Sony already jumped to number one in worldwide LCD sales in Q4 of last year, but they ain’t stopping there.  At CEDIA yesterday, Sony introduced the two bad-boys pictured above.  Both displays are 1080p Bravia LCD, with 1920 x 1080 pixels (making them 1080p) and HDMI inputs.  Since the blacks have never been the greatest on LCDs, Sony’s trying to improve that with their new Advanced Contrast Enhancer which they say brings the contrast ratio up to 7000:1.  I’m no monitor guuru, but I know that’s an outrageously hi ratio.  1000:1 is typically what people look for in a reasonably-priced decent display.

Sony also added a “wide color gamut cold cathode fluorescent lamp,“ which is a backlighting system along with a chroma signal processor so the color spectrum can keep up with your new 1080p.  The one on the left (KDL-52XBR2) will run you $6,800 and the right (KDL-52XBR3) prices in at $6,500.  Both displays will be available in November in time for the holiday season.
