| The Bottom Line | CNET did not review the Sony KDL-40Z4100/B (black), but we did review a larger model in the series. | Sony's well-featured, smartly styled KDL-46Z4100 performs well enough, but its picture doesn't match that of the best LCD TVs. | CNET did not review the Sony KDL-40Z4100 (silver), but we did review a larger model in the series. | The commendable picture quality of Sony's entry-level 120Hz-equipped LCD makes it a very good value. | 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. |
