Great TV

I've owned this TV for a little under a year now, not one problem. I have my Xbox 360, PS2, Blue-Ray, Stereo, HD cable box all hooked up to it. I payed 1450 last Christmas so I would think that now it should be found for around 1000.

Trust Amazon.com for resale TV's

With caution and some reservation, I purchased a "like new" Sony KDL-46Z4100 from Amazon.com Warehouse. Not only was it actually "like new" as advertised, but six months have now passed and it is still priced higher at the discount stores than I paid through Amazon.com Warehouse. I don't see myself ever buying electronics any other way. They just depreciate way to fast to pay new retail prices, even when on sale.

LCD Greatness

I purchased this TV February 2009, and it has since been shipped from S. Korea all the way to Portugal. been probably mishandled all the way around the world as well.
The Picture is amazing, i have read some minor complaints about some "greying" on the sides, i have none of that. I love this Television.

TV speakers are TV Speakers, what do you expect, better than nothing. i am not gentle with things i own, and turn it off and on repeatedly, or leave it on for extended amounts of time. i put TV's through what Automakers put their cars through in the desert... and this TV has lived up to the challenge

i dont really know what else to say, superior quality and reliability, for me anyways

great TV, great PQ, advanced internet features lacking

I've been using this TV for about 4 months now. It's a great TV with a great picture. I won't bother repeating all of the technical stats since you can see them above, but suffice it to say that this TV has all the technical bells and whistles you'd want in terms of contrast ratio, refresh rate, etc.

In general Sony makes good products (although you do sometimes have to pay a little more for them). The Z series is their mid-range series - it's better than the S, V, and some others, but doesn't have all the features of the XBR series. This TV is the 4100 series, which unfortunately makes it just one model short of being able to do a lot of cool internet enabled things. For example, the 5100 model (and everything above that, including the XBR series) can stream netflix movies. I've also tried streaming video from a DLNA server and found it somewhat limited, While JPG images can display easily and you can play MP3s, (I got that working in just a few minutes), Sony doesn't guarantee support for anything other than basic mpeg2 video format (and I've had little luck even getting that to work). Since most internet video is distributed in other formats, this means you're going to have to get another device (HTPC, Bravia internet link, Roku box, Xbox, PS3, etc.), in order to get internet video. Depending on your plans for other home theater devices and budget, you may want to upgrade to the 5100 series or XBR for the additional internet based features, however if you're like me and getting a HTPC anyway, then it doesn't make sense to spend additional money for features you'll have through other devices.

Be aware if purchasing for use in U.S.A.

Be aware of purchasing this item for use in the U.S.A. - our TV broke after 3 months and we cannot get it fixed because it is a multi-system (and non-US standard) TV. Sony just gives us phone numbers for Asian parts suppliers and says that is all they are able to do and the Amazon reseller, VCT, has been no help so far. I'm not even sure at this point if Sony will honor any kind of warranty because we bought a foreign system within the U.S. - something I honestly did not even consider when buying this multi-system TV. It is looking like we are out a brand-new TV and a ton of money. Until the TV broke it was great - we loved being able to watch our Region 2 DVDs on it. Picture quality was good and everything worked just fine, but then in the middle of watching something there was a loud popping noise and the TV went blank and so began our many, many e-mails and phone calls with Sony and VCT. Just be aware of this issue when considering a multi-system TV in the U.S.

More than a little disappointed

I purchased this model in end Dec 2008. Main reasons of purchase were the profile is good looking, and it's a Sony TV set. However, besides agreeing with the previous reviewer's comment about color inaccuracy, I also found these cons:
. The display is darker than desired - it's not possible to set it bright enough without making it over-saturated.
. The tuner is noiser than expected - my low-cost USB Tuner used on a three-year old PC has less noise.
. The viewing angles are diappointingly narrow, especially the horizontal one.
. More clearer picture is desire - at times it will look like a very old analog TV set -- not sure if that's because of the particular TV programs themselves.

I had been using Sony analog TV's for many years, and they were very good. I'm disappointed on this Sony LCD TV especially it's more expensive than other brands of the same size.

Made it in one piece

I love my new TV. I was afraid it would not make it in one piece, especially since I did not insure it. It made it and I love it, in particular the feature of connecting my computer to it and using it as a monitor. I recently bought a netbook computer and I need the larger screen to log into my class, participate in conferences and do my homework. Love it, love it!!!!!!

A little disappointed

I bought this TV about a week ago. The price is down and I always believe in Sony Tv. But after I have tried it, I found the color is not that accurate and is over saturated. Faces on TV are redder than they should be, no matter how I adjust it. I am thinking of returning it now and change to Samsung.

size consideration

I bought this 22'' one today to replace my old 20'' analog one. I am generally happy so far with the quick setup, also the clear audio due to the front-facing speakers. However I realized that in order to view 4:3 programming without cropping and distortion, the picture is smaller than the one on my old 20'' TV. Upon some calculation I can now share this conversion formulae with you: if you are looking to buy a HDTV (widescreen TV) to replace your analog one (squarish TV), and want to maintain the SAME image size of 4:3 programming contents on your new widescreen TV as on your old squarish one, WITHOUT distortion and cropping, then the size of the HDTV (its diagonal screen dimension) should be 1.224 times that of the analog TV. For instance, to replace my old 20'' analog TV and keep the same image size for 4:3 contents, I would have to buy a 1.224x20=24.477'' one. Of course there is no such size, but you get the idea: buy one bigger than 24''! This formulae works regardless of the size of the original TV.

Good HDTV for a small space

I bought this HDTV to use in my home office so I can watch local news and cable news channels while I am working. It connected easily to my cable system (Comcast in Seattle). The automatic set up routine found all of the unscrambled channels that Comcast offers. Comcast users should note that Comcast has its channel line up set up so that the only HD channels one can receive without a Comcast set top box or a CableCard are your local HD Channels.

The picture is very good and the sound is quite acceptable.
