Sony 3D Bravia TV Range on Sale
Sony has joined the 3D elite this month, launching a full range of 3D ready TVs for consumers. This comes as the tech giant revealed their Blu-ray players and Playstation3 will also be 3D-ready. But is this a win-win situation for 3D consumers?
In a word, yes. Sony are one of the leading manufacturers of HDTVs and their entry into the 3D duomo will accelerate one of the most exciting niche markets in the field; gaming. This echoes the company’s commitment to the new technology, as they also revealed they will release a bespoke range of 3D-ready Blu-ray players to compliment the range.
Fortune favours the Bravia?
Customers who have already bought products intended for the 3D TV revolution should also know that the time has come for the firmware upgrade that will open up the new technology (products include the BDP-S470 and BDP-S570 players and the BDV-E570 and BDV-E770W home theatre systems.)
Sony’s 3D-capable Bravia range are available for demonstration in Sony Style stores across the world, with presale orders already beginning to come in for the products mainstream release in July.
“3D is revolutionizing the entertainment industry and only Sony is involved in every stage of the ecosystem,” said Chris Fawcett, vice president of Sony’s television business. “Leveraging deep 3D expertise from the company’s theatrical and professional groups, Sony products are optimized to offer the best possible 3D home entertainment experience.”
Sony 3D Range Revealed
The new 3D range from Sony includes the Bravia XBR-LX900 HDTV, which features a built-in 3D sync transmitter and two pairs of active shutter glasses, and the 3D-ready Bravia XBR-HX909 and KDL-HX800 series which offer the option of adding the 3D elements for an additional cost.
Early adopters will receive a copy of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and Blu-ray 3D title Deep Sea while PlayStation3 users will benefit from a voucher to download stereoscopic 3D gaming experiences on the PS3.
Sony has made all the right signals, at a crucial time. The rise of the 3-dimension technology revolution, which is set to sweep across the electronics’ market this decade, is a brave new world for manufacturers. There will be those that sit back and learn from mistakes, and there will be those that put their best foot forward and lead the way. Sony is making it known, that when it comes to 3D, they won’t be mixing with the cowards.
