Product Description |

Sony’s S-series TVs put amazing picture quality and stunning dynamic contrast in reach for value-oriented consumers who want to step up into the Sony Full HD 1080p experience. These TVs represent the entry-level models in Sony’s large screen offerings in 2009 and offer the superior resolution and contrast, advanced image processing features, and variety of HD input options available on high-end BRAVIA HDTVs -- all in an affordable package. With three HDMI connections, you can hook up a Sony PlayStation3 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. You also have numerous other HD connection options, including YPbPr Component inputs as well as a PC input for using your laptop or desktop PC with your big-screen HDTV. No matter which HD source you use, the exclusive Sony BRAVIA Engine 2 fully digital video processor ensures that images look sharp and brilliant. With BRAVIA Link compatibility, you can easily expand your high-resolution home theatre set-up with optional BRAVIA Wireless Link, BRAVIA DVD Link, or BRAVIA Input Link Modules. And BRAVIA Sync makes controlling everything a snap. Additionally, 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. Utilizing these features can reduce power consumption by up to 60% in a typical home theater environment.

 Sony does it again |
| Review Date: February 3, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Curt Harrington, |
| As with any TV you really do need a sound system to bring this set to life. I love the picture despite what I have read about dimming. I brought home a 52S4100 a few weeks ago and wasn't thrilled. This 5100 displayed scenes of Yosmite as if you were there. My 10 year old XBR 40" now seems unwatchable. |
Did not like the picture quality - ended up taking it back

I bought this TV based on the price and all the great reviews. I didn't think it looked that great in the store but I thought it was probably just their input signal.
I had this TV in my home for 3 weeks and finally ended up taking it back. I had read that LCD's no longer had viewing angle problems, but this one does. It looks good from directly in front of it, but from the sides it looses contrast badly. I wasn't impressed with the black levels either.
I ended up getting a plasma and am much happier. The picture looks the same from any viewing angle with a plasma. |
Awesome TV at a great price

| Can't go wrong with this Sony. HD programming looks crystal-clear, as well as my PS3 games. Like every other LCD/Plasma it really needs a good sound system to make an outstanding home theater experience, but the sound out of the built in speakers is not bad. |
Good quality tv

| This was a replacement purchase Sony tv after the last one got an action figure thrown at it (or through it, actually). We up graded to the 52" and the v-series for the "motion flow" feature. I have yet to see fhis feature in action, but I would recommend this product. I think it is great for the price and with Blu-Ray the Movies are stellar. Picture quality is great. Sound is great. There are 2 HMDI plugs on the side and one in the back. It's a great purchase. I love my tv. |
Good TV, poor user manual.

Upgraded from a rear projection TV. Beautiful picture. Speakers did well for 15' x 17' room. Was thinking about pairing with a home theater system after reading the reviews. after havint this TV for about a mth, decided the sound is good enough for my light TV and movie viewing.
I have to go to on-line manual to find how to label inputs because it was hidden deep in the menus. |
