Sony lit up the AV world and redefined microdisplay RPTV performance with its first generation of SXRD sets. These three-chip, full 1080p sets featured a dynamic iris for blacks and contrast that were good enough to finally bury the "yeah, but it's no CRT" comments for good. The new sets feature the latest generation SXRD chips, and of course an XBR model is fully loaded with the very latest and greatest refinements in video processing from Sony.
