Sony has finally come to the market with a streaming 1080P solution for its television line, only found in the XBR10 Bravia, courtesy of the included MBT-WZ5 wireless HDTV reciever. Here is a video we shot this morning of both in action. The TV is stunning and I was most certainly impressed with it – 1080P wireless is crystal clear without hiccups. You cannot tell the difference between wireless and wired with this product. Plus, the wireless transmitter/receiver has enough I/O to satisfy just about any configuration. However, the 52″ costs $4,999, and the 46 is looking to be about a thousand less so this will be limited to the true playboys out there. Here’s the obligatory Mentos comparison, a Sony staff member idea:
Please note in the picture above that the glass behind the TV is just part of the stand at the booth, and is NOT a part of the TV. It also doesn’t glow all those kind of colors underneath. Don’t mind Justin Timberlake’s Cry Me a River playing in the background of the movie – it was sound from another booth showing off their speakers (this happens often at CEDIA). Here are the key specs:
- 16:9 Full HD 1080p resolution panel (1920×1080)
- Edge Lit LED backlight (1,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio)
- Bravia 1080p Wireless
- 7 HD inputs (HDMIx4, Componentx2, PC Input x1)
- Motionflow 240hz technology
- Bravia Internet Video/Widgets
- Bravia Engine 3
- DLNA
