The recently concluded CES 2024 showcased a dazzling array of cutting-edge products and technologies, with major consumer electronics brands stealing the spotlight. While LG's transparent TV wall mesmerized onlookers, Sony took a different route, directing its focus toward gaming consoles, VR, and electric cars, sidelining its annual TV releases.
Despite Sony TVs being notably absent at CES 2024, rumors have circulated about the introduction of a new Mini LED technology that the company unveiled last year. This year's flagship TVs are expected to make a departure from OLED screens and embrace the innovative Mini LED technology.
Let's delve into the details of this Mini LED technology.
Unveiled last year, this technology upgrades the dimming zones of Mini LEDs, aiming to achieve finer visual effects. Sony plans to equip Mini LEDs with a 22-bit driver, comprising a 10-bit current and a 12-bit PWM, claiming to create the smallest dimming zones to date.
Mini LED TVs, essentially LCD TVs, require screen segmentation for independent brightness control in each zone to enhance contrast and brightness. Sony's new Mini LED technology significantly increases the number of dimming zones, promising improved contrast, brightness, and a substantial reduction in halo effects.
In previous releases, Sony emphasized the XR cognitive chip and algorithms for gains in Mini LED panel performance, focusing on hardware innovation rather than tweaking panel specifications. Propelled by leading brands like TCL in the Mini LED TV sector, Sony has innovated its hardware to stay competitive.
Mini LED TVs have emerged as trailblazers in the current TV market, offering remarkable brightness, exceptional color reproduction, and contrast to meet consumer demands for high-quality visuals. With more brands adopting Mini LED technology and further optimizations by industry leaders like TCL, the market share for Mini LED TVs is expected to grow.
While Sony's product lineup for the year remains undisclosed, speculations suggest that the company may concentrate its efforts on flagship models featuring Mini LED technology.
