QUOTE(uzary @ Jul 2 2013, 02:08 PM) i tried to understand more about triluminos so do a little research bout it. so what i understand so far was that this triluminos is a technology that enables LCD TFT displays to show a wider range of colors, and thus to display images that are richer and more vivid. So i was wondering since triluminos is a technology and the screen use it still a lcd tft, which is the same as in xperia z, is it possible that this technology can be put into xperia z via firmware update? The TFT displays on the Xperia Z, ZL, and other older devices from Sony have been criticized for their washed out colors and poor viewing angle. see the comparison photo below,  and another thing, the x-reality engine, is an image processing technology that enhances the images and videos displayed on the Xperia Z Ultra. It makes pictures look sharper, reduces noise, improves contrast, and fine tunes saturation.. those who already try the honami mod, and installed the x-reality engine, did u c any significant improvement over the current BraviaEngine2? From what I know, TFT is the basis for LCD tech, an IPS display is a variant of TFT LCD. So far Sony did not use IPS type screen thus resulting in poor visibility. The ZU however look like using an IPS TFT screen. Triluminos display from what I understand is where they change the normal white LCD backlight to help the LED display to show more colour. So most likely it hardware related. But the X-Reality is a software which could be/ Has been ported to other devices |

QUOTE(ckchan @ Jul 2 2013, 03:26 PM) well, if the triluminous technology and x-reality engine is purely software based, then yes, it is possible. but then in the end, still based on whether sony wants to bring over these updates to older phone model. Like i am using Acso S with Bravia engine 1. the recent JB update we receive did not receive the update for Bravia engine2, and also did not receive the batt stamina mode... triluminos is hardware type ... something related to led backlight .. QUOTE 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. QUOTE XBR8 (2008) - a 120 hertz model featuring the Triluminos LED backlighting and floating customizable side speakers. both from wiki |

Yup..Sony is weird. In the latest JB update for Xperia S, Extended Standby Mode was included instead of stamina mode. This Extended Standby mode was given to the Xperia P (2012 midrange) in their ICS update whereby Xperia S (flagship 2012) did not get it then, and only received it in the latest JB update. Now in JB, Whenever, the battery is low, it will prompt with a message to activate Stamina mode, BUT, stamina mode is nowhere to be found  No Bravia 2 as well.  When it comes to Sony's firmware update, can rant on forever. lol. This post has been edited by lerijiso: Jul 3 2013, 03:13 PM |

Xperia S do get a new camera module in JB, V too did not get stamina mode but extended standby, but mobile bravia engine 2 remains, somehow I think T/Tx is still with bravia engine 1. The 2011 lines even being updated to ICS never get the New Sony apps. Well a lot of Sony app and changes can be install without rooting, and almost all can be ported. From what I see there's a slight reliability as the apps are not optimized, given that they themselves are late in updating their phone, they could not be bother and just give a barebones upgrades. |
