Review: Sony KDL-46Z5100

 

Sony's Z-Series TV offers a rich set of Internet goodies from Netflix to Yahoo Widgets and video podcasts.

Spectacular contrast ratio. Buttery-smooth 240-Hz refresh rate banishes judder and blur. Excellent universal remote with dedicated buttons for web content

Some noticeable artifacts when upconverting SD video. Streaming video limited to MPEG-2; no AAC support

Sony Bravia KDL-46Z5100

 

Sony's 46-inch KDL-46Z5100 has excellent streaming multimedia features, but some of this LCD HDTV's critical picture quality optimizations are left up to the owner.

Excellent picture contrast. Internet and network multimedia streaming. 240-Hz display technology.

Poorly optimized cinema picture preset. Majority of HD-compatible ports on side of TV.

Very Nice LCD TV, Good Value

 

This is a very nice LCD TV for the price. I had an opportunity to see the Samsung 8500 and Sony XBR8; they are definitely better, however they are 3 times more expensive. I will probably buy the XBR8 or one of the newer units this summer and retire...

Model KDL-46Z4100 from 2008

 

Purchased this model in 9/08 from Circuit City (1st mistake). Picture is outstanding once the TV is correctly set up. However, after about a half an hour or so of viewing, this LCD model becomes very warm from the inside with the heat making the...

Wondeful TV and purchase, long term decision

 

I bought this TV with a bundle, and came with a 400 Blu-ray/DVD changer. That was a treat. 46 inch Sony Flat screen with a 400 Disc Changer, and I already had a surround sound system, it made my year and hopefully coming years happy. The TV is...

not a good choice

 

I chose the "Z" series for the 240 Motionflow technology and it did not disappoint!! Watched an older Harry Potter DVD with the picture set on vivid and it looked like I was watching live actors on a stage!!! Can't wait to see what Blu-Ray discs look...

Outstanding Picture Quality

No remote code for my DVD/Combo recorder
