During Sony’s IFA press conference in Berlin, CEO Kazuo Hirai unveiled the company’s new 84-inch 4K TV, the Bravia KD-84X9005.
“The thing is beautiful — and yeah, we can confirm, as Kaz suggested, that you really do want to stick out your hand and touch the picture when you’re standing in front of it, particularly, when the video cycles through images of the ocean, with water droplets hitting the screen,” reports Engadget.
According to the post, the 84-inch Bravia is “surprisingly thin” and features “speaker bars attached to either side of the display, with a control panel along the bottom. The stand consists of two metal bars holding up what’s surely a weighty set.”
“This new 4K TV comes equipped with a 4K LCD panel comprising approximately 8.29 megapixels which is 4 times the resolution of Full HD standard, and incorporates ‘4K X-Reality PRO,’ Sony’s super-resolution high picture quality engine optimized for 4K LCD TV,” notes the press release.
“In addition, the combination of ’10 Unit Live Speaker’ side speaker system, which is optimized for this large-size screen, with Sony’s unique high-quality sound signal-processing technology achieves powerful three-dimensional sound that envelops the viewer in position-orienting tones, from deep bass to high notes,” adds the release.
The post includes a slideshow and brief video, in which the reporter describes a smooth and realistic picture.
