Sony has joined competitors in announcing large, curved 4K HDTVs for the mass market.
The consumer electronics maker has unveiled 65 and a 75-inch S90 models, both of which are less curved than existing LG or Samsung TVs. Sony says this helps for a more immersive experience and improved viewing angles for larger groups.
Powering the TV is an UltraHD Triluminos display with Sony's own "X-tended dynamic range" for darker blacks and better brightness. The TV also has advanced HD-to-4K upscaling capabilities, active 3D and even angled speakers and subwoofers for 4.2 surround sound.
If you are into "social viewing," there is a live football mode for tweeting and photo sharing while you watch.
Priced well out of the range of the average family, the TVs are expected to cost $5000 and $7500, respectively.
