200Hz, networking and energy efficiency are the focus of Sony's first new Bravia TVs for 2009 - plus a pledge on OLED sets

Sony KDL XBR9

They are Ethernet-capable, support DLNA standards and have a USB slot for music, video and photo playback via your TV.

The 32in KDL-32XBR9, meanwhile, is a 100Hz model with Bravia Engine 2 and without the Ethernet or DNLA capabilities of its bigger XBR9 brothers.

Z sets upgraded
Also due this spring is a new Z5100 series that appears to be a slight upgrade to the existing 200Hz-packing Z4500 range.
