Sony KDL-52Z5100

I’ve received today an e-mail from one of our readers, and he asked me if I can make a comparison between two TOP LCD TV.

Sony KDL-52Z5100

I decided to make the comparison between Sony KDL-52Z5100 and LG 55LH55.

LG-55LH55

LG-55LH55

As you already know, first we will see the comparison table :

Sony KDL-52Z5100 LG 55LH55

TV Width (inches)49.0 in.53.4 in.

Basically both LCD TV’s have the same features, the only thing that makes the “difference” is the 3D feature! The price is actually the same, the Sony LCD is with 100$ more expensive that LG, but it has the 3D feature, so, the price is actually very good.

Now let’s see some others users reviews :

Sony KDL-52Z5100

Love the HD picture quality (PQ) of the Samsung 52B750, but don’t watch TV in cave and don’t want to deal with all those reflections off a glossy screen? Well, the Sony 52Z5100 is the answer. HD PQ with the Z5100 is excellent with great black levels, but without the “shaving mirror” reflectivity of the screen during dark or black scenes. We were looking at the 52B750, based on reviews and seeing it at UE, but after testing our viewing room at various times of day with a glass picture frame and our “bright screen” LCD notebook, it was obvious that the reflections would drive us crazy over the life of the TV. We have two older HDTVs, both with matte screen and we don’t miss the reflective glass screens of the old CRT TVs. The 52Z5100′s screen is best described as semi-matte. Un-powered, the screen is reflective though dull. Power it up and there are essentially zero reflections, even with very dark scenes. What ever Sony has done to defeat reflectivity and minimize glare, it works very well.

LG-55LH55

Picture quality is better than I thought it would be. Better than any LCD I’ve seen. I knew it would be good with the 240hz but it is really really good! I ran through it’s own calibration on set up. That non-reflective black screen, however, isn’t just for looks. It’s one of many features of the TV that aid in providing an outstanding viewing experience under a wide variety of lighting conditions. It’s helped out by the Intelligent Sensor system that can alter screen settings automatically to produce the best possible image as ambient light changes.
