Sony Z zooms past current XBR The 10-bit Z series 40" Sony LCDs are the absolute best. This TV sends XBR down a notch. Digital source material will jump out at you like never before. Gorgous color and contrast. The best yet.
1080i TV broadcast looks about 90% as good as Blu-ray on this panel. The delivery of non-HD DVD movies is wonderful and the picture using Blu Ray is absolutely stunning! (I rarely use the word "stunning")
Also, it's very future-proof with lots of (4) HDMI inputs and a LAN connect...

Fantastic LCD TV I was looking for a 40" LCD and narrowed it down to the Sony 40Z4100, Sony 40XBR4, and Samsung LN40A750... I've previously owned a 46" Samsung LN-T4665F and a Samsung LN-T3253H so naturally I wanted to go back to Samsung. The picture on the 750 is amazing but side by side, in multiple stores, I just couldn't take my eyes off the Sony LCDs. I then was stuck between the Sony 40XBR4 and the 40Z4100...
I had my heart set on the XBR4 since it was Sony's top of the line product last year, but wh...

Great quality that you'd expect from a Sony set - even if a bit pricier Was time to replace my 36" Sony XBR tube with a new HDTV set but had a specific space limitation due to the existing TV cabinet - had to fit something inside just over 39". Looked at the Samsung 650 and was leaning heavily that way but was concerned that the size was just too tight for my opening (even with some adjustments) and the glossy screen was a concern given lots of natural light in the room.
Was then looking to the "W" series when I found the "Z" - a bit more, but it was def...

Sony KDL-40Z4100 LCD HDTV Review This TV was literally the perfect "fit" for us. The slim design just fits our built-in cabinet with about 1/2 inch to spare on width. This means we can not access the few side mounted inputs and control buttons - but with 4 HDMI inputs in total + component inputs in the back, we have more than enough accessible inputs and the remote does all we need it to. We also found it on sale for $1699.00 - making the price more competitive with other similarly configured TVs - the picture is amazing - w...

Awesome TV It is hard to find a good TV with a silver bezel. The beutiful picture quality slim bezel and the thin design were all driving factors in the purchase of this tv. Watching BluRay movies is amazing on this TV you feel like you are right there. WatchingHDTV is good but you dont get to utilize the capabilities of this TV. I would recommend this TV to friends and family because I know they would not be disappointed with the picture quality. I had contemplated the Samsung 6 and 7 series prior to purc...

The best price/value ratio and the best (period) total package now available This TV has numerous advantages over the Samsung 6xx and 7xx series which it is often compared to. First off, the Samsung's are fantastic TVs. The characteristics of the picture (color cast, primarily- which is different among makers- cool is cooler on one, neutral may be warmer on another and warm may be too warm for some viewers, etc.) should be judged by each individual viewer. There are some people who are going to like the Samsung's picture better than the Sony's, and vice versa.

Well worth the price I have been using an old 27 inch Zenith for over 6 years and the color was really starting to bleed so I started looking into lcd tv's and found the sony KDL-40Z4100/B and was very impressed with the features that it offered. I spent at least a month researching tvs but still came back the the sony. The sony tv was a bit more than the others but my parents have a 52" JVC HD-ILA tv and this I feel is no comparison to mine now. I find myself watching the HD stations the majority of the time but a...

Always beautiful I have the 40 inch version and while the HD is amazing, I think where it will stand out to the average users is it's ability to upscale standard definition signals. It does an amazing job. I have (non-HD) Dish Network (at least until AT&T's U-verse is available on my block) and this set gives my Dish Network subscription a new lease on life.
The other killer feature is the 'favorites' button on the remote. It will allow you to select which input to view by a animated, ribbon like m...

10-bit Processor and 10-bit Panel I recommend this new Z series or an XBR (over 40") due to one fact - the 10-bit Processor and 10-bit Panel. The S, V and W series all look great, but they have 8-bit panels this year (see chart above). For the deepest blacks and best color reproduction, the 10-bit panel/processor makes a huge difference, more than any other LCD feature difference I've seen. The 120hz is impressive, too, giving a 3-D effect, especially on Blu-ray/HD playback, and can be turned on and off. If you like Samsung, the...

The Best This TV is perfect. I had the samsumg 650 and it was good but terrible uneven backlight bleeding flashlights in corners Took it back and got the 750. Had a halo effect on the bezel and the shiney screen was very distracking.And the remote sucks. The Sony is perfect. No flashlights or glare on screen. Remote is the best. Very fast and easy.Just a pefect picture.
