Sony BRAVIA V4500 LCD Line Lands In Europe

Sony's BRAVIA V4500 LCD line brings three new high-def TV's to Europe in three sizes--26-, 32-, and 37-inches. The V4500 line features a simple black design intended to emphasize the screen, accented by silver speakers and a bottom swivel that allows you to angle the set to wherever you're sitting. The picture is driven by the BRAVIA Engine 2 onto the WXGA LCD panel with 720p resolution and 33000:1 dynamic contrast ratio (on the 26- and 32-inch models). And given that Blu-ray is a Sony technology, all the models feature True Cinema 24p ensuring Blu-ray discs are played back at the correct frame rate, plus all screen sizes feature a built-in MPEG-4 AVC HD tuner enabling DVB-T/DVB-C services where available. Other features include Picture Frame Mode for digital picture viewing via the USB port, the Xross Media Bar interface that simplifies everything from flipping channels to selecting inputs, BRAVIA Sync allowing a one-button remote press controlling the entire home theater, and finally a trio of HDMI slots.
