Sony KDL-VE5 review: Sony KDL-VE5

 

Sony KDL-VE5

Novel automatic turn-off function works well; energy efficient; produces relatively deep black levels; mostly accurate color in bright areas; solid dejudder processing in Standard mode; numerous picture controls; plenty of connectivity with four HDMI,...

Somewhat expensive; dark areas tinged bluish; less uniform screen; must engage dejudder to enable antiblur; uninspired design.

Sony's KDL-VE5 series of eco-friendly LCD TVs brings an innovative new power-saving feature to the party, along with respectable picture quality.

Sony KDL-52VE5 – With presence sensor

 

Everything is going 'green' these days and manufacturers are cashing in on the idea by putting some green features in their products. Environmental awareness is now at all time high and the easiest way to grab attention of general public is to have a...

Presence sensor feature works quite well ; Energy efficient ; Bright areas have accurate color ; Black level production is quite accurate ; Standard mode has good dejudder processing ; Lots of picture controls ; Plenty of options for connectivity with...

Expensive as compared to other TVs ; Dark areas tinge a bit blue ; Screen is less uniform ; You might enable the antiblur for engaging the dejudder ; Design is uninspiring

This TV's main selling point is the power saving feature and the picture quality too is respectable. The downside is that the price is a bit high.
