Sony sure knows how to make pretty things. Case in point, the new Sony Bravia E4000 series of HDTV’s can be easily mistaken as a digital picture frame to the untrained eye. In fact, the E4000 is both a digital frame and a HDTV. When turned off, the panels can act as a digital photo viewer, capable of loading photos from a thumb drive. If you don’t have any favorite photos handy to display, the TV comes pre-loaded with six works of art, including Pop Art and Van Gogh paintings. The new line will be available in 26-inch, 32-inch and 40-inch sizes. Spec-wise, the panels will feature: the Bravia 2 processing engine, Bravia Sync, integrated digital/HDTV tuner, 178 degree viewing angle, 24p True Cinema, and 3x HDMI ports. The 32-inch and 40-inch will include a stand and full HD 1080p resolution; however, the 40-inch will be the only model to sport a 10-bit panel. x.v.Color for enhanced color reproduction, and PhotoTV HD for more “lifelike” photo slideshows.

The Sony Bravia E4000 will come in a few frame colors: midnight sky, aluminum, pearly white and dark walnut. It is expected to launch in Europe in a few weeks.
