Key Technologies

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 40-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 over 50% versus Energy Star 3.0 requirements in Home Mode. In fact, the KDL-40VE5 consumes only 90 watts -- as little as an incandescent light bulb.

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.
