 “Audio problems, seems to be a common problem” 2010-01-28
By T. Saldivar (El Paso TX)
Hi,

I’ve just had the tv replaced, but the replacement has the exact problem. Audio is awful at low volumes. From reading others experience, this is common with this model TV. What a shame, otherwise it is a nice tv.

sincerely,

bumbed out

Hums at low volume

Loud pops and cracks when changing inputs

PC audio is sent to input 2, while video is on input 1 when using hdmi cable

What happened to Sony, I thought they made the best quality TVs

This is my first and last Sony TV( maybe any other Sony product )

There is a good reason why all sizes of the KDL**S5100 are selling well below list price.

 “terribly disappointing” 2010-01-12
By J. Scott
This was my foray into the world of HDTV. Most research will show Sony are the leaders in HDTV technology and customer satisfaction, which makes this set a puzzling anomaly.

Prior to purchasing this unit, I had read about problems users had experienced with the set’s functionality. Most reviewers claimed these issues could be cured with a simple firmware upgrade. To Sony’s credit, the upgrade couldn’t have been easier and did seem to install and report properly. However, it didn’t fix my particular set’s issues - the main being the intermittent loss of audio when connnecting via the HDMI ports, and the occasional loss of picture color and contrast.

Those issues - and lack of rectification - were troubling enough. But I also noticed that when I would connect via the component inputs (a DVD deck, for example) and listen through my external hi-fi, the audio was always slightly behind the picture. No amount of pausing, rewinding, fast forwarding, or stopping the source would correct this annoyance, nor would any audio adjustments made via the TV’s menu. The sound was typically in sync when listening through the TV itself, but never when listening externally. This is all not to mention that I could never seem to get the color balance quite right, no matter how small or dramatic the adjustments made. There was not enough presence to the overall picture (even with the backlight on max), and the colors always looked unnatural to my eyes. Further, even at 1080p, the picture always seemed to produce more than its fair share of pixelization.

While the color balance may be nitpicky due to viewing preference, the other issues - particularly the out of sync audio - are not. Needless to say, this is unacceptable - especially at this price and from Sony. Don’t let this deter you from trying out another Sony HDTV, just avoid this one. (I actually picked up a 37″ Vizio 1080p for a few bucks more after returning the Bravia. While I’m not crazy about its menu navigation, I have experienced no out of sync audio issues - it even has a menu adjustment for just such an emergency - and the picture is fabulous, with rich color and few digital artifacts.)

 “An excellent Entry-Level 1080p monitor” 2010-01-05
By Lang Chen (East Bay, SF Area)
I bought this one for my kitchen to replace my Sony tube 24″ TV. My set worked fine right out of the box. The color is not set to ultra stunning or too bright at default value.

I noticed that the black level of the DTV signal was not to my expectation. I have two sets of Panasonic industrial plasma monitors, together with Sony’s DirecTV/DTV receiver. I have been spoiled with the excellent black level from Panasonic monitors. No matter how I adjusted the color, brightness or “Picture” setting, I cannot get a satisfactory result.

Then I changed the setting. Instead of using the build-in DTV tuner, I used Sony’s direcTV/DTV external tuner. Immediately, even both of my sons noticed big difference. The black level meets the plasma level (especially on full HD football programs). Until then I discovered what this Sony TV can deliver! Well, that picture is perfect, with Vivid colors (I am not talking about the exaggerated “VIVID mode” here. I meant a more realistic and rich colors) and deep black (but not to the point that you don’t see shadow details.)

I was only using the component connection. Notice that the commercials always mentioned that the HDMI is the best connection. However, it depends on the video converter of the TV set and that of the source set. If you use a high-end Blu-ray or DVD player, the component output may seem better than HDMI output because the video converter on the DVD player is better than the video converter on the TV set. However, if the TV is also good, then you may (not must) get a better picture through the HDMI. It depends! For this Sony TV, I tried Toshiba HD DVD player HD D3 (Or HD A3), it is an excellent DVD player too. I compared the component with HDMI and found that the HDMI renders a hair sharper image with very slightly detailed colors. The component wire is not the top-notch here. So the little “worse” image from component could be caused by either slightly inferier video converter from Toshiba or by the inferier component cable. I cannot determine here. However, with the Sony digital DirecTV/DTV receiver, I prefer the signal from the component input. Or at least that I can hardly tell which one is really better. So if you don’t have a previous HD connection, buy HDMI. Otherwise, do some brief “comparison” work before you decide which connection to use.

Anyway, the picture quality of this Sony is satisfactory. The 60hz refresh rate really does not matter that much when I view the HD football games. However, the 1080p makes difference when you view close by the TV (This TV is in the kitchen). Also it looks better too if you use as a PC monitor. I did hook up my Dell Latitude to this Sony and the picture looks very clear and vibrant. I never expect the sound from stand alone TV set to be good. For the news in kitchen, it sounds ok. I hear talks clearly. Don’t use its build-in speakers for concert purpose. I have a Denon receiver and Celestion speakers in my kitchen. So the sound is not a problem to me with this TV.

Over all, it is an excellent choice as a monitor. However, as a stand-alone TV, the picture may suffer a little washed-out. The sound may not be able to compete with the best but it is still ok, clear highs, low/no base. I would give this Sony 3+ stars as a stand-alone TV but 5+ stars as a monitor. That’s why you see 4 stars on my rating. But for my purpose, it is a solid 5-star monitor!
