New Sony LCDs with Hi-Vision
Posted by Filip Norrgard in "NEWS" @ 12:00 AM
Sony has announced a new LCD flat screen TV series with built-in digital terrestrial tuner for the Japanese market. The Vega KDL-S series will support a "hi-vision" resolution that, in reality, corresponds to a PC monitor with XGA resolution. The new Sony LCDs will furthermore feature a VGA connector and a LAN connector according to the press release. The press release in original language is here (the other link leads to the machine translated page).
The usefulness of a LAN connector is a slight mystery to me though. The linked page points out that the TV is fan-less, which I thought most TVs were. Also, what is up with the "hi-vision" renaming of XGA resolution? Is Sony trying to pull off a memory stick or an Atrac on the world market? :?
