Product description
Sony Bravia XBR 52" LCD HDTV
52" BRAVIA XBR series
1080p resolution
When it comes to high-definition TV, the pinnacle of performance is achieved by using 1920 x 1080 resolution. BRAVIA XBR televisions have a total of 2,073,600 pixels to create a native 1080p resolution, perfect for reproducing content from 1080p HD sources such as Blu-ray Disc™.
7000:1 contrast ratio
Sony uses a dynamic backlighting system called ACE (Advanced Contrast Enhancement) on BRAVIA TVs. ACE automatically senses the average picture level of the video signal and adjusts the intensity of the backlight for improved contrast.
High viewing angle
The 178° viewing angle allows for easy clear viewing from virtually anywhere in the room.

52" BRAVIA XBR series LCD Flat Panel HDTV KDL-52XBR5 LCD TVs are equipped with a comprehensive range of input interfaces. HDMI technology supports enhanced or High Definition video, together with multi-channel digital audio to provide matchless image and sound reproduction.

BRAVIA Engine™ PRO full digital video processor
Sony improved on the great benefits of the BRAVIA Engine by adding a picture quality enhancement circuit called Digital Reality Creation Multi-function v2.5. DRC-MFv2.5 now has the added ability to process interlaced and progressive video signals, and because it has twice the processing power of previous DRC-MF circuits, it can do its processing and output them to 1080p. (Native 1080p input signals are not processed through DRC-MFv2.5.) Add to this the crisp details, outstanding contrast, eye popping colors and dramatically reduced digital artifacts that DRC-MF circuitry is known for. And the best part of all is that DRC-MFv2.5 is user adjustable according to the video source.
Built-in HD tuner
Experience the breathtaking clarity of big screen HDTV broadcasts with the integrated ATSC tuner. Simply add an HD antenna and you're ready to enjoy over-the-air HD programs.
Improved picture
The unique WEGA Engine system converts all signals to digital format for improved resolution, color and contrast. Digital Reality Creation™ circuitry upgrades even standard NTSC signals to near-HD quality, and the DRC palette lets you select both detail and clarity levels for a perfect picture every time. 3LCD technology delivers enhanced brightness, more intense colors and high detail for crystal-clear HD images.
