While keeping 4K at the core, each series in the new XBR line is designed to attack different consumers with options that help differentiate them. This includes different set of speaker configurations and sizes. After the jump, we take a look at the 2014 Sony 4K television line features.

While what you’re looking at is final design and specs for each series, Sony has yet to reveal a price or release date, instead sticking to a vague Spring launch. It’s believed that the 85X950B will fall in line with the outgoing 84X900A prices and the same for the X900B line which will replace the smaller, outgoing X900A series.
