Sony stated its new range of X900 and X910 series UHD 4K TVs will be ready for a market splash this coming summer. Apart from the exceptional clarity that is going to be the hallmark of the new 4K TVs, Sony has stated that the other biggest USP of new TVs will be their ultra thin profile.
The new ultra slim range comprises of the 55 inch XBR-55X900C, and 65 inch XBR-65X900C. The biggest of the lot is the XBR-75X910C model with a mammoth 75-inch display.
Sony has likened the thiness of the new 4K TV models to be no more than that of new iPhone 6. For those who thrive on hard core figures, it is 5.08 mm that the TVs measure. Also of course another inherent benefit of being thin is that it also weighs less. The 55 inch model weighs less than 20 pound even with the stands attached.
Both the model range feature Vanishing Edge technology which means the picture goes on to fill the entire display. Its edge to edge display that the viewers will be treated with with almost zero bezel, according to Engadget.
Coming to the actual picture, its Triluminos technology that will create the visual magic though Sony has made its clear it's not the quantum dot based tech that is being used here. The company didn't reveal what makes the new 4K TVs special but has stated the blacks are now deeper and the whites brighter.
Furthermore, the new 4K TVs will also be HDR compatible. Put in lay man terms, HDR or high dynamic range translates to a wider color range from the dark to the light. Or in other words, HDR compatible set translates to having the combined benefit of the rich deep blacks of plasma and the bright light of LEDs on a single set.
These apart, the TVs come with full access to the Google Play Store, YouTube and NetFlix. The TVs run Android TV and is compatible with Chromecast right out of the gates.
However, what is not known is how much these new ulta thin TVs are likely to cost though the good folks at Wired have pegged the price between $3000 and $6000 mark.
