    Sony's new Bravia LCD HDTV offers a slimmed-down frame and a slick interface, but some picture-quality quirks detract from its otherwise solid performance. Read more

    • Easy setup. Thin frame depth and bezel design. Customizable interface features. Excellent standard-definition video processing. Solid picture contrast and color quality.
    • Loss of detail with film-based HD video. Overscan with 720p format video. Cinema picture preset not fully optimized.

    I know that some have asked for reviews on the KDL-46Z4100. Below is the review The good: Accurate primary colors and color decoding; reproduces relatively deep black levels; solid dejudder processing; sleek styling with compact cabinet; plenty of connectivity with four HDMI and one PC input; can access music and photos over the home network. The bad: Occasional backlight fluctuation in dark areas; less accurate color decoding; network streaming excludes video files. Read more

    I've had mine since Dec. of 2008 and I couldn't be happier. Not so much as one dead pixel and it looks as good as the day I bought it. Read more

    We watch mostly sports and bought this TV because of the motion control that is supposed to make sports clearer. I don't know if we need the Cable co. to make the picture clearer or what. TVs that I see hooked up in the stores have better resolution. Read more

    I do not like that I had to connect the Playstation 3 to the HDMI connection on the side of the unit instead of the back. The HDMI sticks out and I like a clean look not wires sticking out. My digital Kodak camera is not campatible with this unit so I am not able to load my pictures. Read more

    Product was Packaged in the standard cardboard box. The top lifts off the box, so it is easy to unpack. Inside you will find the TV, TV stand and remote. Setup was extremely simple, plug it in, and it walks you through the setup process. You also get a quick reference guide on setting up the tv, and for adding additional components. I don't like the remote, I like my old remote better, but I think in due time, I will get used to the remote. Read more

    This TV has very poor viewing angle. Although the image is still readable at 45 deg angle the colors are very dull and inaccurate. This TV must be watched at +/- 30deg of the axis not more. Read more

When you think about slim LCD HDTVs, think BRAVIA Z-Series. Slim black or silver bezels and thin profiles accent the elegant yet functional design, with performance that’s all Sony. 10-bit processing and 10-bit displays, x.v.Color technology and Deep Color render a wide color gamut and smooth color transitions. Motionflow 120Hz and 24p True Cinema provide smoother picture performance with unprocessed 24p film reproduction. Z-Series HDTVs include Sony’s DMex technology…

  • Audio Only HD channel

    I receive my HD channels directly via my Charter Coax cable. I do not have a cable box. On two of my HD ready TV's I can receive ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC without issues. However, on this model of TV (46z4100) there is no picture for the NBC channel. When I turn to that channel I hear the sound, but a small popup windows states "Audio Only". I have tried readding my digital channels, but no luck. Any ideas?
