sony bravia kdl40we5 review: The Sony Bravia KDL40WE5 is an impressive first stab at creating a "green" LCD, and while picture quality is good you pay a premium for the proprietary backlight.

Impressive picture ; DLNA support ; Audio ; Solid attempt at creating a power-efficient TV

Price ; Some of the Eco features are a bit naff ; LED backlighting is more power efficient

sony bravia kdl46we5 review: Sony Australia's first crack at an "eco-conscious" LCD TV, the WE5 cuts power consumption through its new HCFL backlight and a Presence Sensor.

What's inside really does count – this Sony will leave your conscience clean while delivering a stellar performance

At the green heart of the Sony KDL-46WE5 lies "the world's first micro-tubular Hot Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (HCFL) backlight". Sony claims this new backlight technology will reduce power consumption, remarkably, by more than 50 per cent when compared ...

Impressively low power consumption figures, DLNA support, decent picture quality

Dorky two-tone chassis, expensive, some eco features compromise picture quality

The Sony Bravia KDL46WE5 shows that cathode-backlit LCDs can be green-friendly without destroying image quality. The picture quality isn't as good as an LED-backlit TV, but the overall package is decent.
