Sony Corp said Thursday it will release 32-inch 3-D liquid crystal display television sets starting in March, a move aimed at spurring demand for 3-D TVs by expanding the lineup currently made up of 40-inch or larger products to include smaller ones.
The new Bravia TVs have enhanced Internet connection capabilities, enabling users to watch movies through Sony’s online movie distribution service Qriocity, scheduled to be launched in Japan next Wednesday, and use the Internet phone service Skype, it said.
The nominal price for its EX72S series is around 180,000 yen and the EX720 series is about 160,000 yen, according to the Japanese electronics giant.
Sony will also release 40- to 60-inch TV sets that have functions similar to the 32-inch ones, it said.
