Sony Bravia W Series KDL 46W4100 46 Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV
Sony’s 1080p KDL-46W4100 with Motionflow 120Hz technology doubles the number of existing frames by calculating in real time and inserting 60 entirely new frames between the original 60 frames, this creates a new standard for picture performance, with smooth, lifelike image quality that responds to the demands of even the fastest moving images with ease. Full HD 1080p means the W4100 connections accept 1080p signals and the Display will render that signal in Full HD 1080p. Take full advantage of Blu-ray Disc players and PlayStation(R) 3 systems that can deliver 1080p content. The latest version of Sony’s respected BRAVIA Engine fully Digital video processor uses a collection of unique SONY algorithms to significantly reduce noise and produce sharp, vibrant, life-like images. With Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) you get real-time image processing to dynamically adjust backlight levels for improved Contrast without masking details the filmmaker intended you to see. ACE delivers deep blacks in darker scenes, as well as fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the picture for a difference you can truly see. Add to that unique features like the enhanced Xross Media Bar(TM) with 3D graphics and integrated TV Guide program information, built-in DMeX functionality, and you can see why we call the W-series the new standard in 120Hz performance.

5 Stars LOVE IT
I owned a plasma for 4 years (zenith 42″ edtv) and I loved it… looked great, sounded great, etc. I tried for the past couple of years to upgrade to full hd to no avail. I tried a 50″ samsung (terrible color, horrific sound) and a 50″ philips (decent, but not “great”). This sony BLEW MY MIND. Great picture, great sound, great build quality. You can’t go wrong. JUST BUY IT
3 Stars Samsung 46 inch is much better
We purchased a Samsung 46L650 from amazon but due to the $ 200 cash rebate issue (they promised cash rebate which turned out to be a sport memoribilia rebate) we returned it and got this sony instead. Since we got chance to view both samsung and sony, I can see definitely that Samsung screen looks much wider and bigger as compared to sony. The picture quality was also better with samsung plus they are cheaper too. One good feature of Sony was that you get good sound system but overall samsung wins in the looks. Also make sure you buy a power surge protector with such big ticket items. Trust me its worth the extra cost.
Hope this helps!
5 Stars A perfect HDTV
We researched the HDTV’s & went several times to different stores to see the picture quality. This set is as near to perfection that we could find. The size is perfect for our room(12×11). The quality of color, vividness & definition allows you to see every crease & wrinkle on the face. Color is life like & sharp so that your experiencing almost a 3D quality. We purchased the set from Amazon getting the best price around. Shipping took longer than expected but the wait was worth it. I highly recommend this set over a Samsung (which was our 2nd. choice). The glass screen on Samsung reflected everything. Amazon’s white glove service set everything up for us so that we only had to sit & enjoy.
5 Stars Very Impressive
I am very impressed with the clarity of the picture. The colors are absolutely brilliant. Very happy with purchase.
4 Stars Never received this product.
I actually canceled this order in favor of a Panasonic plasma TH-46PZ85U.
This TV was one of the best I’ve seen in the stores, but I wanted a plasma for better fast-action displays.
I’ve come to conclude that even with plasma there is some blur because there is blur in the broadcast of most channels. ESPN, ABC, CBS, etc all have blur. This is due to the camera focus, camera motion, and even MPEG compression of the signal.
So don’t shy away from an LCD, especially with 120Hz refresh. Just make sure you check it out in a local store - let your eyes be the judge.

5 Stars shaff from florida
FIRST THANKS TO AMAZON.COM YOUR SERVICE WAS OUTSTANDING THE DELIVERY WAS QUICK.THIS TV IS,A WOW,THE PICTURE QUALITY IS GREAT SPORTS UNBELIVABLE FRONT ROW SEAT EVERYTIME.
5 Stars BEST CHOICE EVER
I looked for 6 months and finally decided with consumer reports reporting this as a great tv I took the credit card and ordered it…WONDERFUL AWSOME. I have been a TV TECH for 20 yrs was concerned with the blur of a lcd but with the 120 hz blur circuit there is no blur…. and I would say the search is over…
ENJOY
5 Stars Bravo for Bravia!!!
Purchased the 52″ Sony from Amazon, was going to buy one @ Sam’s but they changed models, this was the upgraded one, plus it was a better deal. Great Service and delivery, plus I purchased the Sony Sound Bar DVD and the IPOD Dock, It’s hung on the wall over my fireplace with the Soundbar underneath. What a system, it automatically selects the input device, functions are controlled by Sony Remote (Except for Direct TV, (bummer)) But I rate this 10 out of 10, and Amazon is the BEST, the other stores do not compare!!!!
5 Stars great tv
We spent a lot of time researching televisions before buying. (The reviews on Amazon were very helpful) The tv is great! We have a very bright room and there is absolutely no glare. The 120 Hz makes a big difference when watching football or hockey. The set up was easy. The delivery person was less than helpful, but we are really glad we bought this model.

