Product Description

Sony KDL-40S5100 - 40" BRAVIA LCD TV - widescreen - 1080p (FullHD) - HDTV - piano black

Step up to Full HD 1080p resolution and stunning contrast without breaking the bank. The KDL-40S5100 40-inch BRAVIA S series LCD flat panel HDTV features Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) for an impressive dynamic contrast ratio of 30,000:1 and BRAVIA Engine 2 digital video processor for superior resolution. Plus, 6 HD inputs are provided to connect all of your HD devices including PlayStation 3, Blu-ray Disc player and laptop or desktop.

  • 16:9 Full HD 1080p resolution panel
    16:9 Full HD 1080p resolution panel accepts any HDTV signal and renders it with optimum resolution, so you can take full advantage of Blu-ray Disc players and Sony PlayStation 3 entertainment systems that can deliver 1080p content.
  • Dynamic contrast
    Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) creates a dynamic contrast level by working in real time to produce deep blacks in darker scenes, as well as fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the picture for a difference you can truly see.
  • BRAVIA Engine 2 fully digital video processor
    The BRAVIA Engine 2 fully digital video processor uses a collection of unique Sony technologies to significantly reduce noise, enhance overall image detail, and optimize contrast so every scene produces sharp, vibrant, life-like images and color.
  • HDMI connection x 3
    Get versatile HDMI connection options with three HDMI inputs. Connect a Sony PlayStation 3 entertainment system, Blu-ray Disc player, or any other HDMI-capable equipment and get uncompressed digital video and multi-channel digital audio on a single cable.
  • HD component x 2
    Two YPbPr component inputs provide added HD-capable connectivity, and a PC input offers the added versatility to use your HDTV as a computer monitor.
  • BRAVIA Sync capable
    BRAVIA Sync capability combines the one-touch access and control functionality of BRAVIA Theater Sync with the ability to control CEC-enabled Sony Handycam camcorders and Cyber-shot digital still cameras using the TV's remote and an on-screen display via HDMI connector1, 2.
  • 24p True Cinema
    24p True Cinema support provides a direct connection to 24p video sources, avoiding conversions and allowing users to enjoy films at their intended 24 fps (frames per second) cinematic picture quality when using a 24p-capable output device.
  • Energy Star 3.0 certified
    Sony BRAVIA S-series HDTVs exceed Energy Star 3.0 requirements by incorporating advanced power saving features such as Light Sensor technology that adjusts backlight intensity based on ambient room lighting conditions and dynamic backlight control that adjusts backlight intensity based on the brightness of the image on the screen.
  • VESA compatible hole spacing
    VESA compatible hole spacing uses an industry-standard mounting hole pattern that can be used with VESA-compliant mounting brackets, taking the guesswork out of selecting the proper hardware for hanging your TV on the wall.

    !!wow!! April 18, 2009

    I was in the market for an LCD television, i held of on a lot of good models because i knew the prices were going down at some point. I don't know if people are like me that are always looking for the best brands like sony, samsung, and a couple more, but when i saw this model at this price i knew this was the one. you can't beat its feature, 1080p, 3 hdmi inputs(i don't have to be changing hdmi's back and forth), 24p cinema, Ace and on top of everything is also an Energy Star. I don't know about you but this tv had me at hello.

    VERY DISAPOINTING October 10, 2009

    I was told that sony was the best to buy, i read about the picture going from light to dark, but it also said it could be fixed by sony, however even after the instillation it still was a problem. Called sony they wanted to give me a refubished  tv after buying a new sony. Very disappointed. But after speaking to a supervisor they are sending me out new tv, i hope it's better than the one i had. Would not recomend sony 40"bravia

    Sony Bravia- Bravo Sony!!! March 21, 2011
    By Stephbinks of Bonney Lake, WA
    Pros:
    Easy to Use,Easy to hookup,Picture Quality,Design,Sound Quality,Value for Money

    We recently purchased this tv after shopping around for a few months. We had seen many great reviews about the Sony Bravia tvs, but they are priced slightly higher than some other tvs. Well you get what you pay for with this tv! The picture is great and we love it! The design of the tv is so clean and sleek looking. We want to get another for our bedroom now!

    Bravia KDL40S5100 is brilliant, with fantastic front sound ! January 18, 2011
    By Pettibone of Columbus, OH
    Pros:
    Easy to Use,Easy to hookup,Picture Quality,Design,Sound Quality,Multiple HD outlets

    With 1080p , 60 hertz, and front facing dolby speaker system, this flatscreen LCD Sony 40" makes even my old DVDs and VHS come alive! Just watched "Alladin" on VHS and you can hear all the jokes. My HD cable is not yet installed but standard cable image is really quite passable in standard screen mode. My previous Samsung flatscreen (took back) made this DVD look like live TV news when it upgraded the signal to 1080 p. Now it looks natural like film again. Cant wait to see the HD signals or blueray on the Bravia. So many color options you can tweak the picture exactly as you want it, and the remote has separate buttons for screen and input which allows you to easily switch between options and sources with one or two pushes on the buttons. I looked at over a million TV's and this one is just brilliant. Only down side is no USB port. Well, gotta get back to my DVD, "House of Flying Daggers". The musical score and the clarity of the birds in the background make this audiophile happy without a sound bar or surround system. I will call Sony to upgrade the software as one review here noted (and i noticed) sometimes the auto light sensor darkens the picture unnecessarily for a few seconds. 1 year P&L warranty is a plus. Sears is also a good place to shop . Miejer had this unit on clearance recently.

    Sony BRAVIA beautiful TV; It's like it's from the future! September 16, 2010
    By sonicfanrs of Mendota, IL
    Pros:
    Easy to Use,Easy to hookup,Value for Money,Design

    I recently purchased this TV and I am constantly amazed at both the Sound and Video quality; the pixels seem to literally dance on the screen.

    It is a very sleek design and has many great feature -- I can hook up all my video games and my Blueray player without having to crawl behind the tv and unplug something each time I wish to use a different console.

    Another great feature is I can plug my laptop right into it, and use the TV as a monitor; this works wonders for displaying pictures to friends and family.

    I really have nothing bad to say about this television; it is a truely sleek and beautiful design, as well as amazing picture and audio quality.

    I would rate this product 5 of 5 stars, and recommend it to anyone interested in purchasing a new HD television set.
