YouTube Hits: unofficial Sony Bravia advert, shot in London
We’re a big fan of the Sony Bravia adverts, and it appears a YouTube user Kobayashi is too. The London-based animation director has created it with a budget of next-to-nothing, in the hopes it will attract Sony’s eye.
Keeping the bunny motif of the last (official) video, it shows off some of London’s most famous landmarks….
Sony adds to "invisible home cinema" range: RHT-G900 and G1500
Perhaps Sony’s use of the word “invisible” is the reason why it was so difficult to find a product image of these two new home cinema sound racks, adding to the RHT Series. Pictured is the GHT-800 from last year, which I’m hoping is similar looking. If not, I’m sorry.
Aimed at those with a flat screen telly who don’t want a proper surround sound system, Sony have packed all the audio stuff — processing, amplification, and speakers — into the TV and component stand…
Up close with the Sony BRAVIA range: Part 2: Display technology
Last time, we looked at how Sony’s BRAVIA range of TVs produce the optimum picture from any video source.
It doesn’t end there, though. There’s plenty more technology built in to these TVs to ensure that programmes and films look their best.
LCD Technology
Most of the BRAVIA TVs feature a state-of-the-art high performance LCD panel. These feature Advanced Contrast Enhancement, which monitors the brightness of the backlight and automatically adjusts contrast to ensure good detail levels, an ultra wide viewing angle of 178 degrees, and a non-reflective frame which helps to reduce reflections caused by artificial light sources in a room…
Up close with the Sony BRAVIA range: Part 1: Vision

Today, we’re up close with vision, looking at how Sony ensures their BRAVIA sets display the best possible picture.
BRAVIA: Fully HD
All of Sony’s current BRAVIA TVs, except for the 15-inch portable set, are HD Ready. That is, they’re able to take and display at least a 720p signal, be that from a broadcast service such as Sky HD or Virgin Media, from a games console such as the PS3, or from a high definition disc such as Blu-ray.
Panasonic launches P905i Viera TV phone in Japan
Nowadays, it’s the done thing for big consumer electronics firms to take their home entertainment brands mobile, with dedicated handsets. Think Sony Ericsson with its Walkman, Cyber-shot and (in Japan) Bravia phones. Panasonic is at it too, with its Viera TV brand.
CES 2008: Sony expands its HDTV range with new features, accessories
Naturally Sony had more than a few new HDTVs to announce at CES. It just wouldn’t be CES if there weren’t thirteen thousand nearly identical HDTVs to launch and flood every visible booth with. Sony actually has a further 17 rolling out this year, in addition to its more unique OLED XEL-1 model.
