According to Engadget, Sony is prepping new LCD TVs and projectors which will be available to the open market later this year.
On the projector front, two new front projector models, the VPL-AW10 and the VPL-AW15 will feature 6000:1 and 12000:1 contrast ratios, 1300 lumens of brightness, and 1080/24p input via HDMI. Perfect for any home theatre.
On the LCD front, there are 5 new models in the works:
KDL-40D3000U (40-inch)
KDL-40S3000U (40-inch)
KDL-32D3000U (32-inch)
KDL-32S3000U (32-inch)
KDL-26S3000U (26-inch)
All of the listed televisions above will support high-definition 720p playback, and include Bravia Theatre Sync for sending remote control data, three HDMI inputs, and integrated tuners.
These updates are much needed for Sony as Samsung recently announced their new range of LCDs which are now available. In my view, Sony and Samsung both lead the race in LCD TVs, I expect to see this trend keep up over the next few years.
Hi!! I was wondering…does Sony still produce plasma TVs? I had the impression they now focus entirely on LCD TV manufacturing…..
Hello! You are correct, Sony stopped selling Plasma TVs as of December 2004.
