Sony’s Crystal LED displays can provide nearly-unmatched contrast or brightness in massive sizes. Now Sony’s selling them for use as virtual set backgrounds, similar to screens used in production for ‘The Mandalorian.’

Its professional display arm unveiled two versions of the screens, a C- and B- series, that are turned for either 1,000,000:1 high contrast or high brightness, respectively. The 1,800 cd/m2-capable B-series was developed with Sony Pictures specifically for use as a studio backdrop without showing reflections, while the C-Series is more for installation in lobbies or showrooms. They use the same processing as Sony’s TVs, with the ability to handle HDR, 120 fps and 3D video sources.
There’s no word on pricing, but a massive 4K display Sony brought to CES to play PS4 games on in 2019 would’ve cost about $800k. Still, finding more uses for the technology, which uses ultrafine LED elements mounted to each color for practically unmatched contrast, could make it slightly more realistic for installation in a home theater setup.
