Apart from smartphones that want to get thinner and thinner, the TV
segment too, has gone through a slimming session that would help shave a
few more square inches off your TV rack, making quite a difference if
you so happy to live in an already cramped apartment or flat. Sony has
made quite the splash with its Sony XBR X900C 4K Ultra HD TV range,
arriving in the first quarter of this year in three sizes – 55”, 65” and
75”. Being the thinnest LED TV from Sony to date, it measures a mere
0.2” at its thinnest part for the 55″ and 65″ class models, while
sporting a design that looks as though it is floating on thin air thanks
to its extremely thin bezels that are close to non-existent.
Not only that, Sony has thrown in a new
4K Processor X1 which will hopefully improve colour accuracy, contrast
and clarity of HD and 4K video. To make sure that this is no passive
idiot box, Sony will also offer support for Google’s Android TV
operating system, making it a snap to stream video, or have it double up
as a gaming device and provide enhanced features like voice-enabled
searching through a remote equipped with a microphone. The TRILUMINOS
display would be able to deliver enhanced colour accuracy, while
powerful front-facing speakers (tweeters, woofers, and sub-woofers)
ensure that your ears are treated to clear dialog and deep bass all the
time.
There is also the integrated Google Cast feature which would allow
users to enjoy seamless smartphone or tablet integration., while the
entire setup is ready for the latest 4K new spec “HEVC” and “VP9″ which
will be able to receive 4K distribution services and YouTube in 4K
goodness, now how about that? Out later this spring, you might want to
start saving up from now onward. All in all, the Sony XBR range does look as though it is growing from strength to strength each year.
