Product Description
Look no further than the KDL-46Z4100 for the most strikingly stunning and flat-out sophisticated HDTV Sony has to offer. With a remarkably slim bezel design, Motionflow 120Hz for the reproduction of smooth, lifelike images, BRAVIA Engine 2 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-46Z4100 also includes DLNA compatibility so you can access your digital photo collection over your home network (additional DLNA components required; sold separately). The Digital Media Port (DMP) is included for connecting your portable digital audio devices like iPod and Walkman music players.

 Awesome PQ and no glare! June 23, 2008
46 out of 49 found this review helpful
I decide on the 46z4100S for the following reasons;
a) No glossy screen glare or bezel glare!
b) small bezel, allowing larger screen on wall space
c) 3" depth on "in-wall mount"
d) 1080P/120HZ/motion control
The Picture Quality is so crystal clear......... just great! Bright, vivid colors are awesome! There are so many features and very easy to set-up.
My wife loves the brushed metal and says, "it doesn't have glare, doesn't look like those 'black plastic' frames". She's candid(LOL) and loves the amazing PQ, when watching her baseball games.
I'm using an in-wall mount and the 3" depth makes it look like a picture on the wall. The "46Z" is perfect from a viewing distance of 9-11 ft. Friends all love it!
I'm still making the viewing adjustment from a 27"CRT floor console. My eyes do more tracking on this larger screen.

I have had a Westinghouse 1080p 42inch monitor for a few years and have really been pleased with it. However, with the new features on the market (120hz, 24p, etc) I was ready to upgrade. I initially ordered a Samsung LN46A550 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV. The picture was actually really good on this set, but the glare on the case was VERY annoying. It also lacked the features I was looking for in a new set, but I tried it out because the price was so good. The glare was too much to put up with, so I sent it back and started to research Sony's since they are one of the few sets on the market that you can still get without a glossy case.
I sure am glad that I found Bravia Z series! WIthout going up to an XBR, the Z series is the way to go. If you look at the specs - most of the high end features offered by the XBR are already in the Z series, so it is a really good value when viewed that way. It makes sense why the Z is not offered in a 52 inch size - it would probably really impact sales of the XBR. What a great looking TV (both the picture and the case). I have been extremely impressed with both the blacks on this LCD as well as the vivid colors it produces. The amount of picture calibration offered on this setup is remarkable - especially compared to my old Westinghouse. I find the 24p mode on Blue Ray disk to be quite impressive - it really adds a whole new level of enjoyment to watching Blue Ray movies. The 120hz mode is also wonderful when watching football. I really cannot say enough good things about this TV - spend the extra money that the Sony brand demands, and you get what you pay for.
Although I did not have the issue with this TV, there is a lot of discussion around the Internet about a sparkle issue that this TV has. Be advised that this was an issue, but Sony has released a firmware update that resolves the problem. I have done the update and everything is running great.
If you are on the fence between this and the Samsung LN46A650 (which is in the same feature class as the Sony), be aware that the Samsung has a very glossy screen - not to mention a sure to be dated red outline on the case. This really kills one of the great features of LCD's! The only Samsung I would even consider against this Sony is the Samsung LN46A550 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, but it lacks 120hz, 24p, and has that hideous glossy case. It seems to me that there is no viable competitor to the Sony Bravia Z-Series KDL-46Z4100!
Another side note... When my TV was delivered they also picked up the Samsung for return. The delivery guys were telling me that they have to pickup Samsungs EVERY day because people are returning them. He said they have never had to pickup a Sony. This is proved if you look at the used/new link under the Samsung and Sony's - you will see tons of open box Amazon Warehouse Deals on the Samsungs - but none on the Sony's!
top notch lcd tv September 21, 2008

