Reviews of the Sony KDL-46Z4100/B (black)

CNET Review
The Good: Accurate primary colors and color decoding; reproduces relatively deep black levels; solid dejudder processing; sleek styling with compact cabinet; plenty of connectivity with four HDMI and one PC input; can access photos over the home network.
The Bad: Occasional backlight fluctuation in dark areas; less accurate color decoding; red trails visible in some moving material, network streaming excludes music and video files.
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.
