The KDL-40V5100 is the smallest model in Sony’s V5100 series, which includes 46- and 52-inch siblings. It offers the usual complement of inputs on its side and rear jack panels, including four HDMI connections and two component video connections. It also has a USB connector to access your photo and music files, but it doesn’t have an Ethernet (LAN) terminal for connection to a home network.

The Advanced Contrast Enhancer dynamically adjusts the backlight in response to the image’s characteristics. Sony’s literature claims that the set offers Dynamic Contrast, but unless this is the same as the Advanced Contrast enhancer, I couldn’t find another control that performed this function. We didn’t use the contrast enhancements on any of the sets for the panel tests. More to the point, the Sony’s black level and shadow detail didn’t need them.

Unlike plasma TVs, LCD TVs are not prone to screen burn-in of still images, use less power and are usually lighter in weight. However, compared to plasma TVs, LCD TVs have worse viewing angles, may not have as accurate color reproductions.

Because LCD technology and manufacturing is a little more versatile than plasma, TV screen sizes can range from 5" to 70". Smaller sized LCD TVs usually range from 22" to 37" and are ideal for smaller rooms like kitchens, bathrooms or bedrooms. The smaller sized LCD TVs are usually 720P while the larger ones are 1080P resolution. (720 and 1080 refers to the number of lines of vertical. "P" stands for progressive and means that for every frame of video all 720 or 1080 lines are displayed at once to from an image.)

The 22" to 37" LCD TVs work better for smaller sized rooms in the home. A 26" ($300to $400), 32" ($350to $550) or 37" ($400-$700) are some of the more popular sizes in this category. The Sharp LC-26SB27UT 26"[1] ($370), Samsung LN32B460 32" ($500) and Sony BRAVIA KDL-37L5000 37"[2] ($630) are all good selections for these screen sizes.

The smaller home entertainment LCD panels usually come in the following sizes: 40"/42" ($600to $1,600) and 46"/47" ($1,000to $2,400) diagonals. The 1080P Samsung LN40B630 40" ($850) and Sony BRAVIA KDL-40V5100[3] ($900) are good choices for a smaller LCD display. For a 46" option, consider the Samsung LN46B650 ($1,000-$1,900) or Sony BRAVIA KDL-46V5100[4] ($1,200).

The slightly older model 52" Sharp LC52D85UN (but still with rave reviews for this feature and price point) is a great bargain at $1,300. For the newer 52" LCD TVs, the Sony KDL-52Z5100[5] ($1,900) is a good choice. The 55" Samsung LN55B650 ($2,300) and Sony BRAVIA KDL-55V5100[6] ($1,900) are recommended for this size and pricepoint.

The largest size LCD displays in the 60" range are priced at a premium. These are currently offered in only a 65" ($5,000-$6,000) size. The Sony BRAVIA KDL-65W5100[7] ($5,000) and Samsung LN65B650 ($6,000) are currently the only two models offered as a 65" LCD TV display.

If a person decides to wall mount the LCD TV, the associated cost can range from a few hundred dollars for a simple self-install to several hundred dollars for more difficult setups requiring professional installation.

In addition to the 40" office LED LCD, my wife and I got a 60" LED LCD for our family room. We live in Vancouver, British Columbia and found that HD TV"s are generally 25% to 30% higher in Canada than in the U.S. The regular retail price was $2,988 but we were able to negotiate it down to $2,400. The sales person informed us that their purchase price was $2,500 (same purchase price given by the Future Shop sales rep. I have no idea what their real purchase price is as I"ve never worked in the retail industry). The only way we were able to get this price is because we also purchased a 4-year warranty. In all, we paid $3,150 (CDN) for the LED LCD ($2,400), 4-year warranty ($500), wall mount ($100), and installation/delivery ($150 - the installation was just for the wall mount and did not include the installation of the power cord and cables which I purchased and installed myself to save $400), plus a $31 environmental clean-up fee.

I am currently living in Vancouver, British Columbia and have found that MSRP"s are generally 25% to 30% higher in Canada than in the U.S. However, the sales rep at Future Shop, the Canadian version of Best Buy, informed us of the "friends and family" sale even that was going on and we were able to get our 40" LED LCD for $800 CDN. Regular price was $1200 CDN. It"s only been 2 weeks but so far it"s great!
