Actual user review:
“The HD picture is amazing. I had a 2004 42′ Sony WEGA that produced 1080i, but the Bravia is a much, much better HD picture (however, it seems Comcast broadcasts in 1080i, not 1080p). When watching sports on my WEGA, the picture could not handle fast action so well. The Bravia corrects this pretty well (via the 120hz) and there is definitely a noticable difference/improvement versus my old WEGA. The 120hz is well worth the money.” – J.Unter (FL,USA)
Exceptional Technology
Aside from the dynamic contract and MotionFlow technology, Sony KDL52V5100 link compatibility allows you to view photos, movies and pictures from your USB. It easily connects to a USB-enabled MP3 player, prepped for hours and hours of track playlist. While its other link modules such as the Bravia DVD link, Bravia wireless link and the Bravia input link are sold separately, they promise viewing experiences like no other.

- “Now that we get MotionFlow @ 120hz on the V series I think this set is a no brainer. If I had the money I would probably choose this over the XBR anyways because i think it’s a good value and I honestly can’t tell the difference between this and the XBR. I just had to pop in Planet Earth on the PS3 and watch the bird scene from the beginning of Pole to Pole and it’s like going from SDTV to HDTV all over again how sharp everything looks now.” – J.Landymore (CA,USA)
- “The Sony BRAVIA V-Series KDL-52V5100 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, is the best HDTV on the market! The 240 Hz is overpay side be side you can’t see much difference! This is just my opinion but I did a lat of background checking and ran all over town looking at different sets, and the Sony was top of the list by far!” – W.Freeman (West Coast,USA)
