  Sexy New Plug and Play TVs Coming Soon

By Mike Wheeler | Friday | 15/08/2008

Sony is set to launch a sexy new range of Bravia TVs that allow users to easily plug in sound, PC and automation systems. Using the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) standard, the TVs will easily connect with wireless and Ethernet networks.

A DLNA TV allows consumers to communicate with devices regardless of who made them. It also eliminates frustrating software or compatibility issues.

The new Sony models are expected in Australia later this year. Among the models\revealed in the USA are the X4500 and W4500 ranges.

The X4500 range will be available in 40-inch, 46-inch and 55-inch screens, while the W4500 is available in 40-inch, 42-inch and 46-inch screens.

The X4500 offers Full HD 1080p imaging, 4x HDMI ports, and what the company claims is a new, unique floating design. It utilises Sony's new Bravia Engine 2 PRO, which filters and cleans images before they are displayed. This reduces picture noise and widens colour range and smoothes motion. This system also boosts contrast. Other features include 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, four HDMI ports and a USB port.

If users don't want HD, they can utilise Digital Reality Creation 3.0, which will unconvert the screen and take it back to a non-HD format. The X4500 comes for speakers, two woofers on both the 46-inch and 55-inch sets.
The W4500 series uses the Bravia Engine 2 imaging processing, and Motionflow 100Hz tech, which is designed to keep images crisp. It has a 50,000:1 contrast ratio and three HDMI ports.

RRP
TBC
