Sony KDL40Z4100 Review from Amazon.com

This TV was literally the perfect “fit” for us. The slim design just fits our built-in cabinet with about 1/2 inch to spare on width. This means we can not access the few side mounted inputs and control buttons – but with 4 HDMI inputs in total + component inputs in the back, we have more than enough accessible inputs and the remote does all we need it to. We also found it on sale for $1699.00 – making the price more competitive with other similarly configured TVs – the picture is amazing on Sony’s Bravia KDL40Z4100 lcd – we have been watching the Olympics in HD but have not yet tried a DVD – on Vivid setting the picture is extremely bright and sharp – maybe too bright; there are custom controls for the picture that we have not tried yet. The only problem we have had was the included TV stand – the TV attaches quite easily with 4 included screws – but when we mounted the TV – it was tilted forward at the top – there is no way to adjust tilt, and we determined that an L shaped metal component of the stand that holds the TV was bent – I talked Fry’s into just swapping the stand as the TV worked great; the new stand solved the problem.

The action sports from the Olympics look great – no doubt helped by the KDL40Z4100’s 120 Hz processor.

We also have not noticed any cloud or sparkle artifacts

So if you are tight on space – this is a great “fit.”
