Two New 3D TVs from Sony: NX710, NX810

Sony has just announced the launch of two new 3D TVs in time for the start of the new school year: the NX710, available in 40'' and 46'' versions, and the 55'' NX810.



They're part of the manufacturer's monolithic range, which is known for its great design.  However, the gorgeous stand that has everybody drooling doesn't come as standard, and is an optional extra in two versions, one of which includes  2.1 audio amp.

The NX710 will be available in 40'' and 46'' versions, but there'll only be a 55'' NX810.  The launch price hides a few details, though, as neither the 3D transmitter nor the glasses are included.  That seems to be becoming standard practice, as Samsung did the same with its C7000 and C8000 series TVs.  It effectively means you're buying a 3D TV, with a built-in 2D-to-3D convertor but no 3D kit to actually enjoy the third dimension.  Make sure you adjust your budget accordingly ...

As for features, the only thing that separates the two models is the Motionflow mode, which is available at 100 Hz on the NX710 and 200 Hz on the NX810.  Everything else is the same, and both TVs offer online services via an Ethernet port or WiFi.  The built-in media player can access content either from a DLNA-compatible home network or from an external peripheral formatted as FAT32.
