Bit rate
Speed at which data is read or processed from the source to the destination.

Black Stripe Screen
Improves contrast on rear projection sets by reducing reflection by 50%.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth is the latest in low power radio technology to connect two electronic devices, without the need for cables. This can be achieved up to 10 metres apart without the need for those devices to be in line of sight, as they would have to be with infra-red.

Boot-up Speed
Time taken (in seconds) for a device to be ready after turning it on.

Brightness
Level of luminance, or quantity of light emitted from the image area, measured in ANSI lumens.

Built In Flash
A built-in flash enables you to use a camera in varying light conditions without the need of an external flash.

Built-in recharge function
Allows recharging of the batteries internally rather than needing to remove batteries and use a dedicated charger.
