The new Sony BRAVIA D3000 series LCD HDTV with Motionflow +100Hz technology start to ship in Europe.

We reported about the Sony D3000 HDTVs in March, when Sony introduces the new series at the Sony Media Experience in Rhodes. The selling point on the D3000 is the 100Hz technology and the visible improvement on long camera moves in movies. The D3000 also supports 24p True Cinema for Blu-ray movies.

The only issue with the D3000 series is the resolution. These new Sony HDTVs do not support full HDTV resolution. The sets only features a WXGA panel with 1,366 x 768px. The D3000 is the only choice though right now if you want Motionflow +100Hz. The 1080p Sony HDTVs do not have that feature yet.

Other features of the D3000 series include 3 HDMI ports, S-Force Front Surround technology, BRAVIA Theatre Sync, x.v.Color and integrated digital tuner.
