Some homeowners like their televisions to be massive, enjoying larger-than-life entertainment. Others like a modest one in the living room. The Sony 46EX710 will appeal to such homeowners as it has a 46-inch display panel, something not too large or too small. Despite of this, there are a wide variety of features within this full HD unit from the BRAVIA line.

One thing that you will immediately notice about it is the slim profile, measuring only 75 millimeters. While it has a base of its own, it's not unlikely for homeowners to instead mount it on the wall to take advantage of the dimension (compatible wall mounting accessory sold separately). Further making it ideal for wall mounting is the approximately 16.3 kilogram weight of the unit.

Why it's this thin and lightweight is because of the edge LED back-lighting technology employed. Just like what the name says, the diodes are concentrated on the display panel's edges instead of scattered across it. The great thing about this back-lighting system is it makes for an efficient consumption of energy but without compromising image quality. You can tell the difference when the electric bill gets to you.

The display panel is capable of showcasing full HD images having 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. Other than for watching your everyday TV programs, the unit is ideal for playing back HD movies and for playing HD video games. There are also 12 picture modes available, letting you enjoy the television to your liking no matter what you're using it for.

Many slim profile televisions have trouble dealing with motion blurs and judders, especially when playing back scenes that are fast moving. Sony copes with this common issue by incorporating a 100Hz Motion-flow technology. This doubles the amount of frames flashed every second, effectively eliminating blurs and judders.

Letting you connect to the unit your favorite AV components to construct your ideal home entertainment hub are the 4 HDMI ports available. All compatible components may also be controlled using the remote of the TV, thanks to Sony Sync innovation. Because of this, entertainment need not give you a headache each time. A USB port is also available. By plugging into this your USB enabled gadget, you can playback its photo, video or music content.

But of all the Sony 46EX710 features around, the most noteworthy is the capability to stream online videos. Now it's possible to use your television in watching clips and even movies available on the net. Also, the television is Wi-Fi ready. By purchasing a wireless dongle, you can maintain a clutter-free home as unnecessary wires are eliminated.
