YOUR NEXT TV UPGRADE? SONY’S STUNNING NEW DISPLAY WITH RGB LED MAGIC

 

Wider color gamut and higher brightness enables richer color reproduction and subtle shading across its entire brightness range

Philippines - Sony announced today it has developed a new display system incorporating an independent drive RGB LED with a high-density LED backlight that can individually control three primary colours – R (red), G (green), and B (blue) [RGB], and suitable for large screens. This panel allows each RGB colour to emit light independently, resulting in high colour purity and the ability to reproduce images with a vibrant, wide colour gamut.

 Additionally, the display system is equipped with Sony's proprietary advanced backlight control technology, designed to maximize the panel's characteristics. This backlight control technology enables faithful reproduction of delicate hues and subtle gradations of light across every corner of the display, even on large screens. In cinematic works such as films, the ability to convey narrative expression relies significantly on the subtleties of color and black representation, as well as the gradation of light. This system enhances these elements to provide image quality that faithfully reflects the creator's intent and is suitable for both film production and home viewing as well. 

Sony has supported creators' activities for years through professional monitors used for color grading in video production and BRAVIA utilized as reference monitors. The display system has been developed leveraging unique experience and technical expertise gained from this. This system is to begin mass production in 2025, aiming to expand its integration into consumer televisions and displays for content creation.

EXPERIENCE THE NEW SONG TO HIT: IMAGO DROPS “GULONG-GULO

The alt-rock quartet Imago joins Sony Music Entertainment’s esteemed roster

Philippines – Filipino alt-rock band Imago has officially signed with Sony Music Entertainment, joining an impressive roster of local acts. The signing marks a significant milestone for the band, who are set to embark on an exciting new venture with the renowned global label.

Last January 31, 2025, Imago released their highly anticipated new single, "Gulong-Gulo," at the stroke of midnight to kick off their collaboration.

The dreamy track is a sonic exploration of love’s complexities, blending lush textures with crystalline guitar tones and subtle drumming. Lyrically, “Gulong-Gulo” explores the emotional tug-of-war in choosing to fight for a relationship rather than letting it fade instantly. The band admits, “It's more of a reflection of how a relationship can be. There will always be highs and lows, and it's about knowing that your relationship is bigger than the occasional fights, so you fix it.”

Produced by Raymund Marasigan and Buddy Zabala, the track also features an arrangement by Zabala, with contributions from Badjao de Castro of IV of Spades, who adds a fresh and distinct approach to drumming. The understated groove and remarkable sophistication in the rhythm section perfectly complement the band’s musical evolution, offering a richer listening experience for the streaming audience.
