Motionflow™ 120Hz technology
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 favorite HD content, DVDs, and even broadcast movies and prime-time
programming.
High-efficiency HCFL backlight
The 40-inch diagonal 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 KDL-40VE5 consumes only 90 watts -- as little as an
incandescent light bulb.
Dynamic contrast
Dynamic contrast involves real-time image processing that results in deep blacks
in darker scenes, as well as fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the picture for a
difference you can truly see.
Conserve energy with Presence Sensor
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.
Energy-saving standby power switch
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.
LightSensor technology
An integrated light sensor gauges the ambient light in the room and
raises or lowers the brightness of the HDTV's backlight based on room lighting conditions. Dim the
lights to watch a movie, and the light sensor also dims the backlight, reducing unnecessary power
consumption even further.