Many folks are going for the samsung lcds because the blacks look blacker.
but those tv's have a glass screen that reflects everything. This tv is sharper than a xbr4 or xbr5 , those were last years models. the engine in this tv is equivalent to a xbr6. I replaced a great 50 inch sony sxrd
tv with this one. Sony's newer 52's didn't have all the features of this one. the s, v, and w's are fine tv's but they don't have deep color the new color standard that future discs will have. Nor do they have x.v. color which is here already and is used in digital photos. this one does. the w does have 24fps or film speed that words with a ps3 or blu ray player to show a movie in it's real speed. Of course this isn't a benefit for older dvd's as they are processed in a 2:3 rate anyways. that means that one frame is dropped for every 3 shown. but for blu ray this feature rocks. And like ALL lcds standard non hd tv looks ok but they don't put standard tv on in showrooms. so people take these tv's home and expect it to look like HD content. this is true for all lcds, plasmas , lcos , dlp's and the rest. But this tv shines with hd content and blu ray. However, I will miss the extra four inches of screen. but this tv is in many ways future proof for a while. the 120hz feature for motion and other features make it one of the best tv's made so far. The toshiba 540 and 550 series are comparible but this tv is the clearest of the new tv's. xbr 7's will come soon but they will be much more expensive. the jump in size from 46" to 52" is also a substantial jump in price. So I can live with a 46" tv with this quality. This tv took 2 days to get to denver. which is great! I picked it up myself as the box and tv are not too large and this means I don't have to hang around waiting for a delivery. I would say that if you have a smaller tv 46' or less go down to ceva wharehouse and get it yourself. This tv though with it's three key features: deep color, x.v. color and 24p or 24 frames per second film speed for blu ray only I would say make this tv in many ways future proof. I knew when I bought the sxrd that new technology wasn't far off that technology is here on the sony z series and it's good enough on the sony to make the tv a keeper for many , many years.
Highly recommend this TV July 18, 2008

This TV is absolutely a dream to watch. No blurs. Watching golf or sporting events rocks!
I was not a big TV fan, but now I love watching all the details this TV presents.
One thing I really enjoy: Watching DVDs.
This TV autosenses when you are watching regular (non-blue-ray) DVDs and somehow enhances the picture.
My understanding is that it delivers the movie in true 24 frames per second.
I can hostly say I was blown away watching DVDs. For example, I watched "I am Legend" and it looked so realistic, it was shocking.
Can't wait to see how Blue-Ray will look.
There are clearly many features I am yet to explore, like the ability to store pictures in the TV.
Really awesome investment. Also very light and easy to move.
THE BEST!!! TV ON THE MARKET July 27, 2008

1080/24P
120 HZ
SLIM BEZEL
PICTURE QUALITY
CONS: NOT A SINGLE ONE
I PURCHASED THIS TV ON 7-19-08 AND IT WAS THE BEST PURCHASE I HAVE EVER MADE. THE PICTURE QUALITY IS OUTSTANDING AND IT IS A VERY LIGHT AND EASY TO MOVE TV, I WAS THINKING ABOUT GETTING AN XBR4 46" BUT WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET THIS FOR 2200 DOLLARS AND LOOKED AT BOTH OF THEM REALLY CLOSE IT WAS HARD TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE IN PICTURE QUALITY WORTH 600 MORE DOLLARS. WHEN I GOT IT HOME AND SET IT UP THE PICTURE LOOKED REALLY GOOD, BUT AFTER I DID A LITTLE BIT OF TWEAKING IT WAS OUTSTANDING. I HAVE A SONY BLURAY, PS3, AND XBOX 360 AS WELL AS DIRECTY HDVR HOOKED UP TO IT WITH ONE HDMI CABLE FROM MY ONKYO 805 AND ONE COMPONENT CABLE AND ALL OF THEM LOOK GREAT. THE BLURAY PICTURE QUALITY AT 1080/24P LOOKS LIFELIKE AND REALLY PUTS YOU RIGHT IN THE ACTION, AND PLAYING A GAME ON EITHER OF MY CONSOLES JUST BLOWS ME AWAY HOW GREAT THEY BOTH LOOK. IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO DECIDE WHICH TV TO GET AND BOY AM I GLAD THAT I WAITED LONG ENOUGH FOR THIS ONE TO COME OUT BECAUSE IT IS JUST GREAT. SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GREAT TV WITH AN OUTSTANDING PICTURE DONT HESITATE TO GET THE KDL-46Z4100 I KNOW THAT YOU WILL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS I DO.
