The KDL-ZX will allegedly be Sony's first OLED set since last year's XEL-1 and, though no details are mentioned in the HDTVLounge data, is likely to use Sony's recently previewed 21-inch OLED panel. Its screen is 10 inches larger than that o... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/13/sony.xbr11.xbr12.kdl.zx.hinted/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/09/bravia.sets.get.expensive.hd.rental.early/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/cloudywithachanceofmeatballs.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony today hoped to lure customers to its HDTVs and Blu-ray players by giving them advance access to one of its movies. Similar to last year's deal, the electronics maker will give those with one of its modern networked TVs or Blu-ray players, such as the BRAVIA W5100 or the BDP-N460, early access to a streaming rental of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs about a month before the retail street da... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/09/bravia.sets.get.expensive.hd.rental.early/ Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/22/slacker.to.phase.out.g2.player/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/slackerintro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Slacker will stop building its only hardware digital streaming music player, the G2 in the second half of 2010, according to a Wednesday WSJ report. The 2GB device was launched in 2007 and grew to include 4GB and 8GB capacities. Slacker is still selling a 4GB version for $129, while Best Buy has some 8GB models in stock, priced at $249.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/22/slacker.to.phase.out.g2.player/ Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/09/xbr10.adds.new.wireless.hd.more/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/sonybraviaxbr10.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony used its turn at CEDIA to launch a raft of new home theater equipment headlined by the BRAVIA XBR10. An Americanized version of the Japanese ZX5, they have a new 60GHz Wireless HD media box that lets the TV sit completely separately from most video inputs while still playing them at full quality. It can play a 1080p picture at a full 60 frames per second without dropping frames or otherwise... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/09/xbr10.adds.new.wireless.hd.more/ Wed, 09 Sep 2009 21:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/07/sony.bravia.zx5.in.japan/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/gallery/sep2009/sonybraviazx5.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Choosing an uncharacteristic Monday launch date, Sony today launched the BRAVIA ZX5. The line brings wireless TV and uses the 60GHz Wireless HD format to pipe content from a separate TV Station hub to the set itself without wires. As they use ultra-wideband, the new sets are far more efficient than the ZX1 and can handle up to 1080p video at 60 frames per second over the wireless link instead of... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/07/sony.bravia.zx5.in.japan/ Mon, 07 Sep 2009 14:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/02/sony.triple.tuner.hdtvs/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/gallery/sep2009/sonyV5800intro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony on Wednesday introduced three new BRAVIA HDTVs for Europe. The V5800, W5800 and Z5800 have three tuners for receiving satellite (DVB-S2), over-the-air terrestrial (DVB-T) and cable (DVB-C) channels in standard definition or HD, nullifying the need for separate set-top boxes. The LCDs output at 1080p and also get a CI+ port for cards that allow access to subscription channels. The V5800 has a... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/02/sony.triple.tuner.hdtvs/ Wed, 02 Sep 2009 21:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/09/sony.bravia.gets.netflix/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/sonybravianetflix.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony today said its Internet-aware BRAVIA TVs now have access to Netflix. Both newer sets with support built-in, as well as older sets using the add-on Internet Video Link, can access (but not add to) the Watch Instantly queue and stream movies or TV shows directly to the set. Whether or not it's capable of HD footage isn't clear.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/09/sony.bravia.gets.netflix/ Thu, 09 Jul 2009 13:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/11/psn.on.more.sony.devices/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/psnintro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The PlayStation Network (PSN) currently accessible by users of Sony's PlayStation 3 gaming console that lets them download games, movies, songs and other multimedia content may soon make its way to other hardware from the electronics giant, company CEO Howard Stringer revealed in a recent interview. Bringing the Internet and downloadable content into family living rooms will be made possible by in... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/11/psn.on.more.sony.devices/ Mon, 11 May 2009 18:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/19/sony.rht.g.tv.stands/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0903/sonyRHTG950intro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony Europe on Thursday unveiled its RHT-G series of TV stands that feature integrated surround sound speaker systems. All share three HDMI inputs and are compatible with BRAVIA Sync for one-remote control of both the TV and the stand. The three models in the range accommodate Sony or third-party TVs of various sizes, with the entry-level RHT-G550 meant for TVs sized at between 32 and 40 inches.

The refresh is a deliberately lower-cost option that brings the same Internet features as the Z5100 and XBR9 but without the expensive panel technology. Any W5100 set can access Flickr and news widgets through Yahoo's industry-wide interface when connected over Ethernet. They can also tap i... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/02/sony.bravia.w5100/ Tue, 03 Mar 2009 03:40:00 GMT
