Sony Will Launch Ultra HD 4K TV which is thinner than iPhone 6 This Summer

Sony is launching two models of UHD TVs which are thinner and lighter than the rest of TVs which has launched by the company so far. The top half of the television will be thinner than the bottom half of the device as the components such as HDMI and USB ports are found at the bottom half of the television.

The two models are the X900C which comes with two versions, 55 inches and 65 inches while the other model, the X910C comes with 75 inches. All the models will have screens which are virtually bezel-less and almost run edge-to-edge even though the bezel is not as thin as Samsung TVs. However, it is definitely better compared to other televisions which have been released by Sony beforehand.

The televisions will run on X1 processor which capable of producing picture quality of 3840 x 2160 resolutions. Therefore, the color definitely will be brighter and shaper. The downside is that it is a little bit slow and there are not many apps which is compatible with the device yet.

On top of that, both models will come on Google’s Android TV which the user can have full access to Google Play, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Amazon Instant Video and many more. 65-inch X930C will be priced at $4500 while 75-inch X940C will be priced at $8000. Pre-order will be available starting on Sunday from Sony website whereas online retailers and physical shops will be available in May.

Apple Reaching for a 5K Ultra HD Display

Just after successfully releasing the iPhone 6 Plus this past Tuesday, Apple is yet again to make a very important announcement. Apple is allegedly stirring another Apple product, a 27-Inch ultra high definition (UHD) monitor as reported by WitsView, an LCD research market firm. The screen is said to be exhibiting a 5120 x 2880 p resolution for a breathtaking display. It is pretty ambitious and exciting, is it not? Let us all cross our fingers that the rumors are true that it is to be released by the end of this year.

Again, if there is a possibility for this news, this would be a great leap for the present Thunderbolt displays. So far, we can only get a resolution of 2560 x 1440 p on the current models. Imagine a viewing experience twice as good as what we currently have.

If you noticed on the first part of this article, I used the adjective ambitious to describe this project. How so? Apparently, what Apple only has now is DisplayPort 1.2 standard integrated on Thunderbolt 2.0 ports. And this combination is only capable of supporting a 4096 x 2160 display. Thus, reinforcing the 5K resolution is quite a demanding undertaking.

On a more positive note, included on WitsView’s report as well is the probability of other major companies also producing Ultra HD displays in different sizes.
