Sony KDL-40Z4100/S (silver)

 

I love this TV. All of these TV's need some tuning out of the box, and I was able to adjust every picture component (color, red, blue, greean all seperate), sharp, background, bright, contrast, everything, until it looks fantastic. Even has advanced...

Finely tunable aspects of picure quality and color, from 1-100 or 1-10, not just Warm/Cool/Neutral. 120Hz refresh = geat quality on fast pics! Lots of HDMI inputs. SPLIT SCREEN viewing! Great looking thin frame with easy access to ports & controls

Product Specifications

Look no further than the KDL-40Z4100 for the most strikingly stunning and flat-out sophisticated HDTV Sony has to offer. With a remarkably slim bezel design, MotionflowTM 120Hz for the reproduction of smooth, lifelike images, BRAVIA Engine 2TM and ACE for deeper blacks and crisp shadow detail, this TV's sensational design is only matched by its picture. But phenomenal image quality and show-stopping design isn't all. The KDL-40Z4100 also includes DLNATM compatibility so you can access your digital photo collection over your home network (additional DLNATM components required; sold separately). DMex is also on board for an optional digital connection to innovative expansion modules like the BRAVIA® Internet Video Link for exciting web-based content. The Digital Media Port (DMP) is included for connecting your portable digital audio devices like iPod® and Walkman® music players. +PLUS+ - SONY DVD PLAYER - WALL MOUNT - HDMI-HDMI CABLE - CLEANING KIT
