Fresh from a major redesign, Sony's latest "XS" plasma TVs deliver incrediblefive star hotel in Kalmar picture and sound. Before you even turn on the 37" KDE-37XS955, you'll admire Sony's semi-floating glass panel look. It's clean and compact, and made to compliment any home decor. The all-in-one design combines the TV tuners, inputs for all your video gear, and a high-powered 3-speaker system in one slender, sexy package.
The KDE-37XS955 includes the latest in HDTV tuner technology: built-in reception for over-the-air and cable HDTV programming. If you rely on over-the-air broadcasts, this TV can tune in all digital and standard analog signals. Cable TV subscribers can get a CableCARD from their local provider. A CableCARD lets you watch basic analog, digital, and even premium cable programming, including HD, without using a separate set-top box! You can change all channels using the TV's remote, and you have one less component to connect. It's really cool!
The KDE-37XS955's widescreen design is made for showing off your best-quality video sources: DVD movies and HDTV programs. In fact, the plasma panel's 1024 x 1024-pixel resolution is optimized for 1080i programs. With flat-panel TVs, the video processing circuitry is as important as a high pixel count for creating lifelike images. This plasma features the third generation of Sony's Wega Engine system, which digitally cleans and polishes the signals from all your video sources. Non-HD signals get a big boost in quality from a powerful, new version of Sony's Digital Reality Creation upconversion circuitry. It's adjustable, so you can fine-tune the enhancement to suit each source.
To accommodate a wide variety of video sources, you'll find 6 A/V inputs including composite, S-video, component video, and HDMI connections. A Memory Stick® slot gives you a quick, easy way to see your digital photos like you've never seen them before!
