The new Sony Bravia X-series, really 1080P? - Blu-ray Forum

mainman · 05-24-2006, 11:10 AM

Does the new Sony Bravia X-series 1080P tv's use the wobulation technique?
Does it actually have 2 million plus pixels, natively?
Is it acually full 1080 P, without bullsh*t?

Thanks

Wobulation is only in DLP sets. The Bravia is LCD so you're talking about full pixels here.

did they say what size's theyre launching the X-Series in?

The X-Series in Japan (40" and 46") launched in November, 2005. Based on the specs on the Sony Japan site, it is only 1080i.

Since there wasn't much sign of it coming to the US anytime soon, I ended up getting the 40" V Series instead. For me, it wasn't a 720p vs. 1080i decision. The 46" option for the 1080i is what I was interested in.

Honestly, I have not looked around since, so I could be wrong about the US one, if they did announce it.

What's BS about wobulation? You're still getting true 1080P on the screen.

I heard that there are certain patterns that the wobulation cannot recreate - can anyone confirm this as fact?

Of course it may be only pertinent to people who like to watch patterns ... though it could also affect the rendering of details like fabric in real video....

Can someone explain exactly what "wobulation" is?

I've seen an effect on DLP 1080p sets that's somewhat similar to that of interlacing. While interlacing creates the appearance of everyother scan line being black while following motion up or down the screen, this appears as ever other pixel being black in a checkerboard pattern, and is visible with movement in various directions. Is this what "wobulation" is, or is it an effect of "wobulation"?

I have seen this same effect on a direct view LCD 1080p set from Westinghouse.

Sounds as if wobulation could be the culprit for the effects I'm seeing.
