CNET Editors' Take
CNET did not review the Sony KDL-52W4100, but we did review a smaller model in the series.
Although CNET did not review the 52-inch Sony KDL-52W4100 we did review the 46-inch Sony KDL-46W4100. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Sony LCD HDTVs are basically identical but for screen size, so we expect that the review of the 56-inch TV will give a good indication of how the 52-inch model will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Sony KDL-46W4100.

Summary Overall I'm sorta happy with my new 52W4100 but faced some buyer's remorse after delivery. I didn't remember that CNET had said that uniformity of the picture dropped off considerably from straight on viewing. On further investigation I found a very detailed review on another site that ...
