Review Of The Sony KDL40W5810

By William Jones


If it's true that you can never be too thin or too rich, then the Sony KDL40W5810 has success nailed. Within its slim black casing this model is rich with some of the manufacturer's latest improvements.

For many people, the big news from Sony will be the manufacturer's efforts to reduce its environmental impact. To that end, the Sony KDL40W5810 TV and its packaging are made from recycled materials, thus ensuring that the set and packaging can also be recycled. Sony also uses the new "Eco" technology found in other LCD TVs to detect light levels in the room and dim the brightness in response, reducing energy usage by as much as 30 percent. Those who log a lot of time in front of the TV may even see a savings on their electricity bills.

Once the digital image is captured, the Sony KDL40W5810 employs two features to display the most vivid, lifelike pictures: Advanced Contrast Enhancer and Live Color. Advanced Contrast Enhancer deepens the colour black so that's doesn't look grey or brown, while Live Color intensifies greens and reds to create realistic colours. Live Color adjusts to high, medium and low levels, and can be disabled if the viewer prefers to adjust colours manually. Plus, Sony Bravia KDL40W5810 has installed Real Cinema, a software program that shows movies at 24 frames per second, just like at the theatre. This is particularly impressive for showing Blu-Ray movies on the set.

The Sony KDL40W5810 sports a 1080-pixel resolution for its high-definition screen, a ratio that creates the clearest picture among LCD TVs. This model includes an integrated digital tuner and Freesat, a system to access digital radio and broadcast channels without needing to subscribe to a cable provider.

Many consumers will be most impressed by the news that the Sony KDL40W5810 TV substantially reduces its environmental impact. Recycled materials were used to produce both the set and its packaging, so that both can be recycled again when they've outlived their usefulness. Sony also has included the power-saving "Eco technology in the Sony KDL40W5810. Using a light sensor to detect the room's ambient light, Eco reduces brightness on the TV, thus using less power. This feature may even save viewers money on their power bills if they happen to watch lots of TV shows and movies.

Another major improvement is that this model is no stand-alone TV set. Thanks to a USB port, the set can be connected to computers, digital camera and camcorders, PCs, laptops and even flash drives. This means that any digital data, whether still photos, videos, music, or other information, can be uploaded and viewed on the TV screen. With Picture Frame mode still photos and user-recorded videos can be displayed on the big TV screen.

Sony also has included its Applicast software to link the TV to Sony's Internet channel, where downloadable widgets will allow viewers to access online information such as weather forecasts, stock reports and more.

With this wide array of features, it's easy to see why this model is high on many shopping lists. The combination of high-quality sound, vivid color, picture clarity and high-tech connections make the Sony KDL40W5810 a top contender for high-definition LCD television consumers everywhere.
