When it comes to owning a decent TV there are a few options, an LCD, Plasma and an LED. However, there will be a new type of TV to add to that list very soon as information has leaked about Sony’s 2010 / 2011 Roadmap of their OLED and XBR Series LCD TVs.

Let us hope that you have some very deep pockets though, as these new range of TVs will not come cheap. According to Engadget, all of the sets that appear on the roadmap have been listed as prototypes, so some of the TVs on the list could be dropped before they get to retail.

Sony already has the 11-inch XEL-1 OLED TV, but this TV is now two years old and LG have bested this with their 15-inch OLED TV, along with a 20-inch version coming in 2010. Sony have the KDL-ZX marked down in their roadmap, but we are unsure what screen size this will be. According to oled-display.net, they believe that this could be the 21-inch version that was on show at the Japan Display Show 2009.

The most exciting news for those of us who cannot afford an OLED TV is the range of new XBR series; this is Sony’s flagship range. The two that stand out for us is the XBR11 LED W-backlit LCD and XBR12 Advanced LED RGB-backlit LCD, screen sizes will be from 32 to 60-inches.

Both the TVs above will come packed with a host of features, such as the new Bravia Engine 3 PRO, 240Hz Motionflow, UV2A panel technology, HD Video processor and much more. For more details, visit www.hdtvlounge.net
