Sony BRAVIA Z Series KDL-46Z5100 Review - Sony BRAVIA Z Series KDL-46Z5100 46-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV

Sony KDL46Z5100 is a great TV. I bought this HDTV after doing a fair amount of research and have already had a Sony 46 "XBR4 which has an incredible picture quality with 120Hz. The unit is also packaged by Sony and the pedestal can be easily installed on the bottom of 'units. This TV is much lighter than the XBR4 and I have been able to tackle alone assembly. It' was so easy to set this TV and I hooked it up to an Onkyo surround sound system and Sony Blu-Ray BDP-N460 (this is the drive that lets you connect to Internet via LAN) player. a few minutes I was up and running with Netflix watching a movie. The color on this TV is fantastic. I've seen a few games to watch 240Hz which makes the difference - and it makes a huge difference and you can also change the settings of your TV. Everything is crystal clear and super strong and there is no obfuscation that I have noticed the rapid movement of images! There are a lot of jacks on this unity of which the characteristic of a LAN Ethernet connection. This is great if you do not have the ability to connect to the Internet using a Blu-Ray has the characteristics of the network. As part of the installation program on television asking if you want to connect to home network.


There is a firmware download available for this Sony KDL46Z5100 TV from the Sony website. You can download the 30MB file to your computer and copy on a USB Flashdrive. Although I do not see any reason to upgrade the firmware, I decided to do it anyway. I downloaded the file from the Sony support site on the Internet and then copied the files to a Sony MicroVault USB flash drive and then popped into the back of the TV. Almost immediately, the TV recognized the files and gave step by step instructions for upgrading. It took a total of about 3 minutes to load the file and the TV has gone in and out about three times with warning screens are not concerned about the power key. After that, the TV said the update was done and I went back to watch a great picture. I was told that Sony will also send you update the firmware on a USB device, if you have a USB drive.

The remote was bigger than I expected, and every button imaginable on it. It has a feature that I thought was lit so great that he could see the keys in the dark. Because the TV is great if you intend to use the pedestal with the TV, you should set the TV to the stand or wall. I put the straps around the base to secure the support that supports the weight of your TV so that children do not accidentally tip the television on. I bought a set of straps (velcro buckle) at Home Depot for about $ 5, which I used on another LCD television with great results. In fact, they worked great and better than other products advertised on the Internet. They promised the TV firmly to avoid possible acquisitions tip.

The TV looks great on the piano black gloss and is thinner than the old model Sony LCD TV's. I hope to have the TV for a long time. Read more reviews.
