This connectivity is crucial for those looking to enhance their entertainment systems with the latest technology. Additionally, the WS series supports various audio-video formats, giving users flexibility in how they enjoy their content.

Another key feature is the incorporation of a 3D-ready capability, making these TVs future-proof for a time when 3D content was gaining traction. This aspect attracted cinema enthusiasts who wanted to bring an enhanced experience home. The models also include a built-in digital tuner, allowing users to access over-the-air broadcasts without needing an external box.

The WS-65615 and WS-65515 models additionally boast a stylish and slim design that fits well within modern living spaces, combining aesthetics with functionality. Their lightweight construction allows for easier installation and setup.
