Sony Expands Flat-Panel TV Line

From the press release:

The new KLV-S23A10 (23-inch) and KLV-S19A10 (19-inch) models signal the company’s growing emphasis on LCD-based flat-panel TVs. They join a flat-panel lineup that also includes the recently announced, top of the line QUALIA 005 model.

The QUALIA 005 is a LCD flat-panel television equipped with a Triluminos LED backlight system.  To compliment this new panel technology, the QUALIA 005 features Sony’s exclusive WEGA Engine HD system which can project real texture and true high-resolution quality of a High Definition (HD) signal. Using Sony’s proprietary HD-to-HD conversion algorithm, it re-creates standard and HDTV signals to the full HD (1920 x 1080) quality and widens the color gamut to maximize the advantage of Triluminos LED backlight system.  Together with a 100W S-Master full digital audio amplifier, the QUALIA 005 offers an incredible video and audio experience.  

With Sony’s two latest  high-definition LCD model introductions on top of both the QUALIA and six Sony LCD models currently available, the company is “clearly demonstrating the rapidly increasing demand for flat-panel televisions in screen sizes that are both big and small,” said Greg Gudorf, vice president of TV marketing for Sony Electronics. “These new models are just the start of a major LCD product expansion.”

Sony WEGA KLV-S19A10

The new KLV-S23A10 (23-inch) and KLV-S19A10 (19-inch) LCD televisions each feature a HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connection, allowing the transfer of uncompressed digital signals to provide the best possible picture. These sets incorporate a high-performance, 1-chip video processor which integrates a 3D comb filter with a motion adaptive IP converter, improving picture contrast and detail while reducing video noise and image blur during fast action scenes.

Additional features included are the CineMotion® reverse 3:2 pulldown circuitry to provide a consistently smooth image and a Dynamic Picture
