The KDL-52W3000's BRAVIA Theatre Sync system allows you to push one button to integrate the HDTV with compatible components hooked up via one of the KDL-52W3000's HDMI connections.

The KDL-52W3000's 10-bit panel outputs 64 x the color expression that 8-bit LCD panels deliver, offering a photo-realistic image that sets a new standard for realistic, accurate colors.

Another big plus for the KDL-52W3000 is its inclusion of 24p True Cinema, which allows 24 frames per second input from devices like compatible Blu-Ray high-def disc players. Many movies are filmed at 24 frames per second, so allowing this standard on the KDL-52W3000's big screen allows you to watch your favorite films with the fluidity of movement that's intended.

A comparison of the KDL-52W3000 vs. leading sets from Samsung, Sharp, Toshiba and the other manufacturers makes it clear that Sony has earned its stellar reviews by continuously raising the bar for an increasingly competitive LCD HDTV market.
