Not only do LightSensor and Ambient sensor technologies customize light and color performance to your viewing area, but in combination with Dynamic Backlight Control, they help earn the KDL-40EX40B an ENERGY STAR certification. Further, a Full HD 1080p panel is ideal for use with HD sources like the integrated Blu-ray Disc player, HD satellite, and HD gaming consoles. Look to four HDMI inputs for optimal HD connectivity, and a USB port for access to video, music, and photos on a laptop, thumbdrive, or MP3 player. Sony KDL40EX40B
Bring on the HD
There's good reason to be excited: the Sony BRAVIA KDL-40EX40B LCD HDTV sports a Full HD 1920 x 1080p display resolution. In case you're not familiar with "1080p", as it's fondly known, that's the highest definition panel resolution currently available, and an ideal complement to HD movies on Blu-ray Disc, HD television programming, and HD gaming from sources like the PlayStation3. Of course, because this is a BRAVIA television, when it comes to the Sony Full HD experience, panel resolution is merely the beginning. First, Sony's newest BRAVIA Engine 3 technology offers a fully digital video processor that employs a collection of unique algorithms to significantly reduce video "noise" and produce sharp, vibrant, lifelike images through which a 1080p-resolution panel reaches its full potential. Second, the KDL-40EX40B's Advanced Contrast Enhancer reproduces improved contrast for deep blacks in darker scenes and fine detail in shadows, revealing all the details that the director intended for you to see. Third, an Ambient Sensor automatically adjusts picture color based on lighting conditions in your viewing area, delivering a picture that's tailored to your living room. Finally, Sony's 24p True Cinema technology ensures compatibility with and high-fidelity reproduction of 24fps film-based content. Bring on the HD. Sony KDL40EX40B
Blu-ray built right in
In the movie world, "picture quality" depends, largely, on the budget you throw at a film. In the digital world, picture quality depends on bit rates. For example, DVDs can deliver 10 Mbps. HDTV broadcasts can reach 19 Mbps. But Blu-ray Disc outshines them all with up to 48 Mbps! Quite simply, Blu-ray is the best home video source. Ever. At the same time, it provides seriously sweet surround sound. With up to 7.1 channels of surround sound and options for up to 32 streams of audio, the KDL-40EX40B is an amazing experience for your ears as well as your eyes. Blu-ray Disc can deliver concert videos and music videos that will make you want to get up on stage and sing with the performers. To put it in other terms, Blu-ray is like "Gone With the Wind," "West Side Story," "The Godfather," "Forrest Gump," "Titanic," and "Gladiator" all rolled together into one visually captivating, auditorily enthralling feast for the senses.

First, LightSensor technology monitors ambient-light levels in your viewing area and automatically adjusts backlight intensity.

Second, responding to the video content you're watching, the KDL-40EX40B's Dynamic Backlight Control also makes automatic energy-saving and performance-raising adjustments to backlight intensity. Third, this BRAVIA TV's packaging and printed materials are made using between 20% and 40% recycled materials. Finally, all these "green" features add up to earn an ENERGY STAR qualification, signaling that this LCD HDTV satisfies the U.S. government's strict criteria for energy-efficient operation.
