The Bottom Line CNET did not review the Sony KDL-40W4100, but we did review a larger model in the series. Sony's midlevel KDL-46W4100 gets you solid dejudder video processing but otherwise its picture quality falls short of the top tier. With a full suite of interactive features as well as solid picture quality, the Sony KDL-W5100 series might be worth the higher price to streaming video fans. The commendable picture quality of Sony's entry-level 120Hz-equipped LCD makes it a very good value. The Samsung LNB750 series can't beat the picture quality of the best plasmas and LED-based LCDs, but for a conventional LCD, it's one of the best we've tested.
