Viewing Angle (4.71) Like most LCDs, the KDL-46Z5100 had a poor viewing angle: at 71º, the contrast will dip below 50%. This means everyone on the couch will likely be fine, although we noticed significant differences in picture quality even slightly off-center. If you have a lot of people crowded around the TV, however, you might have more issues.
Reflectance (5.5) The KDL-46Z5100 had some problems with reflectance. We were able to see each and every LED in the array we shined at the screen. Further, the light created vertical and horizontal streaks. This is very distracting. When the light isn't facing the screen directly, the streaks aren't particularly noticeable. The glossy bezel might also catch light, but is far less of an issue, especially given the size of the screen. We wouldn't recommend putting this TV in a room that catches natural light. Video Processing (3.0) The KDL-46Z5100 has a few nice processing features and a lot of other additions that aren't particularly helpful.
