Later this month, Sony will build onits currently rampant brand-leveraging drive by boosting the low end of the Bravialine of LCD TV sets with two new premium models aimed at the fashion-consciousshopper.

The new Bravia M1 Series PremiumEdition, which joins the plain-vanilla M1 series that debuted in February,consists of a 16-inch LCD and a larger 20-inch model [Japanese].

Marketing message

Japan is currentlyhome to a wide range of Bravia products, including several popular mobile phonesthat come with digital TV tuners.

There’s little technically differentabout the two newcomers beyond a lick of paint that brings a choice of threenew bezel colours – Earth Gold, Ice Blue and Metal Brown.

Full HD TV

Both new sets can handle input up to1080p and come with two HDMI sockets. The smaller Bravia will cost ¥84,800 (£405),with the larger one coming in at ¥104,800 (£500) when they go on sale in Japan at theend of this month.

There’s still no word on aworldwide release for any of the M1 series, but something can be expectedbefore the autumn.
