LCD TV Buying Guide Comments
The new XBR10 series will be available October of 2009 and will contain edge--lit LED technology and 240Hz processing. Though Sony has not revealed the depth of the TVs we believe they will be in the 1.5 inch depth range to compete with some of the other ultra thin LED TVs in the market. This Bravia also includes Sony's new Ethernet Connection with the useful Amazon on Demand feature and later Netflix, while we have not yet seen the big benefit in the Bravia Internet Widgets feature which enables some proprietary stock, weather, financial news types of information. One very unusual feature of this TV is the wireless outboard receiver.
Sony advertises that this receiver box allows the user to get rid of unsightly wires. I'm skeptical that perhaps they couldnt make the video boards fit with the super thin design of the TV. This is not an easy feat. I've also been skeptical of wireless video transmission since the technology came out, so we'll be interested to see how all of this works. At $5000 I hope it functions flawlessly.
