46" BRAVIA VE5 Eco Series HDTV

46" BRAVIA VE5 Eco Series HDTV
Eco-centric DesignGo green without sacrificing picture quality. The 46" VE5 features a high-efficiency HCFL backlight that provides optimum brightness and reduces power consumption up to 50 percent versus Energy Star 3.0 requirements. In fact, this set consumes only 90 watts, which is as little as an incandescent light bulb.



Your Presence is RequiredIf Elvis left the room, the VE5 would know. This HDTV has a Presence Sensor which detects if you've stepped away from your TV and automatically turns the picture off. If after 30 minutes, the sensor still doesn't detect movement in the room, the set turns off completely.



Flip the Switch to Save PowerDid you know that most TVs consume power even when turned off? The VE5 is equipped with a new Energy Saving Switch which reduces power consumption of the TV to zero when you're not watching television.



A Smarter Way to Watch TVImagine a TV that reduces power consumption based on your viewing environment. Dim the lights to watch a movie and the integrated Light Sensor automatically adjusts to your room's ambient light and lowers the brightness of the TV's backlight to conserve energy.



Made For Fast-moving ActionEnjoy a more fluid, natural and realistic viewing experience while watching fast-action sports and movies. Motionflow™ 120Hz technology enhances sharpness and delivers smooth motion for fast-action pictures.



Bring Your Picture to LifeEvery scene will be sharper, more vibrant and life-like thanks to BRAVIA Engine™ 2 fully digital video processor. This unique technology optimizes contrast and enhances overall image detail while significantly reducing noise.



Customize Your TVWirelessly transmit HD audio and video, attach a DVD player behind your TV, or add four additional HDMI™ ports. With optional BRAVIA Link modules, a better viewing experience is yours for the making.

Product Reviews







I searched a lot of stores looking at TV's before I settled on this one. The picture is even better that I thought and most of the time we can't believe what we are seeing, it is so clear almost like you are there. Picture quality is good from all angles and I have my cable box and my Sony Blue Ray player hooked up to HDMI and only wish the rest of my equipment had HDMI connections. I have had no problems with the HDMI connections. We both love this TV.




This HDTV is an excellent value! When compared to other TVs on the Best Buy display wall, this set clearly had deeper black levels than any other sets in the price range. While the picture quality is great, audio quality is sub-par. The set's speakers protrude from a lip on the bottom, which avoids the muffling that can occur when the speakers are set aimed at the wall behind the TV as in some other sets. However, if you are looking for clear audio with pounding bass, this set does not deliver. I would highly recommend buying a separate audio system. Connectivity on the TV is similar to other models. While not as energy efficient, thin or impressive looking as Samsung's LED TV's, it's definitely nice to brag that I didn't have to pay $4500 for a TV. Overall, this set exceeds my expectations. I never expected to purchase an HDTV of this quality at such a low price.




 I had 4 Sony HD Tvs prior to this one and this one replaced a 50" XBR1SXRD TV. I have been extremely happy with all my Sony sets prior to this one. I also bought a 32" S class at the same time. Using HDMI and 2 Dish Network Sat boxes the sound cones on about 3 seconds after the picture when you switch to it's input or un-pause the action. Sony techs have been out and say the TV is using advanced technology that the Sat boxes aren't yet which is causing the problem. The picture starts whiting out the instant you move to the side and more than any other Sony LCD I have seen. I would only recommend this TV if you don't use HDMI and you only sit directly in front of it.



Samsung Plasma TV PS42B430P2

Samsung Plasma TV   PS42B430P2

Balancing technology and design like never before, the SAMSUNG Plasma TV SERIES 4 provides a passionately premium multimedia experience. Movies, sports, and games surge to life on its screen, opening the door to unlimited possibilities.




Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio






True cinematic clarity is achieved by the incredible Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio, which saturates every image with rich detail and enhanced intensity. Capable of creating pure black and pristine white tones, SAMSUNG Plasma TVs expand the spectrum to provide colours that burst from the screen.18bit (262,144 gradation)






SAMSUNG PDP TV's 18-bit processing capacity broadens the colour palette to deliver unbelievably natural & true colours. 100Hz Motion Plus






100Hz Motion Plus technology doesn't simply repeat images to make extra frames, it intelligently estimates the action, then creates and inserts an extra frame between frames to create a much more comfortable viewing experience.

High-Definition Multimedia Interface™ (HDMI™) enables simple and easy connection of digital devices with a single cable that transfers uncompressed audio and visual contents without data loss. FilterBright™ technology

In bright environments, the display quality of plasma TV can be weakened by external light. You might have seen colours on the screen that were blurred or unclear when watching TV in the daytime. Black or dark areas of the image, in particular, often fade away.

SAMSUNG's Super Black Panel absorbs external light and minimises reflection for high picture clarity and darker black expression. So customers can enjoy clearer details in dark scenes in any lighting conditions.600Hz subfield motion






SAMSUNG Plasma TVs achieve faster, more fluid moving images due to the fact that they have more subfields per second than any other plasma display. With 600 subfields in every second, they deliver images that appear seamless, smooth, and stunningly natural.response time 0.001ms







No matter how fast the action, SAMSUNG Plasma TVs are ready to perform. The response time 0.001ms equals to light speed

that creates clear and non-blur scenes at the highest speed.intelligent power saving






Environmentally-friendly TV with new power saving mode

The New SAMSUNG Plasma made significant improvement in the power efficiency by optimised cell structure and highly efficient fluorescent substance. Power consumption is reduced by 50% from '07 comparable model's. Furthermore, Energy saving mode provides additional savings up to 36%.Features and specifications are subject to change without prior notification.

feature brings out all the shades of grey. A Wide Colour Enhancer

This enables the TV to display a wider range of natural colours

There's a big difference between seeing the game and seeing every split second of it. That's where Auto Motion Plus 200Hz technology comes in. All the action in every frame is analysed and then adjusted so nothing goes by in a blur. From quarterbacks to cyber warrior, the action is always smooth, sharp and fluid.

After analysing each pixel, it stretches them to their 3-dimensional limit. What you get is the fullest, most lifelike colours you've ever seen -- on a TV that is.
