Sony Targets Television Growth With Three New Flat-Screen Super Slim-Line Models

Berlin, Germany (ots/PRNewswire)

- New Sony Plasma and LCD TV Models Extend Customer Choice and
Reinforce  Sony Quality and Design Heritage
Responding to a growing consumer demand for a superior television
viewing experience offered by the new generation of ultra slim-line
flat panel displays, Sony has expanded customer choice and enriched
lifestyle options in its range of high-resolution, design conscious
televisions. Building on one of the market's most popular television
ranges, Sony Europe has further extended its LCD (Liquid Crystal
Display) and Plasma TV ranges with three new models that are designed
to extend customer choice and enrich lifestyles through
market-leading image quality and distinctive design capabilities - a
Sony hallmark.
The new models demonstrate Sony's leading edge technology
capabilities in all areas of product design and technology
implementation. The new 37-inch KE-P37M1 television combines plasma
presentation technology with Sony's legendary WEGA engine and PAL
Progressive input capabilities to provide sublime VGA resolution 16:9
image quality. This is further strengthened with advanced Dolby
Virtual and BBE digital sound processing that all together sets new
mainstream standards in home entertainment. At the same time, the
30-inch KLV-30HR3 and 27-inch KLV-27HR3 represent the next strategic
milepost on Sony's LCD TV development roadmap. Harnessing the latest
developments in liquid crystal display technology, these new VESA
compliant models combine superior XGA resolution widescreen picture
quality with a superb wide viewing angle (up to 170 degrees) and a
compact, lightweight design that looks equally great free standing or
wall-mounted. Advanced features, such as Picture Freeze and built in
AC power capabilities further enhance their use throughout the home -
in kitchens, studies and bedrooms.
European consumer tastes evolve
"The development of these new models is driven by customer
feedback that tells a simple and strong story. Consumers appreciate
the benefits of the new generation LCD and plasma TVs but they are
not prepared to break the bank in order to buy one," comments Andreas
Ditter, Director, Television Marketing Europe at Sony Europe. "These
three new models fall within our mainstream range; they offer superb
home entertainment at affordable prices; and they look fantastic in
any home environment. We are predicting a large demand for these new
models in the run up to Christmas."
Picture clarity and resolution are strengths of these new
televisions. All three models utilise Sony's PAL 3D comb filter to
create realism in the image quality that is tangible. It is the LCD
models' image quality that stops people in their tracks. With
outstanding 1280 x 768 XGA resolution across its entire screen, the
KLV-30HR3 represents best in class and best value for money in the
30-inch display category.
Great looks, Stunning Pictures
Part of the secret of Sony's success in all its electronics design
and development operations is an ability to combine form and
function. Available in either black or silver, these new models offer
a high degree of elegant design sophistication at price points that
were previously unattainable. With a profile of just 116mm (KE-P37M1)
or 119mm (KLV-30HR3/KLV-27HR3) these TV sets create a stunning visual
focus to any design conscious living room. The televisions each have
two 10W speakers, which are inconspicuously integrated below the
screen and present one continuous panel display capable of
outstanding audio reproduction. Another option is to seamlessly
integrate the TV within the existing home entertainment network via
an audio output. The KE-P37M1 has audio output terminals that
interface directly to Sony home theatre systems, enabling the user to
enjoy all the power and realism of true 5.1 surround sound provided
through the system.
Despite the smooth slim-line contours and ergonomic button and
input placement, these new models represent fully featured
Televisions that integrate harmoniously within existing Sony home AV
entertainment networks. Emphasising their integration capabilities, a
wide range of input options includes tuner, Scart (x3), component
vide/audio, S-video and composite audio/video.
Editor's notes - Glossary of terms:
1 - PAL Progressive input capabilities - PAL is the television
standard adopted throughout most parts of Europe whilst progressive
scanning techniques provide a better, more stable picture output.
2 - Dolby Virtual sound processing - Developed by Dolby
Laboratories, this audio processing technology enables the user to
create a virtual 5.1 surround sound in their living rooms using just
the TV's own stereo speakers.
3 - VESA - Video Electronics Standards Association
4 - PAL 3D comb filter - image processing technique which enhances
the three-dimensional appearance of pictures even though they are
presented on a two-dimensional screen.
5 - Picture Freeze - a Sony developed facility which enables the
user to freeze the TV picture whilst the audio commentary continues.
Particularly useful when noting addresses or cooking recipes off the
TV screen.
