Sony Media Player 4K TV and Pricing
Sony Media Player 4K TV and Pricing
LAS VEGAS — If there is any singular buzzword to describe NAB Show 2013, it's 4K — also known as Ultra HD.
4K made big waves at CES 2013, but it's at NAB Show where the technology is really coming into its own.
In addition to panels and sessions on 4K and other display technologies of the future, there's tons of 4K product on the show floor.
Sony announced pricing and availability of two of its 4K Ultra HDTV sets first unveiled at CES. The XBR-55X90A (55-inch) and the XBR-65X900A (65-inch) will retail for $4,999 and $6,999, respectively, beginning April 21.
Now, $5,000 is a lot of money for a TV, but keep in mind that this is still significantly less than the$40,000 price tag on Samsung's 85-inch stunner.
Of course, the big issue with 4K is content — specifically, where is it? And, when can consumers get it? While that's the subject of much chatter at NAB Show itself, Sony is hoping to ease the content issues with its new FMP-X1 4K Media Player.
The media player isn't cheap — it will cost $699 when it becomes available this summer. The player will come bundled with 10 feature films, including The Amazing Spider-Man, Taxi Driver,Total Recall (the 2012 version) and The Bridge on the River Kwai. This fall, Sony promises that it will have its own fee-based distribution service for 4K films.
What do you think of Sony's pricing on 4K TVs? Let us know in the comments.

Interns selected through this program will get exposure to real-time projects for a period of 6-8 weeks.
The main objective of this program is to introduce selected students to the emerging technology trends, while developing their career scope in the thriving telecom sector. Final list of interns will be made after selecting top students through a battery of online tests, competency-based screening and panel interviews.
Speaking about the scheme Syed Zulfiqar Ali Zaidi, General Manager Human Resources said, “The Summer Internship Program is all about identifying and nurturing talent. Several of our previous interns have been placed in full time employment at Ufone after the completion of their internships and degree programs in roles within the finance, commercial and technical divisions. This ties in with our business philosophy i.e. when we say ‘it’s all about U’ we actually mean it. Be it our valued customers, our committed staff or our prospective employees, we realize that their growth and satisfaction is critical for us to grow as a Company.”
An entire system of intern management has been set-up within Ufone to not only guide and groom these interns but also to identify high-potential individuals who can be considered for employment within the Company after completion of Summer Internship Program.
The internship program has been carefully designed to ensure that students are provided with high-impact; hands-on training and skill development to further their careers. RF KPI Analysis, Mobile Financial Services and the Mass Market Segment, Social Networking and Online Profile Management, and Process Automation for PMO are some of the areas where the interns will get a chance to work in.
