Sony Bravia is A Monolith of Beauty

There are few things out there that are beautiful enough to just look at for hours. What if a TV was so beautiful whether it was on or off you could just stare at the amazing design? The Sony Bravia builds the aesthetic appeal to an all-time high with their new NX800 HDTV. A design that looks like something Apple would create, is sleek, monolithic, and clean. With the barrage of TV’s shown at CES earlier this month, this is one of those TV’s that is just jam packed with technology that any tech geek or otherwise will drool at what it has to offer.

Naturally the TV, being HD, offers up a full 1080p display. It comes in varying sizes ranging from 46-, 52-, or 60-inches with an LED backlit LCD screen. The two big ones for me is the integrated WIFI which opens up a lot of opportunities and the inclusion of an ambient light sensor is always nice for quick adjustments. The TV is also internet ready with its own set of proprietary widgets. I’d like to see these in action in the real world to see if it’s something people will actually use.

The Sony Bravia NX800 HDTV will retail at $2300 to $3500 so save your nickels and dimes and see if this TV is what you’re looking for in a full entertainment experience.

Slim PS3 arriving and all rumors confirmed

As we’ve been discussing it before, it is finally official, Sony is releasing in this September, the new Play Station 3 console model. Confirming that this is a slim one, including a price cut and with an internal HD 120gb. Not bad uh?

Here are the facts so far about the new PS3:

• Available in the first week of september (yes! just a few days more).
• 120gb internal hard drive.
• 22% smaller and around 36% lighter.
• New refrigeration system. Apparently won’t over heat all that much as the earlier versions.
• The processor still is a 45nm Cell model but consumes less energy. Current PS3 owners will know that this is an important feature.
• New feature “BRAVIA Sync”. If you also are the owner of a Sony BRAVIA TV you will be able to control the XrossMediaVar using your PS3. Also the sandby feature will let you turn off the console automatically when the TV turns off.

Here are some comparison photos with the previous models:
