• The world's purest colours come to life - TRILUMINOS
  Colour makes pictures jump off the screen. The XBR8 series uses TRILUMINOS RGB LED backlight technology aligns individual clusters of red, green, and blue LEDs to produce a significantly higher purity of primary colourss than single white LED backlights. This clustered arrangement also allows the XBR8 to adjust the brightness of the backlight in units of small blocks, so it can display deep blacks in one portion of the screen and bright whites in another, producing images with enhanced depth, three-dimensionality and exceptionally accurate shadow detail. And, because it uses LEDs rather than the fluorescent tubes found in many LCD TVs, the TRILUMINOS RGB Dynamic LED backlight also promises exceptionally long life.

• Faithful reproduction of vibrant and natural colours - Live Color Creation
  Consisting of Sony's unique image processing and backlight, Live Color Creation is a colour enhancement solution that offers a far wider range of tones. Live Colour Creation not only reproduces vivid colours, but enhances only the colours that need to be enhanced using a specially developed algorithm that plots all colours where they belong. The results are more vibrant colours and natural skin tones - of vital importance, since people are very sensitive to how skin naturally looks.
• Reproduces an Unprecedented Range of Rich Colours - x.v.Color
  Conventional CRT televisions could only display only those colours defined in the sRGB colour space. But with the recent development of flat panel televisions that can display colours beyond the sRGB colour space, a new international standard called “xvYCC" was developed to capture a wider range of colours that exist in the real world. It is approximately 1.8 times wider than the colour space defined by the sRGB. xvYCC compatible products, when used in combination with each other, can reproduce colours found in nature more faithfully than ever before.

• Indulge yourself in photo-like still images on Full HD TV. - PhotoTV HD

PhotoTV HD allows for a highly-detailed, photo-like expression of subtle textures and colours.
