In a gorgeous lacquered black finish, the Sony Bravia KDL40W5810 looks as good as the images it produces.
This top class TV features 1080p true high definition. Add in clever 24p True Cinema technology, and when the KDL40W5810 is connected to a Blu-Ray disc player, it displays the original 24 frames per second just as the camera first recorded them. So you see and hear exactly what was intended.
Sony’s updated Bravia 3 picture enhancement engine, in conjunction with an Advanced Contrast Enhancer, ensures you’ll always experience incredibly clear and defined images, with 100Hz technology reducing flicker.
If you have a digital camera, why not take advantage of the Picture Frame mode? This presents your snaps in HD quality using a picture setting that recaptures the warm characteristics of film. You can even share your favourite photos, music or videos on the big screen with the easy-to-use USB Media Player.
Great picture quality is also matched by great audio with S-Front surround sound technology. It creates an atmospheric, enveloping surround sound effect from just two built-in speakers. You can even alter the volume of voices without changing the background volume with the nifty Voice Zoom feature. This is great for focussing on your favourite singer, or when you want to keep an annoying commentary to a minimum!
And let’s not forget that the Sony KDL40W5810 is also DNLA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compatible. This enables you to access your photos, music and movies from your PC across your home network from a compatible device. For instance, you could play your friends the latest MP3 track you’ve just downloaded, even though your computer is upstairs in the spare bedroom.
An integrated digital TV tuner means you’ll have access to a wide selection of Freeview channels and radio stations. The KDL40W5810 also arrives with a matching table top stand.
This television is ‘high definition ready’ which means it has the ability to display high definition signals with the addition of a separate HD receiver. HD broadcasts are at a much higher resolution than regular analogue or digital broadcasts and have greatly enhanced picture quality. The level of detail is astonishing with clearer, sharper and more vibrant images.
Full HD 1080p
1080p is the purest form of high definition that a television can display. This leads to a smoother, more film-like image, which will satisfy sports and movie lovers alike. With a 1080p signal, the information that makes up an image is displayed “progressively” or all at once, rather than in an “interlaced” fashion.
