More Sony Bravias coming our way

If the Sony's entry-level Bravia LCD TV didn't excite you, it's high time you check out the upcoming V and X series featuring a blend of sophisticated designs and enhanced specifications. That's in addition to a new one-chip processor, dubbed the Bravia Engine, deployed throughout its entire 2006 lineup.

The sleek V series differs from its predecessor with beefed-up dynamic contrast rated from 1,300 to 7,000:1. Matching the impressive five-fold improvement is a pair of HDMI terminals, compatible up to 1080i for lossless video transmission from HD players and settop boxes.

Up the performance scale are three models from its flagship X series. Available from 40- to 52-inch display sizes, the Bravias are future-proofed with a 1,920 x 1,080-pixel resolution panel complemented by 1080p input capability. This series also bests its V counterparts with dual HDMI terminals and three sets of component-video sockets.

The V and X series Bravias will be available in Singapore from September. Pricing of the models will be updated when further details are released by Sony's regional office.
