Sony 3D HDTV Coming In June

Sony has announced that its 3D HDTV, the Sony HX803, will be launched in June, just before the start of the 2010 World Cup.

The HX803 is going to be the first Sony Bravia HDTV with 3D capability available, alongside the LX903 which will also be released around the same time. It is available in two screen sizes – 40 and 46 inches, both with full 1080p resolution for high quality resolution and a 200Hz refresh rate. They will also be capable of up-conversion, converting 2D images into amazing 3D, taking the viewing experience up a level.

The best part about the Sony HX803, though is that it is bundled up with a lot of 3D content. It comes with two 3D Blu-ray discs – “Deep Sea” and “Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs” as well as four 3D PlayStation3 games – Wipeout HD, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, PAIN and Super Stardust HD.

Unfortunately, the sets will not come with the active shutter 3D glasses required. These are to be purchased separately, though Sony guarantees they will be worth the extra cost, having a battery life of up to 100 hours and offering maximum comfort. There are even small ones available for children in pink and blue.

Sony is also planning to release the HX903 this year which is a step-up version of the HX803, featuring deeper black levels and larger screen sizes.
