Sony Corp. has launched a new range of Bravia LCD TVs. The new Sony Bravia line of television includes 15 new models from the X, W and V series - starting at 40-inch - plus three models of the small new J3000 series.
To round it up, they also presented their new Bravia Link, their technology to control all things Sony from one remote. Sony's top-end model will have a 70-inch screen. It is all set to become the largest flat television commercially available.
Sony’s new Bravia XBR is a massive 70 inches of pure LCD madness. With a super high def resolution of 1,920 pixels by 1080 pixels, not only is the XBR absolutely gigantic, but as high definition as you can get right now. The Bravia Engine Pro engine, which takes non-HD programs and converts them to a higher quality picture, will also be included. Not only Blu-Ray and HD-DVD systems but DVD players also will look just as fantastic.
With the XBR’s 178 degree viewing angle, reflections and darkness won’t ruin the LCD for large groups. There’s xvYCC color capability (Sony calls this “x.v.Color technology,”) which is supposed to the gamut of colors by 1.8x over the today’s color standards. The XBR3 also features 120 Hz refresh rate (aka “Motionflow”) with motion compensation, which should significantly reduce or eliminate motion blur and other unpleasant artifacts. The display panel is 10-bit 1080p native, and illuminated by LED backlighting.
The set also features a 178-degree viewing angle and Sony’s Digital Reality Creation v2.5 circuitry. Contrast ratio is rated at 7000 to 1, which is very good for an LCD (although Samsung is working on an LCD with a 50,000 to 1 contrast ratio). The Bravia range of flat-screen TVs will be embedded with advanced technology that eliminates fuzziness.
According to Sony, the retail prices of its soon-to-be-released Bravia line-up will range of $ 2,360 for the lowest 40-inch model to $35,000 for the top-end 70-inch flat-screen television.
Sony plans to sell 10 million Bravia LCD TVs from now until March 2008.
