Sony’s BRAVIA VE5 Eco Series LCD TV

Go green without sacrificing picture quality. Combining energy-saving features with quality picture performance, BRAVIA® VE5 Eco Series HDTVs make other televisions green with envy. The VE5 boasts a high-efficiency HCFL backlight which provides outstanding image quality while exceeding ENERGY STAR® 3.0 requirements by over 50% in Home Mode. An integrated Presence Sensor detects if you've stepped away from your TV for awhile and shuts the picture off. A built-in LightSensor automatically adjusts to your room's ambient light and lowers the brightness of the TV's backlight to conserve energy. Plus, enjoy Full HD 1080p picture quality and smooth motion with Motionflow™ 120Hz refresh rate technology.

Sony Full HD is like no other. With 1920 x 1080 resolution, your audio and video experience reaches its greatest capacity for the most comprehensive experience. Displaying over 2 million pixels, viewers can experience their entertainment, memories and lifestyle in true-to-life depth and range. Take full advantage of Sony’s range of Full HD 1080 products that can deliver 1080p content.

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.

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 favourite HD content, DVDs, and even broadcast movies and prime-time programming.

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.

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.

Movies consist of 24 images per second, and cannot be faithfully reproduced on conventional televisions, resulting in unnatural, jerky movements. But 24p True Cinema displays the 24 progressive images as they should be, in the same sequence as the original film source. Now, you can recreate the visual clarity of cinema-quality movies in the comfort of your own home.

The 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 VE5 consumes less than many incandescent light bulbs.
