Were it not for my current problem, I would rate this TV a 4 or 5. I did exhaustive research on LCD televisions and made repeated trips to stores to compare picture quality and features. I gravitated to this particular set for its small footprint (bezel) around the screen, the exceptional picture quality and the Sony name. I have always known Sony TVs to be high quality and reliable........until now.
I babied this puppy on delivery, as if it were fine crystal. It sits on top of a cabinet, free-standing, with plenty of ventilation in a large room. For 23 days it worked great. Then a powerful windstorm knocked out power in NE Ohio and took down cable across the region. The following day I had the TV on throughout the day as I waited for cable to be restored. Late in the afternoon I noticed vertical lines across the screen instead of simply a blank screen.
The set was totally unresponsive via remote or otherwise. It didn't even work with my Sony DVD player --just random vertical

PROS: NON GLARE SCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
1080/24P
120 HZ
SLIM BEZEL
PICTURE QUALITY
CONS: NOT A SINGLE ONE
I PURCHASED THIS TV ON 7-19-08 AND IT WAS THE BEST PURCHASE I HAVE EVER MADE. THE PICTURE QUALITY IS OUTSTANDING AND IT IS A VERY LIGHT AND EASY TO MOVE TV, I WAS THINKING ABOUT GETTING AN XBR4 46" BUT WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET THIS FOR 2200 DOLLARS AND LOOKED AT BOTH OF THEM REALLY CLOSE IT WAS HARD TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE IN PICTURE QUALITY WORTH 600 MORE DOLLARS. WHEN I GOT IT HOME AND SET IT UP THE PICTURE LOOKED REALLY GOOD, BUT AFTER I DID A LITTLE BIT OF TWEAKING IT WAS OUTSTANDING. I HAVE A SONY BLURAY, PS3, AND XBOX 360 AS WELL AS DIRECTY HDVR HOOKED UP TO IT WITH ONE HDMI CABLE FROM MY ONKYO 805 AND ONE COMPONENT CABLE AND ALL OF THEM LOOK GREAT. THE BLURAY PICTURE QUALITY AT 1080/24P LOOKS LIFELIKE AND REALLY PUTS YOU RIGHT IN THE ACTION, AND PLAYING A GAME ON EITHER OF MY CONSOLES JUST BLOWS ME AWAY HOW GREAT THEY BOTH LOOK. IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO DECIDE

This TV is absolutely a dream to watch. No blurs. Watching golf or sporting events rocks!
I was not a big TV fan, but now I love watching all the details this TV presents.
One thing I really enjoy: Watching DVDs.
This TV autosenses when you are watching regular (non-blue-ray) DVDs and somehow enhances the picture.
My understanding is that it delivers the movie in true 24 frames per second.
I can hostly say I was blown away watching DVDs. For example, I watched "I am Legend" and it looked so realistic, it was shocking.
Can't wait to see how Blue-Ray will look.
There are clearly many features I am yet to explore, like the ability to store pictures in the TV.
Really awesome investment. Also very light and easy to move.

I decide on the 46z4100S for the following reasons;
a) No glossy screen glare or bezel glare!
b) small bezel, allowing larger screen on wall space
c) 3" depth on "in-wall mount"
d) 1080P/120HZ/motion control
The Picture Quality is so crystal clear......... just great! Bright, vivid colors are awesome! There are so many features and very easy to set-up.
My wife loves the brushed metal and says, "it doesn't have glare, doesn't look like those 'black plastic' frames". She's candid(LOL) and loves the amazing PQ, when watching her baseball games.
I'm using an in-wall mount and the 3" depth makes it look like a picture on the wall. The "46Z" is perfect from a viewing distance of 9-11 ft. Friends all love it!
I'm still making the viewing adjustment from a 27"CRT floor console. My eyes do more tracking on this larger screen.
