Bravia Overload: Sony to launch new line of LCDs

Derek — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 18:12:45 +0000

Sony has been pretty active the last few weeks with developments, and now Sony is announcing a large new line of HDTV Bravia TVs of the LCD ilk, with all shapes and sizes entering the fray, including smaller sizes and (gulp) exterior colors.

Low end is the EX300, with 22, 26, and 32-inchers models with 1,366 x 768 reses, and are available in white, pink, brown, and black. Announced price ranges (in Japan first, mind you) will be ¥70,000 – ¥90,000 ($770 – $990 USD), which fits in with their typical price points.

The EX500 is the middle ground, and will sport a ¥130,000 ($1,400 USD) price tag, and will be a 40″, 120Hz, 1080p model, while the bigger and fancier EX700 units range from 32 to 52 big-time inches and will cost you between ¥120,000 ($1,300 USD) and a rather swollen ¥300,000 ($3,300 USD). These models do give you extra goodies like LED backlighting, thinness (an ultra-slim 22mm), and network features, which means YouTube streaming, plus widgets too.

These are expected to splash down in Japanese waters around February 25, and across the pond eventually as well. You know you want a pink one, admit it.

BRAVIA HDTV Update: Sony gets Netflix streaming

Derek — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:52:51 +0000

Own a fancy Sony BRAVIA HDTV, but still don’t have Netflix streaming on it? Well, the wait is over according to a number of sources, as Netflix streaming has now been released for the Sony line of HDTVs.

The net-connected Sony Bravia finally got the much-awaited upgrade via the latest software update. Bear in mind this was promised back in July, so many owners of these models are probably (rightfully) pretty peeved at a 4 month delay, but as the old saying goes, better late than never.

The PS3 still requires a special CD to be sent from Netflix to update those machines to use the streaming feature, which seems a little unfair to some, but again, better to have the ability than not.

The Future is Here: Sony releases its internet-connected Z550 line

Derek — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:06:44 +0000

Sony is doing some things right these days: It recently announced its net-smart BRAVIA W-Series, and now has a new jewel in their crown: The Z550 line of TVs.

Coming in 40, 46 and 52 inch variations, these fine sets have their newest fancy Motionflow 200Hz technology for ultra-smooth action scenes, their BRAVIA Engine 3, a full HD 1080p panel, an integrated MPEG-4/AVC HD tuner, a power-sipping ‘Energy Saving Switch’ built in and their much-touted AppliCast.

This allows your Sony to connect to a wide variety of internet services, RSS feeds, and other fun net stuff through your TV’s Ethernet connection. Pretty awesome, to say the least. The future we’ve been talking about all this time is finally here.

No word from Sony about pricing or availability in the US, but we’ll keep an eye out for you.

New product info: Sony BRAVIA 46″ to be released soon

Derek — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 21:06:30 +0000

Sony informed most of the press not to expect their very newest BRAVIA series HDTVs until later this Spring… but apparently the 46-inch KDL-46V5100 is ready to be sent off into your local electronics store very shortly. The earlier availability wasn’t expected, but is quite welcome for Sony lovers.

The fairly light (52.6 pounds) set includes their celebrated 1080p panel, their newest 120Hz Motionflow technology that promises to remove almost all stutter and jittering in high-action sequences, stereo speakers, the newest BRAVIA Engine 2 and a digital tuner that covers all the types pretty much (NTSC, ATSC, ClearQAM, etc).

MSRP is $1,899.99 (which is very competitive with their models from last year without the 120Hz feature!), and they should be avilable for people to buy on the site in early March or so.
