Sony BRAVIA KDL-46S5100 Great Value

Posted: Aug 27, 2009 |Comments: 0 | Views: 228 |

Normally, when there is an LCD fanboy war, the fight is reduced between Samsung and Sony. Sony tend to have better reception than blacks, while Samsung [aka Sammy] are cited as the most accurate color.

I had a 46V4100 [last year, V-Series a step over the range S], and there was a solid performer who has suffered from problems of substance mixed.

After several rounds of research, I decided to give another chance to Sony. At one time of purchasing a HDTV must accept that there will be no compromise.

For an input level that is established, the S5100 does not disappoint. Yes, SD content seems incomplete because of the enormous expansion of the company. This is true in any 1080p set. And compression of the cable and satellite means that companies will use the power of compression artifacts on the edges of HD content.

But from an image, the colors are accurate, the shadow detail is good and the angles of a LCD monitor is excellent.

Physically, all is beautiful in a functional way, but not the design pizzazz. In addition, the bezel is a reflection. I know that I do it for the manufacturers of their products look nice and bright, but the position of all in my room cause significant glare on the rear-left thought it was serious until the bleeding Backlight I looked more closely.


The brightness of the display itself is that most LCD screens, no reflection as a plasma, but still cast a reflection on you. Probably not the best choice for a room with a large amount of direct sunlight. I have a TV in a room under a ceiling fan and the reflection is noticeable but not distracting. But the debate is far from being as widespread as you’d expect from an LCD.

I think that this reflection with the help of the screen viewing angle, however. I’m sitting 6 feet to the left and 2 meters in front of the TV and colors are almost as lively as if you were sitting right in front. This LCD is one of the few who could challenge plasma viewing angle. Usually, you get 50 degrees from the center of the LCD and the image is washed out.

Sony xcross [pronounced "cross"] menu [used in the PS3 and PSP] is not in the S5100. I do not think a big loss, and you will receive a remote control button “tools” that allows you to access frequently used functions, without using the menu. The interface is attractive and easy to use.

Television has a lot of connectivity. 3 HDMI, PC input [9-pin, no DVI], 2 component, digital audio digital audio … you have the idea. 2 HDMI ports and PC are on the left side panel, set back far enough to protect the sockets. It seems a strange design choice.

Finally, I will admit there are some substantive issues [2 "lantern" areas], but unlike the V4100, I must look to the notification.

If you want a great set and you’re on a budget is really a game worth observing. I warn you it is very basic, no extras on the TV. Therefore, SD, no internet, no picture in picture, no Motionflow 120/240

These questions are not for me. In my opinion, most “features” exist to allow TV manufacturers for the new film and television to create each year, the profit after expenses of people who want toys. I am willing to bet that the picture and sound experience pure [ie not MotionFlow] this series is the equal of the series V5100 $ 200 – $ 500 less.

PS I apologize for not being able to check the sound, but I connected to a receiver.

    I was just on Samsung LN46B630 TV this afternoon, and the installation is very simple. There are many HDMI inputs (three rear, one side), and luckily there are also composite video inputs (two, both in the back), and the style of the old RCA video output (including the sides). The game also allows for USB, PC-out, optical digital audio input. You can also connect the application to the local network using a standard Ethernet connection (sorry kids, but not WiFi).

    Price: I can not find a better value in the market, not after the Amazon BD22U HP for a free Sharp Aquos Blu Ray, not to mention the delivery and VAT zero! Consumer Reports is the best value in its class, which itself has said that a good product at a price. Try to find another 46 “LCD, you get 4 HDMI ports, 70,000:1 contrast ratio, 6ms response time, good and reliable brand attached to it. You can not beat this product cost.

    I do not want to boast about the product they have. There are only 2 weeks, the product is still bothered me. I’ll update this in a month if you do. I have not tried all its features – You can get more information about CNET. However, this TV has impressed me more than other options I had.

    I made a lot of reading, decisions very closely, and many new treatments before they finally decided to choose Samsung TV for my first HDTV. This has proved an excellent time to enter the land of HDTV, as they come and past 60MHz LED LCD TV comes with the reduction rate of conventional LCD TVs.

At first I thought it would be too big for the room was 10 feet inches and somewhat ‘I was overwhelmed. But after having given more time and love the image so I am completely satisfied and very satisfied with this purchase.
