The large size of the screen is the most noticeable feature for this Sony set. The 52 inch Sony KDL-52W5800 can be viewed at many other angles other than straight ahead.

The Zoom Mode can reverse this effect too, changing a 4:3 image to a 16:9 display. In the event that display items disappear while performing Zoom Mode, Smart Mode can help recover them.

Of the Sony Bravia line, this particular set contains some of the best contrast ratio levels. This envy worthy ratio measures up to 100000:1.

As an added bonus, the set's backlight can help in properly adjusting contrast.

There is also a Light Sensor. The Light Sensor serves to monitor ambient light. The television's level of brightness is adjusted depending on how much light there is in a room. This is very helpful when wanting to see when turning off the lights. It also helps with reducing the energy a set uses at any given time.

Inside tuners also come with this set. For freesat signals, there is a freesat tuner. For MPEG-2 signals, there is the digial terrestrial tuner. There is even a digital cable tuner. The digital cable tuner will only function with certain operators.