5 Stars a GREAT TV !!!!!!!!
SONY BRAVIA W-SERIES KDL-40W4100 LCD TV.
After reading all the reviews I could find on the web, we looked at sets in TV stores and decided that the SONY was what we wanted. I went to the SONY web site and reviewed the features of all their models and sizes, size of screen vs viewing distance, etc, etc. I am a retired Engineer and of course studied as much info and personal opinions as I could find. Consumers Union Magazine is always a great source of technical features, quality of product and failure history. As reported by others, my TV was hand carried into my house. They were ready to unpack and assemble it for no additional charge, but I chose to do that myself. With the help of a friend, we assembled and set it up. All features worked perfectly. I made some video and sound adjustments to our personal liking. Super easy to follow the “on screen menu” for all features. A FANTASTIC picture with EXCELLENT sound. Not inexpensive, BUT if you desire the best, I believe this is IT!
There were even more expensive SONY models, but the additional features for the extra money were not worth it to me. Watching sporting events is NOW better than being there. National Geographic specials “come alive” in HD on this set. EVERYTHING is more PLEASING and INTERESTING to watch in HD on this set !!!!! A special technical SONY feature on this model makes rapid motion across the screen SMOOTH!!! If you watch sports or racing, check this out on other sets and see the difference. Do I sound like a satisfied customer??
5 Stars Sony KDL-40W4100, What’s Not To Like
What an experience, my first HDTV and my first purchase from Amazon. The TV is simple to set up, easy to install and a breeze to operate. The instructions are very easy to understand and the remote is uncluttered and simple to use. I am amazed by the picture, and when paired with a Sony Home Theater System the experience is incredible. It has been the perfect choice for me to enjoy in my retirement.
I can’t say enough about Amazon either. The price was so good that I had to triple check to make sure I was looking at the right item, plus no tax and free shipping. I ordered on a Thursday and Monday morning smiling delivery personnal brought it in the house for me. This isn’t service like it used to be, it is service like it never was before.
Two thumbs up for Sony and Amazon, I’ve never had it better.
5 Stars One of The Best Flat Tv Ever
I bought this TV just reading the reviews left in here because I work overseas. In the moment I was placing the order had my doubts, whether it will work the way they were saying. I trusted and bought it without telling to my wife.
5 days after, the TV arrived home, my wife was yelling at the phone that a big box got home with a TV, she waited for me to mount it on the wall, when I turned on, everybody at home shut up, we’re hypnotized by the image quality, the sound, it is impressive such technology mounted on my wall.
Now we gather every night to watch a movie or TV, it’s incredible, 100% recommended!!!
5 Stars Luv it!!
Everything i had hoped it to be! After careful research, this Sony 40″ LCD was the one for my room. The picture is superb and with the Sony Soundbar and Subwoofer, completes my personal home theater system. Works flawlessly with my Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Blue Ray movies are a sight to behold!! 100% completely satisfied!!!

5 Stars 52 inch Sony HDTV
Excellent HDTV,worked right out of the box! Shipping was very prompt. I received it in three working days, WOW. Monday Night Football at it’s best!!!
5 Stars Awesome Sony 52W4100
This TV is awesome. Well packaged, easy set up(stand already attached). Picture is amazing for all types (hd, standard def, blue ray). I have tried other brands and Sony is the best. I waited for the 52XBR6 to come out to compare, but I think the picture is better on this one. Seems brighter, better view from angles (and whiter), and much cheaper. The XBR screen seemed a bit more shiny also. The w4100 screen is a little more shiny that some cheaper models but much less than the high end Samsungs and the Plasmas. For now close to 2K this is a great deal.
The flowmotion 120HZ is worth the extra money. Works well especially for TV and sports. I like it on the mid setting for movies, but my son likes it off? So that is a personal preference.
Only slight negative is maybe the stand does not seem that sturdy.. I wonder how the TV would hold up in an earthquake?
Now at least I can stay home and see some great TV, sports, and movies on my 52″ SONY LCD… **** the economy.
5 Stars Best LCD TV Around
I have owned both LCDs this year - the popular Samsung LN52A650 and the Sony KDL52W4100. I have no hesitation in saying that I prefer the Sony way better than the Samsung. Here’s why:
Plus:
- Amazing picture quality - natural colors, amazing black levels, sharpness, clarity on SD broadcasts
- Superior motion enhancement (Motionflow) even on high setting. (superior to Samsung A650 AMP)
- Stylish looks and design
- Decent speakers although I prefer to use my external home theater speakers
- Semi-matte screen reduces glare
Minus:
- Menu layout cumbersome (too much vertical scrolling)
- No remote backlight
- No swivel stand
The minuses are minor issues that I can live with. Overall this is one of the best TVs you can buy at a fair price.
Highly recommended!!
5 Stars Really Nice !!
Have had this LCD TV for 2 months now and am very happy with the quality picture it produces (especially in HD). I have a DVR connected via HDMI cable and optical output going into surround sound system. If you are going to wall mount, it does take a little effort to remove the stand. You also have to be careful lifting the unit due to the gap between the speaker and the bottom of the TV. Much lighter than a plasma and gives off less heat too. With the recent price drop, this is an outstanding deal !
1 Star Defective upon receipt
This TV arrived defective upon receipt. The box looked flawless, but it was dropped or something went wrong somewhere. The screen would blink in and out. Audio generally worked, but would not occassionally. Contacted Sony hotline. Did some gymnastics and convinced them the TV was set up correctly. Got permission to use local service company for warranty work. Needs new LCD panel and board. Parts out of stock. This is the 6th week and no TV yet. I hope this is extremely unusual as I have had good luck with Sony in the past.
