Sony is having something of a modest CES this year, but with consumer electronics this tends to happen. The really big stories from Vegas are its plans for TVs this year. The company is launching ten new models and continues a push toward 4K. It's also pushing 4K camcorders too, to help everyone produce amazing quality video.
The headline of the X900C TV was just how insanely thin it is. At its thinnest point it's just 4.9mm, which looks pretty cool. There is a thicker bit, which houses the ports and power supply, but the TV is still very petite - in depth terms. It's also got a very thin bezel, which means the screen seems to "float" in space. It's very impressive.
The TV is also Sony's most ambitious in picture quality terms, supported by a new processor called the X1. The idea of this processor is that it is able to produce the best ever image quality from 4K, 1080p and even SD material.
Sony also announced that all of its 2015 TVs will run on Google's new Android TV platform. This is exciting news, and will give Sony's smart TVs a boost, especially with the announcement that its new PlayStation streaming service will run on Android TV. This allows you to play games over the internet, without the need to own a console.
To top it off, Sony has been given Netflix's new 'Recommended TV' badge of honour. The streaming service has been pretty busy at CES, appearing at press conferences with several big brands to give its seal of approval. There was no mention of HDR video at Sony though, unlike the LG announcement.
Sony has had little to say about OLED this year. This pretty much leaves LG as the only company that is able to sell TVs using the new technology. Sony does, like Samsung, have its own quantum dot technology though, so TVs with Triluminous banding will offer much improved contrast over standard LCDs.
