Sony Bravia S90 The Curved HD TV
Sony Bravia S90 |
Given the frequent displays of one-upmanship from LG and Samsung over the last few years, you'd be forgiven for thinking that they were the only companies to manufacture UHD televisions. Of course other players like Sharp, Panasonic and Sony have all been knocking out 3,840 x 2,160 resolution TVs for at least as long as LG and Samsung, some even longer. Sony Europe has today announced that it's joining the curved 4K TV sparring ring with the launch of its Bravia S90.
The Sony Bravia S90 UHD television will be available in 65-
and 75-in models, with a "precisely-calculated curve" that looks to
be somewhat less pronounced than the curve on the gargantuan examples from LG
and Samsung. Nevertheless, Sony Europe says that viewers can look forward to "spectacularly
immersive, natural-looking 4K pictures" at four times the resolution of
Full HD TVs.
As you might expect, both S90 flavors are packed with Sony
display and audio technologies. You'll find its Triluminos Display for more
vivid reds, greens and blues than on conventional white LED screens, X-tended
Dynamic Range that automatically adjusts display brightness and contrast and
the X-Reality Pro picture engine, which upscales regular TV broadcasts and
Blu-ray movie entertainment to up to four times as many pixels as High
Definition. And both models come with two pairs of active 3D glasses for
stereoscopic viewing.
The TVs come with a built-in 4.2 channel Multi-angle Live
Speaker system that uses separate drive units to mimic immersive surround
sound. Two woofers have also been incorporated inside the curvy TV for some
extra low end thunder, and viewers also have the option to link up an optional
wireless sub. ClearAudio+ Discrete Processing has been included too, to keep
the original multi-channel mix intact. There's also an integrated webcam and
microphone for big screen video chats.
Unfortunately, Sony Europe is keeping tight-lipped on
pricing and availability at the moment, and it's not known when (or even if)
the new TVs will be shipped Stateside.
