2014-01-07
hey guys it's not with the verge i'm here at sony's booth at CES 2014 as you'd expect from sony there's a big push into tv's a big push into 4k the most innovative thing i think they're doing is that their TVs are now triangles instead of being really really thin panels with a big bump their web shaped certainly is using the extra space for these magnetic fluid speakers they say that the extra air will let them make better sound there's also a new reference design isn't quite in the web shape it's got a kind of a more beautiful metal stand that is Sony is kind of highest end reference design has the best best picture quality it has a local dimming LCD screen so the blacks it really really black the whites get really really white that's kind of a big trend here at CES a text and a dynamic range the wedge TVs have edge lighting so they do it but the range isn't quite as big and then there's a one step down that doesn't have the front facing speakers and install speakers but they're not front-facing they're not doing kind of the big air gap e thing there's also a built-in camera and integrated skype for video conferencing as always with 4k the big question is how are you going to get content Sony's announcing a bunch of partnerships here there's Netflix which is sort of everywhere in 4k this year there's youtube which is already been around and kind of more interesting ones sony has long been partners with ESPN and they're partnering for streaming in 4k this year so that is Sony and CS is always a lot of TVs a lot of 4k a lot of really really beautiful pictures
