IFA 2008: Sony XEL-1 Motion Picture Processing
When a pixel is off it is truly black so there is no faint leakage from the backlight. The difference between black and pure white contrast ratio is huge as the contrast ratio is 1.000.000:1. The Sony XEL-1 is capable of nearly instant response in a few microseconds, over a 1000 times faster than LCD TVs.

So the motion reproduction is exceptionally smooth, with almost no image blurring. Working behind the scenes, the XEL-1 Fine Motion picture processing ensures that on-screen action looks as good as it possibly can. ‘Super Top Emission’ technology adds the final touch, decreasing reflected ambient light and boosting colour purity.
