Features:

3LCD Chips
The 3LCD technology at the heart of Sony's BRAVIA™ televisions provide a bright picture, with high detail and natural color. These three key benefits are immediately apparent when viewing a BRAVIA™ TV. You can expect to see an incredibly detailed picture with eye-popping colors. Sony uses three tiny LCD chips (0.73") with a combined resolution of over 2.76 million pixels. The light from a high output UHP lamp shines into a filtering system that splits the beam into red, green, and blue light streams. Each color goes through its own LCD chip, which passes or blocks the light. The three beams are then instantaneously recombined and sent to the projection lens.

BRAVIA Engine™ EX System
The BRAVIA Engine™ EX video processing system came about as a result of Sony's expertise and long heritage in bringing cutting-edge picture quality to consumer televisions. It contains intelligent picture enhancement technology that reduces unwanted digital artifacts and delivers superb clarity and detail along with vivid colors. Sony's own Digital Reality Creation Multi-function v1.0 (DRC-MFv1) processor replaces the original SD signal with its HD equivalent. The result of BRAVIA Engine EX processing? Picture quality has texture and detail, deep and vibrant colors, along with excellent depth and contrast.

Live Color Creation
Live Color Creation is a special Sony function that achieves precise, wide color reproduction using a combination of advanced chroma signal processing algorithms. The benefit is clear blues, natural greens and overall vibrant colors in all scenes.

Xross Media Bar (XMB™) On-Screen Menu System
Xross Media Bar is Sony's Emmy Award1 winning on-screen navigation interface. XMB users can navigate through the different types of media by scrolling horizontally across icons. After selecting the media type, a list of its content appears as vertical thumbnails. The main benefit of the XMB™ is that it alleviates the need to look at the remote control while searching and selecting content.

DMex Compatibility
DMex compatibility allows the connection and operation of a whole new category of products that is being developed by Sony (sold separately). The first of these products is the optional BRAVIA Internet Video Link module.

BRAVIA Internet Video Link
The first DMex product to be introduced to the market is the DMX-NV1 BRAVIA Internet Video Link module (sold separately). BIVL, as it is affectionately called, can stream available Internet video from select content providers directly to your TV with a broadband connection2 without the need for a PC.

BRAVIA™ Theater Sync
Go beyond simple audio and video transmission with the "one-touch play" remote control feature that allows you to easily manage select Sony HDMI audio and video components with a single remote.

S-Force Front Surround
S-Force™ Front Surround is a virtual surround sound experience made possible using just two front speakers - in select BRAVIA models. To accomplish this, Sony spent several years studying how our ears work. By understanding exactly how we recognize the origin, direction, volume and timing differences in sound right and left ear, Sony was able to create complex audio processing that delivers dynamic virtual surround sound without the need to bounc

Advanced Iris
Created to improve contrast expression in darker scenes, the Advanced Iris function uses one of two modes to display a better looking picture. The auto mode has two settings designed to work best with video content such that varies between bright and dark scenes. For added convenience, you can also manually control this feature to suit the specific program you are watching.

HDMI™ and PC Connectivity
Designed for maximum versatility, Sony's BRAVIA™ MDPJ H-Series high definition televisions are equipped with a generous range of input interfaces. The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI supports enhanced or High Definition video, together with multi-channel digital audio to provide matchless image and sound reproduction. Two (2) 1080p HDMI connections are part of the jack pack for KDF-37H1000. A PC input (via HDMI) offers easy connection to your PC, allowing you to use your high resolution KDF-37H1000 HDTV with your PC3.

    BRavia H series

    By Tuffy

    from Spring Texas

    Comments about Sony 37" BRAVIA LCD Rear Projection HDTV:

    Bought at Circuit city during closing.Floor model ,three years old, and lamp needs replacing after owing for two years, replacement lamp is pricey,but easy to install.Picture Quality is good to excellent. Use as an apartment Main TV. I love it! But I wish I would have bought the flat screen instead. Design is not very appealing to the eye. Bulky but light weight makes it easy to move .

    Comments about Sony 37" BRAVIA LCD Rear Projection HDTV:

    Great TV for a cabinet or entertainment center. Picture is bright and clear (once it warms up - takes about 45 seconds from the time you turn it on).

    After turning it off, the TV makes a few clicking noises for about a minute or two. Nothing too annoying, just an odd quirk.

    Sound is great, setup was a breeze and the on-screen menus are very simple and intuitive.

          Comments about Sony 37" BRAVIA LCD Rear Projection HDTV:

          If you can live without wall-mounting, this is a fantastic deal. Great picture for a native 720dpi: looks great in HD and doesn't suck on normal def. Better motion reproduction than any traditional LCD in this price range. Doesn't suffer from screen burn-in, and you'll only occasionally notice the screen-door phenomenon.

          The only real down-side is the slow start-up time. It takes about 15 seconds for the bulb to warm up before the set turns on. Shutting her down takes a bit of time too: you'll hear a small cooling fan run for about half a minute after you shut the screen off.

          I've had this set for about a month and a half, it's my first HD/flatscreen, and I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

              Great TV! I can find nothing to complain about. I needed a TV that would fit into an existing cabinet, and this is the only one I could find. The 12-13" depth was no problem since it was going into a cabinet. Picture is quite bright and well rendered. I'm completely satisfied
