  PhotoTV HD — a new dimension in viewing pleasure

Stunning resolution and detail, displayed right on your TV
For the ultimate experience in home viewing pleasure, the α700 can be connected directly to a Sony BRAVIA™ HDTV to enable 1920 x 1080 full-resolution PhotoTV HD display. With PhotoTV HD, you'll enjoy a totally new viewing experience, one that combines the transparent clarity, color fidelity, and rich contrast of slide film with the big-screen impact of a slide projector. From skin tones to waves on a beach, PhotoTV HD brings out radiant beauty in every detail, filling the room with luminous, high-resolution images that launch photography into a new dimension.
*Compatible Sony BRAVIA HDTV and HDMI cable (sold separately) required for PhotoTV HD viewing.
PhotoTV HD
PhotoTV HD takes advantage of Sony's high-level product integration to achieve a level of synergy not possible with conventional equipment. With its stunning image quality, it represents a whole new way of enjoying photography.
Direct HDMI connectivity for hassle-free image quality
A single HDMI cable is all you need to connect the α700 directly to a Sony BRAVIA HDTV. When the cable is connected, the BRAVIA automatically applies PhotoTV HD settings optimized for still image display, assuring fast screen response and superb image quality. And you can easily control image playback using the wireless Remote Commander included with the α700.

920,000-dot (approx.) resolution for ultra-sharp image display
On-the-spot image review is one of the fundamental benefits of digital photography, and the α700 maximizes that advantage with a big, new 3.0" Xtra Fine LCD. Boasting a pixel count approximately four times higher and contrast approximately 2.8 times higher than our previous 2.5" monitor, it has a screen display resolution of 270 ppi — higher even than the 200 ppi resolution that is generally acknowledged to be the upper limit of what the human eye can distinguish. Hybrid construction and AR (Anti-Reflective) coating assure that fine details are easy to see even when viewing the monitor outdoors.
Convenient new RGB histogram and index display options
The α700's new 3.0" Xtra Fine LCD also offers a range of new viewing and information display options. In addition to conventional histogram and flashing highlight/shadow warning displays, it offers an RGB histogram color balance checking. There's also a view that displays five preceding/following frames in addition to the current frame, greatly facilitating best-shot selection from a series of bracketed or sequential images. In index view, the monitor can be set to display 4, 9, or 25 frames according to preference.
