Dynamic Contrast Ratio
Enjoy a high-contrast, high-quality image with your media. The BRAVIA produces 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.

HDMI connection x 3 (1080/60p capable)
Get versatile HDMI connection options with three HDMI inputs (up to 1080/60p input capable). Connect a Sony PLAYSTATION 3 entertainment system, Blu-ray Disc player, or any other HDMI-capable equipment and get uncompressed digital video and multi-channel digital audio on a single cable.

Two Component YPbPr (1080/60i capable) inputs provide added HD-capable connectivity.

One PC input (HD-15 pin)
One PC input (HD-15 pin) offers the added versatility to use your HDTV as a computer monitor.

BRAVIA Link compatible
BRAVIA Link compatibility expands your HDTV's capabilities by letting you connect optional BRAVIA Link modules, including BRAVIA DVD Link, BRAVIA Wireless Link, and BRAVIA Input Link (all sold separately).

BRAVIA Sync capable
BRAVIA Sync capability combines the one-touch access and control functionality of BRAVIA Theatre Sync with the ability to control CEC-enabled Sony Handycam camcorders using the TV's remote and an on-screen display via HDMI connector.

24p True Cinema
24p True Cinema mode provides a direct connection to 24p video sources, avoiding conversions and allowing users to enjoy films at their intended 24 fps (frames per second) cinematic picture quality when using a 24p-capable output device, such as a Blu-ray Disc player or PLAYSTATION 3 entertainment system.

ATSC/NTSC tuner with QAM
A built-in ATSC/NTSC tuner with QAM delivers over-the-air digital TV and unencrypted HDTV broadcast signals, as well as traditional analog TV broadcasts.

VESA compatible hole spacing
VESA compatible hole spacing uses an industry-standard mounting hole pattern that can be used with VESA-compliant mounting brackets, taking the guesswork out of selecting the proper hardware for hanging your TV on the wall.

This Sony KDL-26L5000 26" flat-screen tv is the newest and best LCD of this size on the market. Super fine and detailed image quality, fantastic features, and very smooth sound. Very easy to setup and high-def TV looks excellent. If you want the best 26" LCD, get this Sony model!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful picture!, March 24, 2009

By	David Farr (Niles, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bought to replace a smaller-screen TV in our bedroom. The larger size is much appreciated, but the quality of the picture is beyond any I've seen. We have had other LCD HDTV sets, but this one far exceeds the picture quality of our other sets. Easy to set up. I got a wall mount for this size set and the entire installation took just a few minutes. Highly recommended and worth the extra money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent LCD!!!, April 25, 2009

By	I. Villafuerte (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

my first hd flat panel. spent a considerable amount of time researching and reading reviews trying to decide what would be my first hd tv. but in the end i came across this one, and with confidence in sony, it was a blind buy. been with it for a month now and i couldn't be more pleased with this tv. @ 720p the picture is stunning. blu-rays on this thing are gorgeous, as are my ps3 games. sound is surprisingly louder and clearer than i expected. as a bedroom set you couldn't ask for better. next, the living room set will definitely be a bravia.
