  • 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
    Dynamic contrast involves real-time image processing that results in 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.
  • Motionflow 120Hz technology
    Motionflow 120HZ technology doubles the frame rate to help remove judder in film sources, HD content, and broadcast movies and primetime programming, creating smoother, more fluid motion that delivers a natural and realistic viewing experience.
  • 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.
  • HD input x 7
    Get versatile HD connection options with seven HD inputs. Four HDMI inputs let you 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. An HD component input and an HD combo input provide added HD-capable connectivity, and a PC input2 (HD-15 pin) offers the added versatility of using your HDTV as a computer monitor.
  • USB with photos and music
    Connect your camera, USB-enabled MP3 player, or USB storage device directly to your HDTV's USB input to view photos on the big screen or listen to your favorite MP3s.
  • 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.
  • Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) with dynamic backlight control
    This powerful combination of features adjusts the brightness of the backlight both to optimize image quality and reduce power consumption. It works in real time, controlling bright outdoor images and dark interior shots scene by scene for better video quality and a reduction in power use.
  • Energy Star 3.0 certified
    Sony V-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.
  • 24p True Cinema
    24p True Cinema mode 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, such as a Blu-ray Disc player or Sony PlayStation 3 entertainment system.
  • 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.

    Great Deal for an awesome TV!!!! August 07, 2009

    This is a great TV. When it comes to HD Sony is the BEST!! After researching for around 2 months and trying to find the best deal. I finally got it at SEARS for the BEST PRICE !!! No other retailers could beat the price until now..even online only retailers. BTW.. Ibought this TV a month back. Ordered Online at sears and picked up in-store after 2 days.

    My only regret is shoudl have bought 46'' ;). Its a really good TV and the base model in the SONY 120Hz Tv series. I did not want to buy the S series because, it was not 120Hz. I compared V5100 agains the W and Z series. If you do not care about deep color, ethernet connection, widgets and audio, This is the TV to BUY.

    The Audio is very good on this TV too..but u can always buy better audio sytem.You can spend the extra 400-500 dollars on buying a PS3 and audio system. If you need deep color get W series and supplement it with PS3, you will have Blueray, Games, Internet and many more features. BTW PS3 is awesome !!!! Highly recommend it to someone, who is plannig to by Blueray player.

    About the TV itself. I am very satisfied with it. The picure is very crisp, audio is very good ..easy to set up and navigate. Definetly worth the money!!

    It is 1080p, most of the cable and satellite networks do not transmit in 1080p(except directv....i guess). But still the picure quality is awesome on HD as it enchances the video. Even with SD signal...the picture is good. Not much blurryness compared to other TV brands. You will have to use Blueray to experince the full true HD quality.

    Did not expect sony to follow the rest of the brands with Gloss finish. It's lil distracting.

    stay away from Sony December 02, 2009

    Everything worked well for the first 6 months after which the picture quality deteriorated. Sony support is one of the worst customer service depts I have come across. You are lucky if the TV works well, if not nothing is going to help you recover the lost money. Did not expect a sony product to fail in the first 6 months.
