kdl-55hx800 3D LED HDTV
Now that 3-Dimensional HDTV television has finally become
a reality, every one of the major television manufacturers are working overtime
to get their newest product lines in the hands of the TV
viewing public. There's an incredible group of new designs and technologies
that will no doubt impress even the most demanding of tv viewers. Sony's
very latest 3D technology will naturally be included in all
of its new BRAVIA KDL-55HX800
3D HDTVs. Built upon Sony's very latest 200Hz
high frame rate technology, which allows viewers to see 3D
in Full High Definition 1080p
fidelity, the High Definition 3D image is further enhanced
with the inclusion of 'High Speed Precision', 'LED
Boost' and '3D Up-conversion, three
technologies unique to Sony
and designed to make the 3D image even more clear and bright
and the 3D experience even more adventuresome.
Now you'll be able to experience all of the exciting, super-realistic 3D
movie action, all right from the comfort and convenience of your very own
home entertainment hub. From the moment you put on the 3D
active glasses until the closing movie credits, you're going to be transported
into the magical world of 3D without any restrictions on
your imagination. The most recent of Hollywood's blockbusters will look absolutely
amazing in Sony 3D, and the excitement doesn't even begin
to end there. The evolution of 3D has also reached the world
of HDTV, sports and video games. The availability of 3D Blu-ray
movies and 3D video game titles is rapidly increasing, and
ESPN has already committed to 3D
broadcasts of many upcoming major sporting events including the BCS
College Bowl Games and National Championship Event, Summer
X-treme Games and a long list of high profile pro and college
football and basketball games.
