hello I'm the Westway for cnet here at CES in Fabulous Las Vegas today I'm taking a look at this the sony bravia x9 hundred a it's another 4k TV from Sony so I signees already showing off some 4k TVs before but now it's making them in some sizes that are a bit more likely to fit inside your living room right here is a 65 inch version but Sony's also making a 55 in tradition so being of a 4k resolution this screen has an absolutely astonishing number of pixels specifically 38 40 x 2 160 it looks really good it's extremely colorful and as you'd expect it's really really sharp now this TV also does passive 3d that's not something that Sony's traditionally been too into but it thinks that passive is going to be okay for this television because of that really really high resolution so it thinks that when you half the resolution watching 3d you're not going to lose too much detail passive 3d has some other advantages because the glasses are a lot cheaper and they don't require batteries being generous sort sony is throwing in four pairs when you buy the TV now there's not actually very much that you can watch in 4k at the moment so Sony's baked upscaling into its latest effort that means that if you're watching a blu-ray disc for example it'll up the resolution to 4k I've seen some demonstrations it looks pretty good upscaling is never perfect hold on for the full review where we'll be really putting it through its paces the exciting new technology even extends to the remote control Sony's got NFC technology inside the remote so if you have a smartphone that has that near field communication technology you can tap your phone against the remote and put what's on your phone on the TV that's pretty useful if you've got movie stood on your mobile for example if your phone doesn't have NFC then you can still export the view onto the TV using Wi-Fi screen mirroring now the design here is likely to prove divisive personally I'm not really blown away by these chunky bezels but Sony's packed really really massive speakers into the side of this display so you never know it might have really good built-in sound now there's no price yet but expect this to be extremely expensive even though it's a bit smaller than sony's existing 4k TVs it's coming out in the spring so we don't have very long to wait to find out exactly how good it is and how much it'll cost for kate's really interesting I think it looks really good personally I think it's a bit more exciting than 3d has been in the past so this is definitely one to keep an eye on on the west way for Cena at CES and this is the sony bravia x9 hundred a
