7th Jan 2009 – Sony has announced a slew of new televisions at the CES show in Las Vegas, including a set of new TVs in their flagship XBR LCD lineup. They announced 18 televisions in total, but the flagship of the new products is the Bravia KDL-52XBR9, a 52-inch LCD TV that offers 240Hz motion processing, Full HD support and Live Color Creation, a new color processing system.
The new XBR models include the 52-inch KDL-52XBR9, the 46-inch 46XBR9 the 40-inch 40XBR9 and the 32-inch 32XBR9. All of these new models are FullHD models, with 1920 by 1080 panels and support for Yahoo Widgets, which allow small programs to be run on the display that can display information such as stock quote, Flickr photos and streaming videos. All also include 240Hz motion processing, and Sony's new Bravia 3 processing engine. These models are scheduled for spring availability.
Sony are also introducing 3 new models in their mid-range Z range; the 52-inch KDL-52Z5100, the 46-inch 46Z5100 and the 40-inch 40Z5100. All of these models are also Full HD models, and include 240Mhz motion compensation processing for smoother video, and support the Widgets that the XBR models support. These models are scheduled for release in the summer.
