You may have seen the new Motionflow TV ad featuring Brazilian football star, Kaka being projected via the BRAVIA-Drome – the world’s largest zoetrope.
The Sony Motionflow range also offers a 100Hz LCD TV which impresses also but it is the 200Hz model which is sure to be very popular as Sony look to take the TV market to another level yet again.
Although fairly highly priced, with the 40 inch from 1,849 to the 52 inch from 2,649, the Motionflow is well worth forking out for as it provides a crispness of viewing pleasure that will leave you glued to the screen all evening. Not advisable for families with obese children!
