Sony 32" BRAVIA S Series Black LCD Flat Panel HDTV, Model KDL32S5100

Full HD 1080p resolution and stunning contrast are now in reach with Sony® BRAVIA® S-Series Flat Panel HDTVs. BRAVIA S-Series HDTVs offer the superior resolution and dynamic contrast, advanced image processing features, and variety of HD input options available on high-end BRAVIA HDTVs – at a great value.

Features:

  • 16:9 Full HD 1080p Resolution Panel (1920x1080)
    16:9 Full HD 1080p resolution panel (1920x1080) 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 (30,000:1)
    Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) creates a dynamic contrast level by working in real time to produce 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
  • 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
  • HDMI™ connection x 3 (1080/60p capable)
    Get versatile HDMI connection options with three HDMI inputs (up to 1080/60p input capable). 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
  • HD Component x 2 (1080/60i capable)
    Two YPbPr Component inputs (1080/60i capable) provide added HD-capable connectivity, and a PC input3 (HD-15 pin) offers the added versatility to use your HDTV as a computer monitor
  • BRAVIA® Link compatibility
    BRAVIA Link compatibility expands your HDTV’s capabilities by letting you connect optional BRAVIA Link modules, including the BRAVIA DVD Link, BRAVIA Wireless Link, and BRAVIA Input Link (all sold separately)
  • BRAVIA® Sync™ capable
    BRAVIA Sync capability combines the one-touch access and control functionality of BRAVIA Theatre 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 via HDMI connector
  • 24p True Cinema™
    24p True Cinema support 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
  • Favorites Menu
    The Favorites Menu function makes it easy to quickly access your favorite channels and video inputs
  • Energy Star® 3.0 Certified
    Sony® 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
  • 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

This set compares very favorably to my older but still great Sharp Aquos. I still consider the Sharp Aquos to be the best choice but this is a terrific set for both screen size and quality of picture and sound. It is used in the living room for daily cable TV viewing and occasional movie viewing. So far there are no negative comments to be made.

Reviewed by smeagz (Enthusiast) from Chicago, IL on Nov 22, 2009
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I've researched for reviews on this tv and have read many complaints about the sound quality. There are many people out there who expects so much out of an lcd tv speaker. The speakers works just fine for watching regular tv. For gaming and movies, I have this setup to sony speakers and woofer. The only complaint I have is that there is only one hdmi connection in the back and 2 on the side. The hdmi cable sticking out on the side is a bit tacky.

Great TV
Reviewed by Steve (Casual User) from Skokie, IL on May 22, 2009
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This TV is pretty much used for everything. Whether it's movies, video games or just regular antenna or cable, the TV is up to the task. The only nagging issue is that when the screen is displaying something that doesn't have much color (i.e. a black loading screen for video games) the screen becomes darker. I think it's part of the active lighting system or just and energy conservation system, but it can get annoying if you're playing video games and like you're driving through a tunnel. It's a small nagging issue, but it's the only reason why i didn't give the TV a perfect score. Overall though, I'm very happy with the purchase and look forward to using this unit for a long time.
