3D Support on the Sony XBR8

by Mark



I evaluated both TVs and noticed that the Sony picture had a 3D quality. The sales rep said that was because the XBR8 intensified the outline around people.

Is this true?

Not Exactly!

Neither Samsung A950 nor Sony XBR8 series do include a 3-D HD content support. In other words, one cannot use these LED LCD TVs to display 3-D games, movies, and other 3-D HD programming - which in addition to a suitable HDTV, requires also the use of a 3-D compatible LCD shutter glasses and relevant hardware.

The so-called '3D' features found on the Sony refers to [1] 3D-Comb filtering, and [2] the 3D graphics style menu used when setting up your Favorites and Photo-Slides show functions.

These are not 3-D HD content features as the sales-rep might have implied.


Note that 3D comb filtering or 3D Y/C - is used on many premium class HDTVs. This is the best type of comb filter available today and is used to separate the Y (luminance, or black and white levels) and C (chrominance, or color) elements in a composite video signal. It is called 3D because of the way it analyze the incoming signal in the separation of the Y and C components - namely apart from separating these signals, is also compares three consecutive horizontal scan lines within a single video frame, as well as analyzes each frame in advance, thus ensuring the best possible picture.
