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 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.
