The Sony Bravia KDL-46W4100 is an attractive and fully featured LCD HDTV. We were generally impressed by its performance, with dark blacks, accurate whites and a bright display. That doesn't mean there are no negatives, however, as the color gamut is slightly off and the viewing angle is simply terrible. Do the positive outweigh the negatives? Read the review to find out.

Section The Good The Bad
Tour & Design Interesting design with smoky glass on the edges.
Controls on the top of the TV?

Color gamut is slightly off.

Can cause a cartoonish look with high speed motion.

Simulated surround sound didn't do much.

Turn the backlight up and it will cost you.
