XBR8 is a series of Sony BRAVIA LCD high definition televisions. They were released into the US marketplace starting in September 2008.
The 46- and 55-inch models of the XBR8 series features an RGB LED backlight system which Sony calls Triluminos. The new backlight system is claimed to provide a truer and higher color spectrum and allows this series of televisions to rival plasma displays in terms of dark blacks. This model also marked the debut of Sony's new video processor, the BRAVIA Engine 2 Pro. The display panel uses ten-bit processing and offers the 120 Hz MotionFlow technology.
The XBR8 line offers two screen sizes; the 46" (KDL-46XBR8)[1] was released on September 29, 2008. The second model, the 55" (KDL-55XBR8)[2] became available for order in October.
