Key Technologies
16:9 Full HD 1080p Resolution Panel
16:9 Full HD 1080p resolution panel (1920x1080) accepts any
HDTV signal and renders it with optimum resolution.
Motionflow™ 120Hz technology
Motionflow™ 120Hz technology doubles the number of frames in
incoming video content by creating and inserting sixty entirely new frames between the existing sixty
frames in real time. In addition to creating new frames, Motionflow™ 120Hz technology also includes
an Image Blur Reduction algorithm, which reduces source image blur captured by the camera, as
well as a de-juddering circuit to help reduce jerking and stuttering during sweeping pans. The end
result is smoother, more fluid motion that delivers a natural and realistic viewing experience.
BRAVIA Engine™
BRAVIA Engine™ fully digital video processor uses a collection of unique Sony®
algorithms to significantly reduce noise, enhance overall image detail, and optimize contrast so
every scene produces sharp, vibrant, life-like images.
Advanced Contrast Enhancer circuit (ACE)
Advanced Contrast Enhancer circuit (ACE)
dynamically improves contrast, resulting in deep blacks in darker scenes without losing fine details in
shadows and other dark areas of the picture.
Dynamic Video Noise Reduction
Dynamic Video Noise Reduction adaptive technology analyzes
the motion, sharpness, and brightness of each scene in real time to identify various types of noise
and reduce unwanted artifacts without compromising the video signal.
24p True Cinema™ capable
24p True Cinema™ mode enables you to enjoy films at their
intended 24 fps (frames per second) when viewed using a 24p capable output device, such as a
Blu-ray Disc™ player.
DLNA® compliant
DLNA® (Digital Living Network Alliance) compliance allows BRAVIA® VL160-Series
HDTVs to access digital photos from DLNA-enabled PCs and other devices2.
10-bit processor / 10-bit panel
10-bit processor and 10-bit panel combine to create 64 times the
levels of expression versus 8-bit panels, resulting in smoother transitions from color to color and
faithful reproduction of subtle color changes.
