At 9.9mm, KDL-ZX1 is the thinnest LCD that supports 1080p resolution for HD content, and comes with 120 Hz MotionFlow for better imaging with Bravia Engine 2 and rapidly-moving sequence.

TVs just got slimmer with Sony announcing a new TV series to their existing product line. Sony Japan has announced 9.9mm thin LCD HDTV in their ZX1 series. The KDL-ZX1 is a 40-inch panel weighing 12.2kg. At a thickness of 9.9mm, it is the thinnest LCD that supports 1080p resolution for HD content. This ZX1 series model also has 120 Hz MotionFlow for better imaging with Bravia Engine 2 and rapidly-moving sequence.


The KDL-ZX1 display panel has one HDMI port, supports 3000:1 contrast ratio, and 178 degree viewing angle. Along with the panel comes a Wireless HD base station box. However, Sony hasn't mentioned the maximum Wireless HD range. The base station box has three HDMI ports, USB port, LAN port, standard phone support, two component video ports, one S-video port and a VGA input.



Sony's upcoming Bravia XR1 series TVs are due for release on October 10, and boast of a 1000000:1 contrast ratio. The 46-inch and 55-inch XR series have a 10-bit Bravia Engine 2 for separate image processing of SD and HD sources and also 120Hz MotionFlow Technology for smooth imagery. Both panels will support 1920x1080 resolutions for HD with RGB LED backlighting for better colors and dynamically switching backlight system for generating 1000000:1 contrast ration which remains 3000:1 in static mode.



Along with regular ports, an extra USB port exists for hooking up digital cameras. The 46-inch and 55-inch models are priced at around $5500 and $6800, which slots it at the royal or super-rich end of the TV market in India. These HD and high-contrast ratio televisions will either be a feasible purchase for Post-Production/Media companies or by super-rich multimedia-crazy individuals.
