The complete lineup lacks the X75E series – in 43-, 49-, 55- and 65-inch variants, which is still not up for pricing and availability details by the company.
Coming back to the X94E series, the reason of its being expensive is not just its size (75-inch), actually, it is blessed with direct LED technology in its panel, which is way too different from the edge LED technology in rest of the 2017 Sony models. This technology means that the LEDs are housed behind the panel for better contrast and brightness. Furthermore, the X90E series in the new lineup also comes coupled with this technology.
The X95E and X93E series of the new lineup come with edge LED technology, and to compensate this, the company is offering "Slim Backlight Drive+", which has been claimed to provide enhanced brightness and more accurate local dimming control. According to the company, the series above X90E of the Sony 4K HDR TVs also features better systems for picture processing, and clarity, and contrast enhancement.
Connectivity options on X82E onwards include four HDMI inputs, in which two are placed on the side and two at back on the X82E series models, in X90E models three are housed on the side and one on the back and in the X93E, X94E, and X95E, one is placed on the side and three at the bottom of them. The lower X70E Series models pack a total number of three HDMI inputs, which includes two on the side and one at the back of it.
The complete new lineup runs Android TV 7.0 Nougat along with Sony’s own UI on the top of it. The remote has also been developed considering the Android aspects and features separate buttons for Netflix, Google Play Store, and YouTube. The new 2017 Android TV lineup is a part of Netflix’s recommended programme.
