Other than just a full 1080p set, it’s equipped with AD (Audio Description) system. AD is the system that makes use of voice to narrate the visual plot points during those gaps in dialog.

The new Sony Bravia line will include Integrated Digital Television, which comes with AD system without the need for additional decoder.
