They never used halogen backlights. It was CCFL. (Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamp).

I'm guessing you've read too many blogs, and not actually seen a 50/60Hz next to a 100/120Hz or 200/240Hz Bravia. I work in a Sony Center in England (hence, we have 50/100/200Hz, not 60/120/240Hz) so I can judge all of the different models side by side for 8 hours a day, and 100 without a doubt looks better than 50, but 200 is to be fair not much of an improvement. Certainly they don't degrade the quality unless you set the motionflow to 'High' when it can look a bit fake. Set it to 'Standard' and it looks awesome.

Sony already used LED Side-backlighting, and was the first manufacturer to do so (YES, BEFORE SAMSUNG!)... The KDL-ZX1 was released about a year ago and is only 9.9mm thick.

The Triluminous backlight is in the X-series, NOT the ZX-series. This new ZX5 is simply a replacement for the ZX1.

Sony will release a new X-series, with the same (or maybe even improved) Triluminous backlight, but is obviously not ready to release it yet.

The ZX series is designed to be thin, the X series is designed to have a superior picture, you can't have both... Until OLED that is!

I'm pretty confident this wont replace the triluminous local dimming technology currently used in the X-series (the KDL-**X4500-in the UK or the KDL-**XBR8 in the US).

This TV will just replace the current edge-lit "KDL-40ZX1 (UK&US)" which is currently only available in 40", 120Hz (100Hz in UK) and can only stream 1080i wirelessly, but is only 9.9mm thick.

I'm sure if you hold tight, sony will release a new X-series with the same Triluminous, local dimming technology soon. In the UK, all of the new range ends with "5500", whilst the X-series still has the old suffix of "4500"... so if it follows suit, I'm sure we'll see a KDL-**X5500 pretty soon!

How about the ability to rename a large number of selected files in one go... like in windows when you can select a group of photos, name the first one "Paris" and windows will name the rest "Paris (0)"... "Paris (1)"... "Paris (2)" Etc.

If there is a way of doing it (aside from using 'name mangler') please someone tell me!

He's blind you tit.

Yeah, aluminum isn't good for wifi reception, but the antenna on the MBP is under a rubbery-plastic strip on the hinge (between the keyboard and the screen) so it's not completely shrouded in aluminum... I haven't had any major issues with mine, but it's range isn't quite as good as my mates plastic HP laptop.

Is that really an OLED display - It looks like it has a backlight? OLED displays don't use backlights!?

As a professional dancer, i would have thought you are probably quite agile, and light on your feet, therefore not very good for generating power... more likely to be enslaved are people who dance like they're wearing concrete shoes whilst having a seizure... like, for instance, me.

Agreed! Engadget, this is getting embarrassing! Anyone who hasn't seen Engadget before would think it was a tribute website to the fricking iPhone 3G.

I'm sure you've already done your 'iPhone Round-Up' .... shouldn't you be moving on by now?!
