Sony is about to drop a new line of HDTVs in Japan. The Bravia LCDs come in a ton of different shapes, sizes, and price tags. The one that will put the smallest hole in your pocket is the EX300, which ranges from ¥70,000-90,000 ($770-$990) and features a 1,366 x 768 resolution in a 22, 26, or 32-inch model. For four times that pricetag you can get the EX700 model at 52-inches with LED backlight, a thinness of only 22mm, widgets and other cool features, and network ability for YouTube and DLNA compatibility. There’s also the EX500, which is the 40-inch, 120Hz, 1080p model for ¥130,000 ($1,400). All the models will be available in Japan on February 25th, and will hopefully launch in the US and Europe sometime after.
