Product Description
Embedded with 1080p format and a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080, the Sony KDL-40Z5100 can seamlessly access 1080i, 720p and 480p/i broadcast signals. But the 40â³ Sony KDL-40Z5100 is empowered by Sony's latest Bravia Engine 3 technology. And this model also features the new faster Motionflow technology with a 240Hz refresh rate, hence crisper and sharper images are likely especially during high motion scenes. With 16:9 aspect ratios, picture quality is expected to be without any motion blur. This LCD model is equipped with 24p True Cinema format, which means movies can be enjoyed in their original 24 frames per second. This LCD also has an improved XMB Menu Interface.

 Excellent television marred by stupid design decisions May 19, 2010
Craig Hollinshead

As many other reviewers have stated, this is an excellent LCD television. The picture and sound quality are outstanding, set up is straightforward, even when connecting the television to the Internet for use with services such as Netflix. When combined with a Bluray player, A/V receiver, and some good speakers you have a top of the line home theatre setup.
However, the high quality of the television is marred by the fact that Sony has chosen to put most of the HDMI ports on the side of the television and HAS REVERSED THE ORIENTATION OF THE HDMI PLUGS. The orientation of the plugs mean that they are only compatible with upward oriented right angle HDMI adapters. Consequently you either have cabling sticking out from the side of the television or you must buy Sony's overpriced HDMI cabling, as the orientation of the plugs makes them incompatible with virtually all right angle HDMI adapters as they are DOWNWARD oriented. Even the flat right angle adapters will not work, as they will mask some of the HDMI ports. Additionally, using a regular cable in the side ports and tying the cable back will result in stress on both the port and cable, leading to one or the other breaking.
It is a shame that Sony's incompetence in handling design details (or their desire to sell customers overpriced HDMI cables) has marred an otherwise fine television.
 SONY KDL-Z5100 40 inch flat screen rocks! May 11, 2010
MOJO (The Big Apple - New York City)
Best picture quality I have ever seen! Awesome vivid colors! 240mhz refresh rate rocks ! Speakers so-so. Hook up to surround sound system higly recommened for home teathre experience. Sony blue ray hook-up awesome. I highly suggest all hook-ups to use monster HDMI cable. Unit has five HDMI ports. Monster HTS 350 good idea to protect 3,125 joules protection. PS. Newegg best price.
Glad I waited May 4, 2010

The biggest TV screen I had until I bought this TV was 20". When I got the Sony 40Z5100 it was like another world. I didn't see Avatar at the theater, stupidly, so when I saw it on this 40" TV I was blown away. I very well may have been extremely happy with any TV of this size after having just a 20" for so long, but this Sony is great and HD was made for baseball. I just have cable, will never go back to DirecTV because they lied to me, but even with cable this has been a fun experience and I'm glad I waited for the price to go down. People shouldn't give anything a low rating because they aren't happy with their buying experience. It's not the TVs fault.
 Sony KDL40Z5100 TV April 18, 2010
Peter Grogan (Washington USA)
Cool look, slight down side is that many cable connectors such as HDMI 2, 3 and 4 are on the side at height, making them hard to hide from some angles. Good multi purpose remote and the picture/sound are pretty good. Excellent for HD sports. As it is dual voltage it is ideal for peopel who travel outside Europe.
Happy customer April 15, 2010

For years I had been checking out flat screens and waiting until I felt that they had evolved to point that I would be satisfied. I made sure that not only blacks were deep black but also different shades of black, I waited until fast motion in the picture were was no longer a blur or that the picture frame didn't break apart. I was leaning toward the Samsung line, the 6 series and up when I came upon reviews for the Sony Z series. I took a chance without seeing the flat screen and going by the reviews of other salespeople who had seen it and I wasn't disappointed. The picture is so good that you could almost tell that the only thing better was going to be the next great thing in evolution would be 3D. The picture is so clear and seems so accurate in High Def. that you couldn't want for much more. The Sony Z series is an LCD TV, I just didn't feel comfortable with the LED's just yet the colors seem untrue but I'm sure in time they will become great but for now I couldn't ask for better. This TV lives up to and exceeds my expectations. Live sporting events feel as if you are there and HD movies are great though there seems to be some differences in the quality of the film picture which you probably wouldn't pick up on if you were viewing a tube TV, which I don't believe is the Z series fault it is more of a testament to how good it is. If you buy this TV you will not be dissappointed. I would also like to point out that while I went on Amazon.com they directed me to another vendor which had this TV for less. Kudos to Amazon.com for their openness.
