The same 50-inch devices in the lineup and Sony Bravia has a relatively expensive and available in lots of W8, W7 and even W6.

Sony KDL-50W817 – a new model and part of the series, located just two steps below the flagship. Despite the price, it can not be called a simplified device or on a set of technologies used or bundle. Looks like it is not just decent, but expensive. The tv strikingly slim frame and a half centimeters, no more – this is characteristic of today’s top models. Seemingly simple and too fragile stand of aluminum tube of rectangular cross section in fact keeps the machine on the table is not worse than the classic “legs” with a broad pedestal. And it can be used as part of the wall mount, other parts of which are also in the scope of delivery, which is very convenient – this is not necessary to specifically look for exploring dozens of shops.
