CrunchGear —
Sony isn’t typically known for aggressive pricing, but the company will apparently be rolling out a value-priced line of 32- and 40-inch LCD TVs early next year.
According to DigiTimes:
“The B series, including 32- and 40-inch models, will be priced lower than its current S series entry-level models in order to help the vendor regain its position in the global LCD TV market, the sources noted, adding that the price of a 32-inch B series Sony LCD TV is estimated at about NT$15,000 (US$462.96) or even lower.”

About.com Home Theater —
... Sony has decided to gamble on what it perceives as the "low end" of the market with a new line of budget-priced "B Series" LCD sets. Although specifications and retail outlets for the "B Series" have not been announced, my guess is these sets will not feature 120Hz refresh rates, LED backlight, or media player technologies, which are being implemented in some mid-range and many higher-end sets. To find out more details, and how it may affect consumers, check out the report from Digitimes and ...
Is a new, cheaper Sony LCD TV line in the works?
Consumer Reports Electronics Blog —
... According to a report on the DigiTimes website, Sony is developing an inexpensive "B-series" LCD TV line designed to compete with lower-cost competitors, such as Vizio.
The website says the new B-series line will include lower-priced 40- and 32-inch sets, which could spur price cuts by Sony's competitors.
