Sony's 9.9mm thin BRAVIA KLV-40ZX1M heads to Canada
While Sony's 9.9-millimeter KLV-40ZX1M will probably look downright chubby after CES 2009, it's still a slim piece of work by most standards. The LED-backlit 1080p screen is just about set to make the trek north, with scheduled availability in Canada this week. Just as a refresher, the set boasts a single HDMI input, 120Hz Motionflow technology, compatibility with Sony's BRAVIA Wireless Link and an optional speaker bar. The HDTV will sell for a stiff $4,199.99, so we'd suggest heading to a nearby retailer to check it out real good before breaking open the piggy bank.
Sony's 240Hz KDL-52XBR7 / 9.9mm KLV-40ZX1M HDTVs hands-on
Sony already fessed up to the European versions of these sets last week at IFA, but we were able to wrap our eyes around the US versions here at CEDIA. Both sets were expectedly gorgeous, but the ultrathin KLV-40ZX1M (which is curiously slated to ship sans a TV tuner in the US, per a rep) really won over our hearts. Hit the gallery below and see if you're equally touched. %Gallery-31200%
Sony debuts 240Hz KDL-52XBR7 / 9.9mm KLV-40ZX1M LCD HDTVs for USers
Sony's thunder on these sets was already felt over in Berlin, but there's nothing quite like official verbiage saying that a 9.9-millimeter thick HDTV (and one with 240Hz technology) will be coming to the good 'ole US of A. Alongside Blu-ray HTIBs and a pricey new BD deck, Sony's also formally introducing the 52-inch BRAVIA KDL-52XBR7 and 40-inch BRAVIA KLV-40ZX1M here at CEDIA. The former features the eye-testing Motionflow 240Hz frame rate tech, which promises to deliver "exceptional motion detail in movies, sports and video games." It also boasts the outfit's BRAVIA Engine 2, an 80,000:1 contrast ratio and compatibility with BRAVIA Link expansion modules. As for Mr. Thin, it features a 1080p panel, an edge-lit wide color gamut LED backlight, a single HDMI input and support for Sony's BRAVIA Wireless Link. Both sets should ship in December for undisclosed prices, but you can read up on the full array of specifications just after the break.
