Sony's colorful M1-series Bravia LCDs

Rounding out this morning's new Bravias is the diminutive M1 series. The 20-inch ¥110,000 ( $1,020) and 16-inch ¥90,000 ($835) LCDs match 1366x768 screens with 1,200:1 or 1,800:1 (respectively) contrast ratios, Bravia Engine 2 image processing, 24p True Cinema 1080p-compatible HDMI inputs, plus VOD and DLNA connectivity. Coming in various combinations of bezel colors, expect these HDTVs in the background of your favorite J-pop vids beginning March 25. Still waiting for price/date info on the U.S. Bravia's Sony announced at CES? So are we.

Wow, how much does that look like the old Apple Studio Displays?

Ah yes, the inevitable "Apple rip-off" post that accompanies every single Sony article and most of all the others too.

kinda ugly

Do they do Blueberry as well as Tangerine? How about Flower Power and Blue Dalmation?

Besides the fact that it's ugly as junk, (and this might be a dumb question) but why would it matter that is supports 1080p input if it's display doesn't even support that resolution?

That reminds me of my Walkman tape player.

LOL. One TV Per Child.......What it looks like...

There well speced actually. Brilliant contrast ratio, 2x HDMI and version 2 of the BRAVIA engine for color like no other. 720p is fine, because at this size I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p.

Not everyone wants/needs a huge telly. Most of the 20" models from other manufacturers have substandard feature sets.
