Sony India has expanded its Bravia lineup with a 65-incher – HX925 LED TV. It is the biggest LED TV by Sony in its Bravia lineup that promises to give the best picture quality thanks to the X-Reality PRO Engine, Intelligent Peak LED and Motionflow technology. X-Reality PRO analyses each scene pixel-by-pixel and optimizes the picture quality whereas LED backlight technology results in improved contrast and less power consumption. Motionflow boosts the frame rate by up to 4 times so a user enjoys smoother and clearer images.

Boasting full HD video playback and 3D support, the TV supports internet connectivity and online services like YouTube, Sony, Star TV, BIGFlix etc.

The HX925 comes in the same attractive monolithic design.

Sony is currently selling the TV for Rs. 3,59,900 and bundles a Skype camera and two pairs of active shutter 3D glasses along with it.

Nothing’s going right for the Japanese company in the past few days. Now Sony has announced to recall a whopping 1.6 million Bravia TVs that were sold from 2007. According to Sony, the LCDs that were sold during this period had a faulty component that could cause to overheat, melt and even catch fire.

Affected models KDL-40X5000/40X5050/40W5000/40V5000/40V3000 were sold in Japan, China, America, Middle East and Europe and will be repaired if found faulty.

Sony has announced three new Bravia LCD TV series in India. The TVs go for the value-for-money seeking customers to deeply pocketed ones. The BX Series or Basic Series tries to provide basic LCD functionalities at a decent price. The sets are powered by Bravia Engine 3 that produce vivid images and feature live color reproduction, built-in FM Radio, USB and HDMI port, Signal Booster and more. All the television sets are HD ready except for the top-end BX model that supports full HD resolution. The BX Series TVs start from 22-inches and go till 40-inches with price ranging from Rs. 16,900 to Rs. 61,900.

The Bravia Essential EX Series boasts eco-friendliness. The TVs from this range come with features like ambient light sensor, LED backlight and Presence sensor that turns off the TV if it does not find anyone within a distance of 6m.

TVs from this range feature Bravia Engine 3 imaging processor, full HD resolution support, 100Hz Motionflow refresh rate, USB and even supports on-demand Internet that can be accessed via an optional USB Wi-Fi adapter. EX Series has models from 22-inches to 52-inches and price starts from Rs. 17,900 and goes up to Rs. 1,99,900.

The Bravia NX Series or New Experience Series comes with both – beauty and brains. It comes in an exquisite monolithic brushed aluminum, flushed bezel design and integrates a Wi-Fi module that allows users to access online multimedia content from various sites. Additionally, the TVs support full HD resolution, Bravia Engine 3, Motionflow up to 200Hz and internet widgets support. It starts from 32- to 60-inches with price starting from Rs. 45,900 to 3,49,900.

There is really no reason for you to crash a PS3 into an LCD unless you have a point to prove. In this case, the point for Sony Australia was to promote their latest Christmas campaign wherein a Bravia LCD buyer would get a PS3 thrown in for free, which they did it literally. Three Bravia KDL46X 3100 Full HD LCD TV were shot with PS3 Slim at a speed of 50mph (80kmh) and the end result as you would imagine is not good for the TVs but the video with all the slow-motion cameras make the crash worthwhile to watch.
