The TV arrived as promised. The TV itself is outstanding - awesome picture quality, sounds is great, 180 degree viewing angle, more than enough connection ports and most of all, easy to use remote. I highly recommend this HDTV to everyone!
Great TV at an affordable price, not flawless though September 22, 2008

It suprises me that Sony come up with a 46", 1080P at less than $1600 retail. I own a 42" Panasonic Plasma and need to get another TV for the basement, and admittedly I want one bigger than 42" too since I sit almost 12 ft away from the TV. Been looking for a LCD this time because of lower energy usage and reflection problem in my living room.
So I bought this one, which is the entry level S series Sony. I was very impressed with its vivid color and excellent image, especially at 1080i or 1080P resolution. I got over the air signal and the digital tuner in this TV works great. However, right out of the box, you do need to spend some time to adjust the setting (color, temp, sharpness etc...) to get the optimal image. I spent almost a week to set it up to my satisfaction, and may be it is just me, the picture does get better and better over the time.
No clouding effect, no other working issue like the earlier Sony S2000 series or even the XBR2 series. To the extent, I like both the plasma and LCD, they are both good, it is just a matter of personal preference. Like what the Consumer Report says, if you have a 42" TV, it won't matter much whether it is true 1080P or not as it is hard to notice on that screen size. With 46", you will really enjoy it only if you sit far enough or else the picture is grainny.
Several things that I think Sony can get better for the KDL46S4100:
1) The start up time is a bit slow, it takes awhile for the picture to come after you turn the TV on.
2) For side viewing, it is a bit discouraging, the picture appear to be less lively and less colorful.
3) More inputs option will be nice, at the back there is only 1 set of component/S Video/RCA input, means you can only use 1 non-HDMI input only and the rest has to be HDMI. There is additional set on the side for hook up to game/camcorder.
4) a card reader/USB port will be nice to plug in and watch picture, Panasonic has this even at their $800 plasma TV.
Overall I have pleasant experience with it, like always, Sony makes great product! It looks great even without the 120Hz motion flow.
By the way, the Sony is sitting in my living room now!
Takes long time to power on the TV (~18sec) August 24, 2008

I got the 46" S4100 TV a couple of days ago. Everything looks great except one thing: it takes about 18 sec every time to power on the TV (I looked at the clock and measured the power on time, it's consistently LONG). Not sure what happened to SONY.
love my new sony bravia August 4, 2008

I recently received my Sony Bravia Flat Screen TV. It was well packaged and protected. It worked right out of the box with very little problem in setup.
The picture quality is excellent, even when viewing non HD broadcasts. I would suggest that you invest in good HD conecting cables and if you do not have a HD coax cable connecting from you cable input to the TV, change it. You will see the difference.
Best TV for the $ July 15, 2008

I purchased the Sony XBR4 52" for my living room as this TV was the one that stood out on the wall of 40 tv's at every electronics store I visited. I then wanted a nice TV for my bedroom but didn't want to spend the $$ as I don't watch TV in the bedroom as often as the living room.
After looking at 46" TV's, again I found Sony to be the one to buy.
This time the Sony KDL-46S4100. It has all of the features I was looking for. I was concerned that the contrast ratio was much lower than the XBR4, however if there is a difference, it's slight. Shows broadcast in full HD like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno look outstanding.
You won't be dissapointed.
Side Note: The first TV ordered via Amazon arrived on time via CEVA (Amazon's main shipper of televisions). I didn't open the box for a week as I was waiting for my cable to be hooked up in the bedroom. After opening the box, a large crack on the screen was clearly visible. I emailed Amazon, they sent another TV at no charge and CEVA picked up the first TV. I opened up the box of the 2nd TV and hooked it up while the delivery men were still in house. Everything was fine on the 2nd TV.
