The 70" Sony KDL-70XBR7 is a stunning display in every way — it's the largest flat-panel LCD we've ever carried. Its screen provides 80% more viewing area than a 52" TV. The stylish piano-black cabinet places the speakers out to the sides of the screen to create spacious sound that stays anchored to the on-screen action. On the inside, Sony's most powerful video processing technologies ensure that all your video sources look their best.
Motionflow™ 120Hz processing ensures smooth, natural motion
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.
10-bit LCD panel and video processing for more accurate colors
Another key factor determining picture quality is the color resolution of the LCD panel and video processing circuitry. The KDL-70XBR7's 10-bit LCD panel can display 1024 levels of gradation for each primary color — red, green, and blue — compared to only 256 steps for the 8-bit panels found in most TVs. And 10-bit video processing takes full advantage of the panel's exceptional color resolution to show even the subtlest shadings.
Enjoy better-looking non-HD video, too
High-def video looks amazing, but realistically, we'll probably still be watching some standard-definition programs for a while yet. And that's when you'll really appreciate BRAVIA Engine 2™ PRO video processing. This collection of Sony technologies works to reduce noise, enhance detail, and optimize contrast on a scene-by-scene basis — even on 1080p sources.
Versatile inputs keep you ready for the latest HD sources
The KDL-70XBR7's "jack pack" includes four advanced HDMI connections that will ensure maximum picture quality as high-def formats evolve. Sony calls them 24p True Cinema capable, which means they can accept the 1080p/24 output from a Blu-ray player. Most movies are originally shot at 24p (24 frames per second), so this feature lets you see video in its most flawless form. One HDMI input is placed on the side of the TV so it's easier to hook up an HD camcorder or video game console.
