Similar to CRT rear projection TVs, the Grand WEGA TV's image is projected by a lamp, using LCD chips instead of tubes. This technology offers a sharper, brighter and higher resolution image than previous big screen TVs. Thanks to the revolutionary optical engine, Grand WEGA is much slimmer and lighter than conventional projection sets. While ideal for home theatre and sports viewing, Grand WEGA televisions are also the perfect solution for daytime TV. The natural, bright picture looks marvelous under the most varied lighting conditions. Even in a brightly lit room, Grand WEGA LCD Rear Projection Televisions deliver a clear picture, letting you enjoy television and a book in the same room. With Sony's three-chip LCD technology, each 0.87" chip delivers 1,049,088 pixels of resolution. That's a total of 3.1 million dot pixels, delivering incredibly fine detail and clarity. One LCD chip is dedicated to each of the three primary colours (red, green and blue), eliminating colour separation, flicker, ghosting and convergence.

The enhanced 16:9 Widescreen Display Mode is essential for enjoying DVD movies and high-definition television, offering a wider scope of the action. 4:3 Standard Display Mode presents traditional content and full-screen video in the original format with the same high quality. WEGA Engine, Sony’s unique advantage, is a key driving force behind the superior picture quality of Grand WEGA. Based on Sony's expertise in digital signal processing, WEGA Engine processes all video signals in the digital domain, repeatedly making Grand WEGA Canada’s TV of choice. Grand WEGA’s Cinema Black Pro technology greatly improves image quality and contrast levels by simultaneously controlling the lamp (low, high) and iris (off, 1, 2) for the optimal picture performance of any screen size in any room environment. This feature enables the iris shutter off (open) for high brightness or on (closed) for low brightness and greater contrast.
