Sony KDL-46VE5 LCD HDTV Review - Intro

 

The Sony KDL-46VE5 ($1799 MSRP) tries to make its name in the "eco-friendly" category. It offers acceptable performance, but little else. Sure, you can trust the Sony name to an extent, but there are better TVs within and without the brand.

The Sony KDL-46VE5 is a decent television, but its flaws can't be ignored. The contrast ratio is great, and a point in its favor. However, the color curves were not smooth, the motion was far from smooth, and the viewing angle was poor. Throw in the...

Sony BRAVIA KDL-46VE5 46" LCD Review

 

The Sony BRAVIA KDL-46VE5 Eco Series lives up to its moniker with a meager 105W power rating. Pair that with a high performance 120Hz LCD and this no-frills 1080p TV is a winner for people who don't want extra features like Internet connectivity.

Sony KDL-46VE5 LCD HDTV Reviewed

 

If you're torn between your love of big-screen TV and your desire to do right by the environment, Sony wants you to know about its new KDL-46VE5. This 46-inch LCD is a more energy-efficient alternative to Sony's other LCD models, with a Presence Sensor...

Motionflow 120Hz technology effectively reduces motion blur and offers multiple settings to tailor the smoothing effect to your liking ; This TV has a 1080p resolution and will accept 24p sources via its HDMI inputs ; The KDL-46VE5 has eco-friendly...

This TV does not use the LED backlighting or 240Hz technology found in higher-end Sony lines ; The 120Hz function doesn't offer separate modes for blur reduction and film judder, so you have to accept Motionflow's smoothing effect if you want to...

Kudos to Sony for pushing the Eco TV concept to the next stage. The KDL-46VE5 adds unique energy-saving options that will appeal to the eco-minded shopper, but it also has desirable HDTV features like a 1080p resolution, Motionflow 120Hz, USB media...

Sony Bravia KDL-46VE5

 

The Sony Bravia KDL-46VE5 is one of the TVs in Sony's "eco series" line-up, but don't count on a construction of wood and moss, powered by zero-carbon hydrogen cells. No, besides a modest power consumption, the 46VE5 doesn't do much to save the earth...

The Sony KDL-46VE5 offers excellent contrast ratio. Of course, it doesn't live up to the bloated 100,000:1 figure that Sony touts on the packaging, but those numbers should never be trusted. In our own lab testing, we found a ratio of 3621:1, which is...

Great TV

 

I think this is a great tv and a really good price. Gave it 4 eggs because of the little things that you can easily see that set this tv apart from the high end tvs. Cnet.com has a really good video review of this tv so check it out if you plan on...

Great blacks and vivid colors. Really clear picture and the presence sensor is very nice, especially if you are like me and fall asleep watching the tv and forget to put on a sleep timer. Noticiable difference going from a 60hz to 120hz lcd tv. Have...

white areas in corners when the screen is showing dark colors or black, I have a stuck red pixel in the top left hand corner but you can get that with any LCD tv

Best TV!

 

I purchased this TV as a bundle with the PS3 from Walmart and fell in love. I was shocked to believe they were actually selling a 46" Sony LCD and a PS3 for that price. The picture is beautiful, the sound is amazing, REAL easy to setup. I only wish the...
