The Z series is Sony's midline TV series. (Better than the S, V, and X, not as good as the XBR). This TV usually sells for $1500, so you're getting a significant savings by going for the refurbished one. Just so you know, I called my local Sony Style store to see about getting it in person and was told that the refurbished models are only available at outlet stores and online.
Well it's a 10-bit panel, and one step below the XBR. Alot of these got returned for various problems, as a search on avsforum will confirm, but if it's been refurbished it should work like new. I wouldn't risk it without getting an extended warranty on a refurbed higher end Sony LCD as most repairs will cost $$$. $179 to make sure you have a working TV for 5 years might be your best best as these refurbished ones only come with a 90 day warranty.
Considering getting this or the 52" Sharp

I think you are confusing the Z for the V. The 46" Z made it down to $1599 early this year/late last at either BB or CC which was a steal for that model at the time. That's as cheap as that one had gotten, even online. I was actively keeping an eye on them at the time.

Sorry, but MNFRUGALSHOPPER is right, it was the Z. Got one myself back then. You must have missed the deal.
