“You are blindingly beautiful” is normally a compliment, but a PC should never be “blindingly” anything. Most TV sets are permanently placed in a certain spot, but PCs are used in different lighting conditions—under fluorescent lights in the office, incandescent lights at home or even in bright sunlight.
So we tested VAIO under all conceivable lighting conditions to arrive at the best possible design for preventing glare on the screen. The result is an LCD screen that is relatively free from glare, high in contrast and beautifully clear in any light.
Viewing a PC screen is different from watching a TV, in terms of what is viewed, the distance between the viewer and the screen and the viewing mode. Users often stare at fine print on a PC screen from a distance of only 30 centimeters for long periods. Because of this, the high brightness often associated with a good picture is not desirable as it can burden your eyes, which can lead to added mental stress. So Sony developed a backlight that is not just bright but prevents uneven brightness across the entire screen, achieving the sort of ideal brightness that’s perfect for long hours of viewing.
PC users do not necessarily face the screen squarely. They may watch a DVD with family or even be lying down while looking at the screen. So we engineered the widest possible viewing angle without sacrificing any image display, anticipating every possible way the display is viewed. The result is “three beauties in one,” so to speak, combining high contrast, high brightness and a wide viewing angle.
We named this display “Clear Black LCD” for its clean, trim lines and pure black background. When using a PC, one mostly looks at the display. That’s why VAIO became the first brand to truly emphasize the beauty of its LCD screen. So remember that, while some really bright displays may stand out more at storefronts, VAIO displays are far superior in actual use.
