Product Details

Sony Grand WEGA 60" SXRD Rear Projection TV, Model KDSR60XBR2

The successor of the highly-acclaimed XBR-Series, Sony’s flagship Grand WEGA™ XBR-Series projection televisions carry on the legacy of its predecessor. Equipped with the same SXRD™ technology, the XBR®2-Series picture captures movement with unprecedented accuracy, and the Cinema Black Pro function provides superior contrast (up to 10,000:1). The XBR® Series has WEGA Engine HD™ video processing technology for refined high definition picture quality. Available in more sizes than the previous series and includes three HDMI inputs (1080p) for uncompressed audio/video interface between TV and compatible external components. Bigger, brighter and better than ever, Sony’s Grand WEGA SXRD™ XBR™ Series provides the Full HD 1080p experience with stunning detail, film-like images, and crisp, smooth motion.

Features:

  • SXRD™ Panels
    SXRD technology is the latest display technology developed by the legendary television engineers at Sony to meet and exceed the demands of a High Definition image at its full 1080 line resolution. Digitally transmitted High Definition signals can contain over 2 million individual detail points that need to be displayed accurately and rapidly. SXRD displays those 2 million detail points per SXRD panel accurately since the 3 SXRD panels actually contain enough pixels to fully display a 1080 line picture without interlacing it. SXRD™ has the speed to create a smooth, film like image. The SXRD™ panels have a blistering 2.5ms response time (total rise and fall time), which exceeds the demands of even the most rapidly moving High Definition images. And SXRD creates highly accurate, natural colors because the 3-panel design displays all the colors, all the time.
  • Advanced Iris
    Advanced Iris is a special Sony function designed to improve brightness and contrast expression especially in darker scenes. It is accessed inside the Picture Menu and offers 2 Auto settings and 5 Manual settings. Auto 1 and Auto 2 are dynamic adjustments that automatically open and close the iris according to the gamma level of the picture on the screen. Auto 1 is best used for viewing video content that has a large variation in brightness from scene to scene. Auto 2 is best for viewing video content that has less variation in brightness from scene to scene. The 5 manual settings (Max, High, Medium, Low, and Min) can be used to adjust the iris opening to allow the best possible picture viewing depending on ambient room lighting conditions. For instance, High works well for viewing in brightly lit rooms. Low is a good setting for viewing in low light conditions.
  • WEGA Engine™ HD
    The latest generation of Sony’s exclusive WEGA HD Engine™ fully digital signal-processing path includes video processing functions that are designed to improve overall picture quality. The WEGA Engine HD has similar functions to the WEGA Engine™ (Green, blue and white color enhancer circuit for a vivid image, Digital MPEG Noise Reduction Circuit reduces annoying MPEG artifacts, and the Digital Contrast Enhancer circuit delivers crisp and vivid images with high contrast. The WEGA Engine HD adds the following:
    • DRC-MFv2.5 Sony’s exclusive video signal processing that improves video signals to a realistic and clean picture quality according to signal types.
    • CCP-XA Generates high purity, high Signal-To-Noise ratio and enables the generation of wide bandwidth and stable digital component signals.
    • IFP2 Has functions that optimize contrast remove noise in the signal to reproduce video with little noise and blur.
  • HDMI™ and PC Inputs
    Designed for maximum versatility, Sony’s Grand WEGA™ XBR® line is equipped with a comprehensive range of input interfaces. The HDMI™ (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI™ technology supports enhanced or High Definition video, together with multi-channel digital audio to provide matchless image and sound reproduction. The PC input (D-Sub 15) offers easy connection to your PC, allowing you to use your high resolution Grand WEGA XBR TV as a computer monitor.

This is my first projection television and it has been very positive. The picture is great and the connection options and quality are equally impressive. My only complaint is that the picture takes a long time to brighten up.

Sony Still Tops
Reviewed by Jorge G. (Practical, Tech Savvy) from Chicago, IL on Feb 05, 2007
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Outstanding HDTV, picture makes me wonder why I waited so long to get one. The only things I had an issue with were the lack of more HMDI connections in the back (1 of the 3 is located on the front panel for gaming) as I have multiple dvd players and Hi-Def DVR for my Satellite causing me to have to purchase additional equipment to be able to plug everything in via HMDI. The TV has 9 video (Great!!!) connections and they placed the HMDI connections at the end of the sequence which means you have to cycle through the video connections one by one to get to them (kind of slow, they need to come up with a quicker way to get to the desired video input). Sony is still the one and only.
Pros: Attractive Design, Great Picture, Fast Setup, Simple Controls
Best Uses: Movies, Home
