The good: Reproduces a relatively deep shade of black; generally accurate color; good dejudder processing in Standard mode; extensive feature set with Yahoo Widgets and built-in streaming-video options including Amazon Video on Demand and soon Netflix; attractive styling with thin bezel; plenty of connectivity with four HDMI, two component-video, and one PC input.
The bad: Expensive; benefits of 120Hz difficult to discern; cannot separate dejudder and antiblur modes; some screen uniformity issues; dark areas tinged blue; most free, streaming-video options not compelling.
The bottom line: With a full suite of interactive features as well as solid picture quality, the Sony KDL-W5100 series might be worth the higher price to streaming video fans.
Yahoo TV widgets, 120Hz motion Flo, Bravia 3 engine, 100k dynamic contrast ratio.I also love the picture frame style around the TV with the SONY logo illuminated, very slick!
I don't like that it's not wifi enabled. I don't have my router anywhere near my TV so I have to buy a wireless bridge to access Yahoo TV Widgets. Blacks look a little light at times but I don't know if that is normal for the programming
