Manufacturer's Description

Smart, sleek and easy to use, the BRAVIA S5500 is HD Ready for brighter pictures and clearer details. It comes with an integrated digital tuner, so there’s no need for an extra set-top box to view Freeview TV and radio channels. HDMI™ inputs make it simple to connect and enjoy other HD sources like Playstation®3 and Blu-ray Disc™. Switch on the S5500 and see the difference, thanks to the BRAVIA Engine 2 processor, which delivers vivid colours and sharp edges, while Dynamic Contrast of up to 25,000:1 (8,000:1 on 22” and 26” models) gives every image incredible depth and detail.

With more pixels than traditional televisions, it displays high resolution images that are clearer and sharper than you could imagine. The versatile S5500 can display High Definition content in both 720p and 1080i formats and features HDMI™ connectivity. It also includes an analogue component video input, making it compatible with analogue HD sources.

BRAVIA ENGINE 2 - Every picture is put through a digital perfecting process

Superb TV performance from BRAVIA ENGINE 2
An LCD television creates pictures by switching millions of pixels on and off. In the S5500 this is driven by BRAVIA ENGINE 2, Sony’s fully digital video processor that uses a collection of unique technologies to produce clear, vibrant, lifelike images, regardless of their source. For example, it reproduces black just as it appears in the real world to depict objects with impressive depth and realism. BRAVIA ENGINE 2 technology also significantly reduces the visual noise that can lead to blurring.

A new sense of depth with Dynamic Contrast up to 25,000:1
To guarantee consistently amazing picture quality, Dynamic Contrast up to 25,000:1 (8,000:1 on 22” & 26” models) ensures all shades between the brightest white and the darkest blacks are maintained, giving the image so much depth and detail that you’ll be drawn into the screen. It works by increasing or reducing the backlight according to the brightness of the scene. The S5500’s unique dynamic contrast system features ACE (advanced contrast enhancer), which adjusts the backlight level to maintain every subtle shade of grey, a greater level of contrast and a sharper High Definition picture. You’ll really notice the difference in dark scenes, when it can reproduce true black without sacrificing brightness.
