Features

16:9 Full HD 1080p Resolution Panel (1920x1080) - 16:9 Full HD 1080p resolution panel (1920 x 1080) 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 (all sold separately).

Motionflow™ 120Hz technology - Engineered for fast-action sports, movies, and games, Motionflow 120Hz technology reduces judder and blurriness. Overall, motion is smoother, sharper, and more natural when watching your favorite HD content, DVDs, and even broadcast movies and prime-time programming.

High-efficiency HCFL backlight - The 52-inch diagonal VE5 HDTV features an HCFL (Hot Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlight, which uses specialized components to provide optimum brightness as soon as you turn on the HDTV and to reduce power consumption by up to 65% over Energy Star 3.0 requirements. In fact, the KDL-52VE5 consumes only about 115 watts – less than many incandescent light bulbs.

Dynamic contrast - Dynamic contrast involves real-time image processing that results in 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.

Conserve energy with Presence Sensor - The Presence Sensor helps you conserve energy when you forget to turn off the VE5 HDTV. If the Presence Sensor detects that you've been away from your HDTV for 5, 30, or 60 minutes, the backlight will automatically turn off, but the volume will remain on so you can still hear the sound. If you don't return after the display has been off for 30 minutes, the VE5 turns completely off.

Energy-saving standby power switch - The new Energy Saving Switch, located on the side panel of the VE5, enables your HDTV to consume zero power when it's in standby mode, effectively eliminating the use of unnecessary power when you're not watching TV.

LightSensor® technology - An integrated light sensor gauges the ambient light in the room and raises or lowers the brightness of the HDTV's backlight based on room lighting conditions. Dim the lights to watch a movie, and the light sensor also dims the backlight, reducing unnecessary power consumption even further.

Dynamic Backlight Control - The Dynamic Backlight Control feature adjusts the brightness of the backlight both to optimize image quality and to reduce power consumption. It works in real time, optimizing for both bright outdoor images and dark interior shots scene-by-scene for even greater power savings.

BRAVIA Engine™ 2 fully digital video processor - The BRAVIA Engine 2 fully digital video processor uses a collection of unique Sony® algorithms to significantly reduce noise, enhance overall image detail, and optimize contrast so every scene produces sharp, vibrant, life-like images.

BRAVIA® Sync™ capable1 - 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 HDTV's remote and an on-screen display via an HDMI™ connection.

HD input x 7 - Get versatile HD connection options with seven HD inputs. Four HDMI™ inputs (up to 1080/60p capable) let you connect a Sony® PlayStation®3 entertainment system, Blu-ray Disc™ player, or any other HDMI-capable equipment (all sold separately) and get uncompressed digital video and multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. An HD component input and an HD combo input (1080/60i capable) provide added HD-capable connectivity, and a PC input (HD-15 pin) offers the added versatility of using your HDTV as a computer monitor.

USB with photos and music - Connect your camera, USB-enabled MP3 player, or USB storage device directly to your HDTV's USB input to view photos on the big screen or listen to your favorite music.

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).

24p True Cinema™ - 24p True Cinema mode 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 True Cinema 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, video inputs, and digital images to share with family and friends.

ATSC™/NTSC tuner with QAM - A built-in ATSC/NTSC tuner with QAM delivers over-the-air digital TV and unencrypted HDTV broadcast signals, as well as traditional analog TV broadcasts.

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 HDTV on the wall. Wall mount bracket sold separately.
