Japanese television manufacturer Sony has launched its latest range of HD Bravia TVs in Nepali market. The TVs are equipped with latest version of Wi-Fi connectivity. “Announced earlier at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES), the new W- and R-series LED models are now available in Nepal and optimises Sony’s proprietary technology to deliver images with vibrant hues and sounds with deeper bass and crystal-clear clarity,” says a statement by Nepa Hima Trade Link, the authorised distributor of Sony’s products for Nepal.
Sony has used a new display technology termed as Triluminos in the latest Bravia models. The technology uses integrating QD Vision’s Color IQ1 optical component with Sony’s unique display technologies to reproduce a higher gamut of colours on screen, making display images appear more life-like and vivid. With 1 Color IQ and the Color IQ logo are trademarks of QD Vision, Inc. Color IQTM is an advanced light emitting semiconductor technology developed by QD Vision, Inc. “Using this technology images on the Bravia KDL-W954A and Bravia KDL-W904A become more appealing, colours appear richer and there is a greater sense of depth,” states the statement. Similarly, Sony also claimed that the enhanced XReality Pro picture engine (present in the new W-series models) delivers unprecedented picture quality and when coupled with the Triluminos display, “makes one feel like you’re looking through an open window panel.”
The new Bravia lineup is also equipped with latest sound system. The TVs come with Sony’s patented Signal-to-Sound Architecture, which employs the latest sound-engineering techniques for immersive audio experience. The KDL-W954A houses an ultra-slim two-way bass reflex speaker and stand-alone tweeter in an isolated cabinet to minimise acoustic energy being lost or distorted inside the box, while the KDL-W904A uses a discreetly integrated 1.2m speaker duct to evoke unparalleled bass and mid-range sounds for a unit of its size. The other three W-series models (KDL-W804A, KDL-W704A and KDL-W674A) come equipped with a compact bass reflex speaker.
Another key feature in the series includes Sony’s One-touch mirroring function. Employing NFC technology, users can wirelessly amplify content, be it videos, images or applications, from their smartphones on to their TV screens with a single tap. A similar function to One-touch, Screen mirroring functionality provides users of the BRAVIA KDL-W804A, KDL-W704A, KDL-W674A and KDL-R550A with the option to wirelessly mirror and share video and audio content via their Miracast supported mobile devices, such as the Sony Xperia Z, V, SP and L.
The TVs are preloaded withTV Sideview application that allows a user to control the W-series models using a smartphone or tablet. Available on both Android and iOS platforms, the app also provides supplementary content such as cast details, episode synopsis and related programmes that might be of interest to the user.
According to Sony, the latest Bravia line-up also fulfils the needs of gamers. The TVs comes with 3D Simulview feature that allows two simultaneous players to play against each other without seeing a split screen. First showcased on Sony’s flagship 84” 4K TV last year, this year’s offerings now all offer either active or passive 3D Simulview gaming capability in Full HD.
The new range of Bravia TVs will be available in Nepal from Rs 84,999.
