Sony's mega-sized Ultra HD display will only arrive on our shores in early 2013, as reported historicallyin the past. More recently, an editorial published on Sony's weblog suggests that the Japanese CE maker is now planning to ship the 84-inch BRAVIA KD-84X9000 with a "4K Ultra HD delivery solution pre-loaded with native 4K entertainment". Details about this alleged Ultra HD package are sketchy at the moment, but HDTVtest believes it is likely to be a "PC-based media server" of sorts.
Just in: According to Sony, the 4K TV entertainment delivery bundle applies to U.S. customers only. We'll let you know again if Sony decides to extend this offer to Asia as well.
Here's a snippet of Sony's editorial and the "Ultra HD delivery solution" as teased by their public relations manager, Ray Hartjen.
There's major hurdles plaguing large-screen Ultra HD displays at the moment - a lack of native 4K content, and exorbitant cost tags able to depleting bank accounts. For example, Sony's X9000 costs a staggering RM99,000, and it only makes sense that the company is seeking to entice consumers with native 4K content to complement the pricey Ultra HD screen. LG unveiled the 84-inch LM9600 sometime in October, and while it is noticeably cheaper than Sony's 4K BRAVIA, RM69,999 is not for the faint of heart as well.
We are still waiting for Sony's reply meanwhile. But rest assured you'll be the first to know one time they find out if this "Ultra HD delivery solution" applies to X9000 sets landing on our sunny island . And more importantly, is it free?
