New Bravia W undergoes refreshing facelift

Philip Wong | Feb 12, 2008

Sony has just fired its first salvo for the new year with a spanking new Bravia W-series. These full-HD LCD TVs are shipped in 32- to 52-inch screen sizes and sport a unique "Draw the Line" design. This latest styling concept is centered on a section of semi-translucent bezel and a thin panel frame dressed in shimmering midnight blue finish. We have also confirmed that this is the only hue available, a rather strange approach considering its ongoing multicolor proposition for its existing Bravia TVs.

Also new on the plate is an improved Bravia Engine 2 video processor and Digital Media Port (DMP) support. While there is limited information on enhancements for its proprietary picture-processing engine, the latter does open up a slew of new connectivity options. These include DMP bases for its Walkman MP3 players, Bluetooth-enabled Sony Ericsson mobiles and Apple iPods. With these addons, you could easily manage and playback multimedia clips on-the-fly right on the big-screen Bravia via the bundled remote controller.

The Bravia KLV-32W400A, KLV-40W400A, KLV-46W400A and KLV-52W400A will be available throughout Asia Pacific from March. Further details such as detailed pricing were not ready at press time. Check more information here.
