Sony announced its first TV capable of displaying 4K images, raising the curtain on the next wave in innovation from a company that knows a thing or two about television. The new 84-inch set, model XBR-84X900, is equipped with a 4K (3840 x 2160) LCD panel that delivers an image four times the resolution of Full HD and creates an immersive viewing experience previously unavailable from a TV.

Sony took some time at IFA 2012 today to announce its latest home projector. Dubbed the VPL-HW50ES, this latest full HD 3D projector is the follow-up to the VPL-HW30ES, and as such, it makes a number of improvements over the older model. Because of these new improvements, Sony says that the VPL-HW50ES “sits at the forefront of advanced Home Cinema Projection,” so we’re expecting something pretty big with this latest projector.
One of the projector’s most noteworthy features is its utilization of Sony’s Reality Creation technology, which made its debut in the VPL-VW1000ES 4K home cinema projector. Reality Creation allows the projector to restore any information that was lost as the original video was copied to the disc the end users purchase, which means that users get a full HD picture without losing any color or image quality.
The VPL-HW50ES is capable of 1,700lm brightness, with Sony making improvements to bulb efficiency and utilizing a “Bright Cinema and TV” mode to be able to boast a 30% brightness increase over the VPL-HW30ES. The projector also boasts a 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, thanks in part to Sony’s contrast enhancer technology, which changes the contrast on the fly depending on how dark or bright the scene on screen is. Sony is also offering a number of functionality upgrades with the VPL-HW50ES, including a built-in 3D transmitter, a V shift range of +- 71%, and a maximum output noise of 21db.
The VPL-HW50ES should launch across Europe by the end of October, and when it arrives, it will be available in the different colors – black and white – pictured above. We don’t have any pricing details just yet, but don’t expect it to be cheap, as this model’s predecessor, the VPL-HW30ES, came with an MSRP of $3,699. Keep an ear to SlashGear, because we’ll have that pricing information for you right here once Sony parts with more details.

Huawei‘s upcoming MediaPad 10 FHD tablet is scheduled to launch next month, but for the uninitiated among us, the company has released a new promotional video that hits all of the tablet’s big talking points. There are a lot of them too – the tablet itself is pretty impressive, so it’s only natural that Huawei would want to show it off in a video that’s bound to make at least a few of the tablet-obsessed public giddy with excitement.
As stated above, the MediaPad 10 has no lack of notable features, but the star of this promotional video has got the be the 1920 x 1200 IPS display. The video also touts the tablet’s 8.8mm thickness, along with its quad-core CPU and 16-core GPU, which together provide a “smooth” gameplay experience. The 10.1-inch tablet also comes equipped with an 8-megapixel camera with dual LED fill-flash and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, so there really doesn’t seem to be anything holding the MediaPad 10 back from becoming a serious competitor within the tablet market. Check out the promotional video below.
Of course, it wouldn’t be much of a promotional video if it didn’t also try to hype the tablet’s less-technical features, such as the “refined metallic surface” and its “luxurious yet subtle” nature. All of that hype isn’t wasted on us though, because now we just want to get our hands on it. We’ll get our chance soon, as the MediaPad 10 is due out in late August with a reported price point that comes in under $500. If you’re interested in learning more, be sure to check out our hands-on with the Huawei MediaPad 10!
