Enhanced Xross Media Bar™ (XMB™)

Enhanced Xross Media Bar™ (XMB™) makes it simple and intuitive to navigate the television's menus, controls, and user settings.

HDMI™ and PC connectivity

HDMI™ and PC connectivity transmit both uncompressed digital video and multi-channel digital audio on the same cable for maximum versatility. (4) HDMI™ inputs deliver up to 1080/60p input capable video content. Additionally, a PC input1(HD-15 pin) offers up to a 1920 x 1080p connection to your PC so you can use your HDTV as a computer monitor.

24p True Cinema mode

24p True Cinema mode enables you to enjoy films at their intended 24 fps (frames per second) when viewed using a 24p capable output device, such as a Blu-ray Disc™ player.

Voice Zoom

Voice Zoom extracts the "center" sound (where the human voice is positioned) so you can control the volume of commentators.

DMeX™² functionality

DMeX™² functionality lets you expand your HDTV’s capabilities by connecting optional BRAVIA® Link Modules, such as the DMX-NV1 BRAVIA® Internet Video Link module (sold separately).

BRAVIA® Sync™ capability

BRAVIA® Sync™ capability combines the one-touch access and control functionality of BRAVIA® Theatre Sync™ with the ability to control CEC-enabled Sony® Handycam® camcorders using the TV’s remote and an on-screen display.

Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE)

Advanced Contrast Enhancer circuit (ACE) dynamically controls the backlight improving contrast and resulting in deep blacks in dark without losing fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the picture.

Favorites function

Favorites function features rich graphics capability that makes it easy and fun to quickly access video content.

Motionflow 60Hz technology

Motionflow 60Hz technology allows you to enjoy movies and prime-time TV (film-based content) with a clarity and resolution in motion that will spoil you. Sony’s Motionflow motion-compensation algorithm identifies film content and removes “judder”. That means you'll get a clearer picture during sweeping pans with reduced visible jerking or stuttering.

TV Guide Interactive Program Guide

TV Guide Interactive Program Guide is integrated into Sony’s exclusive Xross Media Bar™ user interface to deliver continually updated program.

BRAVIA Engine™

BRAVIA Engine™ fully digital video processor significantly reduces noise, enhances overall image detail, and optimizes contrast.

S-Force® Front Surround enhancement

S-Force® Front Surround enhancement function generates realistic, virtual three-dimensional “surround sound” from the two speakers in the TV.

VESA® compatible hole spacing

VESA® compatible hole spacing uses an industry-standard mounting hole pattern that can be used with VESA-compliant mounting brackets.

KDL-46V4100 3.9 5 14 14
amazing picture Have had this BRAVIA KDL-46V4100 about 3 weeks. It replaced a 5 year old SONY 51" projection screen. This is really the next level of picture quality. I am more than just a little pleased with the clarity and vividness of the picture. Was very easy to set up with cable tv and DVD inputs. This is the first time I have used HDMI cable and must say I first used component cables and then compared with HDMI hook-up. Found a noticable improvement. Very impressed. Using SONY DVD progressive scan and also very pleased with results. Wife likes it too, that alone is worth alot. November 24, 2008
It is good for only 1st 2 years This product is good for Max 3 Years. After 3rd year It is a trash. It start displaying lines, few days these lines get cleared after 30 to 40 minutes. It get worst as days goes. July 13, 2012
DO NOT BUY This TV was good for the first 2 years. Now, it has black lines across the TV and its blurry in some spots. Im not the only one that has encountered this problem. Apparently it is a reoccurring problem with certain models of Sony TV's. Sony is refusing to help us on this and all they keep doing is telling us to get it fixed ourselves. The repairs are going to cost more than half of the TV itself. Its ridiculous! Why is the TV only built to last for 2 years? huh sony? Get your stuff right. DO NOT BUY THIS TV. June 11, 2011
Rethink your purchase We have always been a Sony household until this flat screen arrived. After the warranty was up the screen started getting 3-4 horizontal lines across the screen and takes 30 minutes to clear up. Called Sony but it would cost more to fix it than to buy a new one. Very disappointed. March 9, 2011
