $2,500, $3,000 and $4,000, respectively.
