They also employ Sony's LightSensor® technology and dynamic backlight control. The versatile BRAVIA L-series models include the 32-inch class (31.5 inch diagonal) KDL-32L5000 and 26-inch KDL-26L5000.

Also, with this year's lineup, Sony has just two 720p models left in its arsenal: The 32-inch Bravia KDL-32L5000, and the 26-inch KDL-26L5000.

The Sony KDL-L5000 series of LCD HDTVs was introduced in the spring of 2009. It consists of the 22-inch KDL-22L5000, the 26-inch KDL-26L5000, the 32-inch KDL-32L5000, and the 37-inch KDL-37L5000.

Although it costs a tad more than bargain-basement models, the Sony KDL-L5000 series makes up for it with above-basement design and picture quality.
