The Bottom Line	Sony's well-featured, smartly styled KDL-46Z4100 performs well enough, but its picture doesn't match that of the best LCD TVs.	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.	CNET did not review the Sony KDL-40Z4100/B (black), 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.	While not up to the picture quality of Samsung's topflight models, the feature-rich, uniquely styled LNB650 series still outperforms most LCDs on the market.
