At last, Sony have come up with a plan to accommodate those customers that wish to upgrade their TV set to a full HD 1080p experience, but at a value that can’t be ignored.
16:9 full 1080p resolution gives an HD TV signal best possible resolution for all uses, whether simply watching TV, or using the KDL-32S5100 for Blu-ray or games.
The S-Series offer superior contrast, resolution and advanced image processing. With a wide range of connectivity options, such as 3 HDMI connections, it is really no problem to bring Blu-ray, games consoles and any other HDMI compatible equipment into the experience and offer uncompressed multi-channel audio and digital video.
It doesn’t stop there. There are more HD connecting options, like YPbPr inputs and a PC input for your PC or laptop to join the party.
The KDL-32S5100 has Bravia sync capability allowing simplistic control of options such as CEC-enabled video cameras and digital still cameras, as long as they are compatible. Control is through the TV’s remote control, simple.
Dynamic Contrast is controlled in real-time by a contrast enhancer. The effect is deeper blacks where needed and more detail in shadows and darker areas generally.
The KDL-32S5100 has a fully digital video processor to improve overall detail of the image, reduce background noise and ensure contrast is optimized, producing vibrant and life-like images.
With a typical attention to detail, Sony has ensured its green credentials by incorporating power saving options. This means the KDL-32S5100 exceeds Energy Star 3.0 requirements. These power saving options help viewing pleasure. Light sensor technology adjusts picture contrast based on ambient light levels in the room and dynamic backlight control judges brightness of the screen image and adjusts backlight as a result.
As a result of using these features your viewing pleasure is increased to a “Home Theater” level, and reduces energy consumption by 60%.
