3DTV is still to catch on, but Sony's already churning out more Bravia models before the year is out—the NX713 and NX813. They're of that beautiful "monolithic" design (stand sold separately!) and are slimmer with smaller bezels.
A few details are listed in the press release below, but we're still waiting on the nitty-gritty. In the meantime, I can tell you they've got dynamic edge LED backlighting, and on the NX713 Motionflow 100Hz Pro, and Motionflow 200Hz Pro for the NX813. Both models have a base-mounted 2.1 system, and can be adjusted at a 6-degree viewing angle.
Hold out for the full tech specs, along with dating and pricing, which I've already asked Sony for.
UPDATE: The NX713 has gone live on Sony's UK website, with specs here.
