ProsFirst and foremost, this is one handsome TV. I had the chance to use the KDL-46S4100, the KDL-46V5100 and now, in review, and will be the keeper, the V series from last year which is the KDL46V4100. In comparison to the two, I could honestly say that having the 120Hz Motionflow processor would be the most notable difference on this TV's. Any hype, price and whatever terminolgies from contrast ratios, dynamic contrast ratios to 60Hz vs 120Hz and now, even 240Hz are just another way of taking you money. Never understood the term "Opera Effect" with the Motionflow enhanced TV's till I get to take one home and play with every adjustments possible. I personally don't like it too much as it tends to make the film/movie look so smooth, it seems fake and animated.

Then now, I have the V series from last year which oddly enough, was only manufactured March of '09 which is not even a month ago. It has a great display on Standard Definition sources and needless to say HD is just mind blowing. I was a little worried at first after the intitial setup because of a dimmer screen. Dimmer meaning i have maxed out the backlight, brightness and contrast settings of the video adjustments then finally realizing that the Light Sensor on this TV(enery saving purpose that automatically sense ambient light conditions) is On by default. Turning it Off made it all acceptable to my liking. It also has this feature called ACE (Advance Contrast Enhancer) which on my experience on the V5100, made dark scenes darker and the transition to bright scenes would make it very annoying but so far, I have watched the same movies (Underworld 1 & 2) on the very scenes and have not experienced it yet on this V4100. All the connections you can ask for as having 4 HDMI, 3 in the back and 1 on the side along with matching component video for endless connection possibilities. Each every input has its own seperate customizable controls so you can have it adjusted from just about any sources. For example, my DVD Karaoke has a 480i output which has a very obvious degraded picture quality as compared to a Sony HDMI upconverting DVD player and then of course, there's the Blue Ray which is just beyond belief. You might think that "Can it possibly get any clearer than this?" It even has this Auto Wide feature that works with my cable box from Cox that automatically scales your non HD sources to "Full" format which eliminates the black side bars.

The sound compared to the previous two is suprisingly fuller and louder on this set. It does not compare to a fully dedicated surround system (which by the way the S Force surround on this TV only makes the built in TV volume sound weaker) but more than acceptable for everyday viewing. There is so much good stuff to say about this TV and hopefully a little bit of this info helps. This KDL46V4100 is just plain great and I highly recommend it.
ConsHeavier than the S series and the present V series. Higher elelctricity consumption as compared to specs on the other TV's. No Motionflow for Pixar movies only.(not a big fan anyways)

Review:I still can't believe the deal I got from Dell being able to acquire this set for $999.00 plus a 4 year warranty for $149.00 with free shipping. Thanks to Dell I get to afford this awesome TV finally. Good luck getting yours!
