Similar to CRT rear projection TVs that everyone is familiar with, the Grand WEGA TV's image is projected by a lamp but instead of using tubes, it uses LCD chips. This means that the images are sharper, brighter and higher resolution than previous big screen TVs. And, thanks to the revolutionary optical engine, Grand WEGA is much slimmer and lighter than conventional projection sets. |

When it comes to high definition television viewing, you need a TV that takes full advantage of the high quality video content that is available today. To do that, you need as many pixels of resolution as you can get. With Sony's three-chip LCD technology, each 0.87" LCD chip delivers 1,092,168 pixels of resolution. That's a total of 3.28 million pixels that deliver an image with incredibly fine detail and clarity. Compare this to the one-chip alternatives that are out there. As Sony's 3-chip LCD technology dedicates an LCD chip to each of the three primary colours (red, green and blue), concern over colour separation, flicker, ghosting and convergence is eliminated. While Grand WEGA TVs 42" and 50" screens are spectacular, Sony's high-resolution 3-chip LCD advantage is especially evident in the impressive 60" and 70" screen size models.

The WEGA Engine is a unique Sony advantage that is a key driving force behind the superior picture quality of the Grand WEGA television. Based on Sony's expertise in digital signal processing, the WEGA Engine processes all video signals in the digital domain. By completing all video processing digitally, there is no need to repeatedly convert back and forth between an analog and digital signal. This serves to eliminate any degradation in the video signal and unwanted video noise generation.
The WEGA engine components are designed to optimize picture quality, regardless of the video source, allow for TwinView picture and picture viewing of both a standard and high resolution NTSC signal simultaneously, while at the same time optimizing picture quality, sharpness and resolution. WEGA engine is a key component within the Sony design that has repeatedly made the Grand WEGA television Canada's TV of choice.
