MrMan Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Having seen those X series with motionflow, I would rather switch it off. Movies being played with motionflow, ie 100hz, look like homemade videos. There is no doubt this happens but I have read this sentence way too often. For a start Motionflow & 100hz are two seperate things. Motionflow can be turned off but the set will always be running at 100hz. This "illusion" happens when you have the wrong setting's applied to the format your watching . ie : watching video based content & have film based settings applied or visa versa. As we move foward in technology & introduce new formats (Bluray 24fps) which is different from PAL DVD/ HDTV (50fps) TV's have different settings to accomodate. Its amazing how many controls & options Sony have included in this sets menu & when 'average joe' walks along who's just moved up from his crt, where there is no changing of settings for different formats (doesnt even understand what the different formats are ) this is what he see's. Motionflow & Cinema Drive (which adjust cadence/interpolation of frames ) are just 2 of the many many options you have control of on the X series but unfortunatley Sony hasn't explained their function very well . As many people dont even care to realise video has a different frame rate to film & unfortunatley for optimum viewing of each you need to keep switching settings accordingly. Yes its all too confusing but thats technology. I shake my head at how many Mums & Dads or Joe Smith's from down the street must be sitting back watching there new homemade video effect tellie knowing none the wiser. This set shines with Bluray hence all the appropriate settings. I can assure you when it comes to watching Sport on an LCD you'll want that Motionflow.

The Australian version will be known as the W4000. RRP should be "around" $2699 for the 40 & $3299 for the 46. Ours will be 50htz & not 100htz as in the US. I believe no Motionflow either. Also, don't confuse it with the UK version. The UK W series apparently equals our V series. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replacement for the X / XBR's (whatever they may be) will be 100hz. I believe they're looking at around an October / November release date. The W4000 is meant to be pretty impressive though, despite it being 50hz. Haven't seen it for myself as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the 40 , 46 & 52" will be released in July. 26 & 32" in Sep. http://www.agoraquest.com/viewtopic.php?to...rd2=electronics Edited June 26, 2008 by MrMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The W4000 will have a new backlight system (that is definate), where as the V (I'm pretty sure) just has the standard backlight. Both models are 50hz. It's hard to pin point differences at the moment as no spec sheets have been released for the Aussie models, which differ from the US & UK models. It's all a guessing game until they get posted on the Sony Oz website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prh Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Noticed that GG's Castle Hill are already advertising the 40W4000 on their web site, no price though. Also noticed that a lot of model data sheets have just disappeared from the Sony Aus web site. Getting ready for the new models, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
