Sony’s 4K Ultra HD TVs

          Last Thursday Sony released a ton of new information about their new Bravia 4K Ultra HD TVs. Before this announcement many people were greatly doubting this new technology due to the fact that there is an extremely small amount of content out there that can be played in such a high definition. Thanks to Sony’s announcement, this level of doubt has gone down by a great amount. In select models, the TV can actually upscale the definition to the new 4K Ultra HD, regardless of its original definition. Their new series of TVs have also been optimized to display content from Netflix, a service called Video Unlimited 4K, as well as others.
          Sony will have nine different models of the TV in three series that will be released in 2014, and the first ones will hit stores this June. These new models will have a range of new improvements, including picture and sound-quality enhancements, wide color spectrum which gives the picture a more life-like feel to it, better depth as well as more accurate shading. These new Ultra HD TVs will have a high peak brightness and deeper blacks, which will really bring out the visual-quality.
          If you’re a gamer, then you will love this next feature! These new TVs are synced with PlayStation, and enable you to stream your PS3 games to the TV without having a PS3 hooked up to the TV!
          I bet many people are wondering what price these amazing TVs are going to cost, and I bet you will be surprised! The cheapest one they offer is the 49-inch XBR-X850B series, which will run you $2,099. But if you only get the best that there is, and you have money that is dying to be spent, then you should look into their XBR-X950B LED LCD 85-inch TV. This monster of a TV will be purchasable at the extremely low price of only $24,999. And yes, that TV is more expensive than a 2013 Chevy Camaro…

I will be anxiously waiting to hear more new information about these Ultra HD TVs as they come out.
