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.
One thing I found interesting about this blog is how well Sony responded to the customers doubts. As you had mentioned, many people had doubts about how the new TVs can have such great HD when there is already a small amount of content that supports HD. Sony showed great display without getting worked up over the doubts, but instead Sony already had found ways to fix these problems. I think that what Sony did was outstanding because Sony had thought about the problems beforehand that could occur with HDs and found a way to fix that. Instead of just relying on the HD factor, Sony also added other features that would amaze the customers as well and get them thinking about purchasing a new TV. This also shows that Sony really cares about the customers and that they wanted to produce a product that had not been done yet. Great post!
ReplyDeleteAs an avid movie watcher and I also like to indulge in video gaming myself, after seeing the Sony Ultra HD TV, that really looks awesome. Although I don’t think that I can really afford a TV of that price. I liked how you described about what Sony did in listing all of the personal things that customers would want from a TV like a wireless subwoofer, and how the 4K Ultra has a media player to stream content like Netflix, and for video gamers connecting their controllers directly to the TVs. Having this list of items shown and made available to the public, and for Sony’s customers to be able to see the product is very helpful for not only the customers, but also for the company so that way when the company releases the product the customers know that it is for sale. I would love to be able to one day purchase such an item, just to be able watch cool, epic scale, action movies, and play amazing games on it, because I would want to see how the graphics would look like on it.
