DigiTimes.com reports that the 'B series,' which will include 32-inch and 40-inch models, will be priced lower than Sony's current S series entry-level models. By example, the manufacturer's suggested price on a 32-inch LCD set could be as low as $462, which is about 25 percent less than the company's current 32-inch models.

Sony was once the market leader in the TV category, but in recent years, the company has been bypassed by Samsung, Panasonic and even relative newcomer Vizio in total sales.
