Sony KDL-V5100 review: Sony KDL-V5100

 

Sony KDL-V5100

Produces relatively deep black levels; accurate color in bright areas; solid dejudder processing in Standard mode; numerous picture controls; plenty of connectivity with four HDMI, two component-video and one PC input.

Dark areas tinged bluish; must engage dejudder to enable antiblur; pedestrian design; less uniform screen.

The commendable picture quality of Sony's entry-level 120Hz-equipped LCD makes it a very good value.

Sony Bravia KDL-52V5100 LCD HDTV Review - Intro

 

The Sony Bravia KDL-52V5100 is one of their newest LCD televisions. At 52-inches in size and costing $2,299 it won't be an impulse purchase for anyone, but if you're looking for a large HDTV you could do a lot worse than the KDL-52V5100. That's not to...

Sony KDL-52V5100 review – Budget TV

 

The largest size in this series is 52 inch, and you also get this TV in 40 and 46 inch mode. This review will apply to all three of them. Sony KDL-52V5100 belongs to the entry level line up, it is the least expensive model and comes with a 120 HZ...

Black level production is relatively deep ; In the bright areas, color is accurate ; Standard mode has good dejudder processing ; Lots of picture controls ; Plenty of options for connectivity – 4 HDMI, 1 VGA, 2 component video

Areas which are dark tinge bluish ; To enable the antiblur, dejudder must be engaged

This is an entry level TV from Sony and we thought the picture quality was quite commendable. Buy this if you are on a stiff budget.

Sony KDL-52XBR9 LCD HDTV

 

I'm old enough to remember when Sony introduced its first XBR models, which were top-of-the-line CRT TVs. Since then, the company has continued to use XBR in the model designation of its flagship flat panels, adding a number to indicate each new...

One piece of good news is that many of the picture-related menus under Settings have been consolidated in the Picture Adjust menu, which makes it much easier to tweak the picture controls for each input. The aspect ratio and related settings are in a...

Sony Bravia KDL-52V5100

 

An upper midrange LCD TV thats falling a little short compared to other Sony and Samsung in the higher price range and that doesn't offer much more then the cheaper LCD TVs from Sony/LG/Panasonic/Samsung. I might sound harsh here in …

Excellent TV

 

I have owned my Tv for only a week now. And coming from a DLP tv that I had absolutely loved, this is the best picture I have ever seen in my life. I work for a major cable company and the sound issue is with your cable box. All audio is louder when...

Great Picture and Blu-rays are unbelievable! No motion blur like with what I have seen with other 120hz Tvs
