Sony’s flagship series for 2010 is the LX900 series, which comes in 60-, 52-, 46- and 40-inch screens, all of which are equipped with full 3D technology - even with two pairs of 3D glasses included. They also come with edge LED backlighting, built-in Wi-Fi capability, integrated Bravia Internet Video, and an Intelligent Presence Sensor to help you save energy.

The HX series - HX900 and HX800 - are both 3D-Ready, with the 3D emitter and glasses sold separately, as well as Wi-Fi adapter ready. The HX900 series uses local dimming LED technology while the rest use Dynamic edge LED backlighting.

On the other hand, the NX800 and NX700 have built-in Wi-Fi capavility like the LX900 series but are not capable of working with 3D technology. The NX800 series comes with 240Hz Motionflow technology for smooth motion while the latter offers 120Hz.

The other Sony Bravia HDTV series with LED-lit displays are the EX700 and EX600 while the EX500, EX40B and EX400 use conventional backlight. The EX700 and EX40B models are equipped with Bravia Engine 3 while the Ex600, EX500 and EX400 come with Bravia Engine 2. All come with full 1080p resolution.

The Bravia EX308 and BX300, which are available in 32- and 22-inch screens, offer 720p resolution. Both will be available in the spring, with the 32-inch screens costing about $500.
