Designed specifically for the corporate presentation market and organisations with public display requirements, the W800 series maximises audience engagement with unrivalled image quality and intelligent eco-conscious brightness. The series represents Sony’s first range of displays to include HTML5 functionality. Sony announced at ISE 2013 its plans to incorporate HTML5 browser technology into its upcoming range of display products.

Sony’s LED Backlight technology ensures all six models provide extremely detailed, high contrast pictures while also lowering energy bills. The displays contain Light Sensor, an automatic feature which enables brightness to be adjusted to match the surrounding ambient light levels perfectly.     

Other key features of the W800 series include; the ability to control displays via IP (WEBAPI), a RS232C.D-Sub 15 pin terminal alongside an HDMI port for connection to a PC, an RJ45 connector, built-in WiFi for browsing the internet or receiving signage content and a slim bezel design, approximately 17mm thick, providing a low impact, professional aesthetic. 

BRAVIA W800 Professional Display solutions (FWD-42W800P, FWD-47W800P, FWD-55W800P, FWD-42W800P/T, FWD-47W800P/T and FWD-55W800P/T)

The W800 series of professional displays are built to deliver quality AV content in corporate environments. The range can also be used as a highly visible digital signage solution in locations such as shopping malls, entertainment complexes and retail stores. Content delivery is simplified with a HTML5 capable browser that can display content stored in the cloud, on local servers and even on USB memory devices. Users simply upload HTML5 content to their location of choice and the BRAVIA display will locate the content and show it on screen via a three-way distribution system, thus providing a flexible, convenient and smart solution to AV content distribution.                    

TV SideView is a new application that allows effortless control of BRAVIA devices using a smartphone or tablet. Supported on Android and iOS devices*, TV SideView enables social media integration, as well as the ability to throw web URLs to the TVs Internet browser, view the TV manual and use a tablet as a universal remote. In addition, all six displays come Skype ready with the addition of an optional accessory.

“The HTML5 format is a standard web technology and a major addition to the Sony BRAVIA Professional Display offering,” said Takayuki Nakane, Display Product Manager at Sony Europe. “The HTML5 format allows users to display rich multimedia content such as videos, pictures and text, as well as other digital content like RSS feeds.”

Nakane continued, “With HTML5, the displays are ideal for digital signage applications. They’re also perfect for small and medium sized business meeting rooms for corporate presentations.”

Organisations have the option to select a model with or without a TV tuner. Available in 42, 47 and 55-inch, the FWD-42W800P/T, FWD-47W800P/T and FWD-55W800P/T include a tuner.
