Sony's 2017 LCD TV lineup starts with the X800E, shown here in a 43-inch size ($1000). Like all Sony smart TVs it uses Google Android TV operating system.

Here Sony's rep demonstrates control using the TV remote and Google Assistant, coming later this year.

The larger X850E models include this 65-inch set for $2500.

The full series includes the 43-inch XBR-43X800E ($1000), 49-inch XBR-49X800E ($1100), 55-inch XBR-55X800E ($1900), 65-inch XBR-65X850E ($2500), and 75-inch XBR-75X850E ($5000). These sets lack local dimming but, like all of the the step-up models, do handle HDR10 content and claim a wide color gamut.

The step-up X900E models include full-array local dimming and rang in size from 49 to 75 inches.

Successors to the excellent Sony XBR-65X930D, the X930E/X940E promise even better image quality.

Sony didn't announce pricing on its A1E series OLED TV, but I'm guessing it won't be cheap.

Sony used a side-by-side demo with the A1E and a 2016 LG G6 OLED TV to show the advantages of its video processing. I'll reserve judgement until I can compare them in CNET's lab.

Sony also showed off its $25,000 VPL-VZ1000ES.

With 4K resolution and HDR, it can deliver a relatively bright 100-inch image.
