this looks like a pretty good deal.


Can someone familiar with Sony compare this deal with the SonyStyle deal
KDL-46V5100 + PS3 Slim 120GB - $999 w/Free shipping.
Costco Fatwallet Deal

It seems to me a wash and depends upon whether you want a PS3, Blue Ray or Surround system. They look virtually the same feature-wise. Is one of these an older model?

The costco model is older, but has more features...it's also only 3 inches thick


The thickness is interesting, but not critical. What features does the Costco have additionally?

This TV is a very high end Sony

Features:

Costco extends manufacture warranty to 2 years
Returns accepted within 90 days from date of purchase
Screen Size (measured diagonally): 46"
Aspect Ratio: 16:9
Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Contrast Ratio: 3,000:1
Dynamic Contrast Ratio: 30,000:1

Appreciate the post, but...no, it's not.
Amazon has bubdles with the higher end 46 inch tvs for the same price after shipping for Costco is tabulated.


Speaking of Manufature Warranty, if you pay with AMEX, then also the Std warranty is extened by one year over the manufacturer warranty. Check out AMEX benifits of your card.

At Amazon, you geenrally get free shipping and no tax (in most states). Return policy have to be checked though.

Enjoy...


Very High end?
I think this model is part of the V-series LCD's Sony has...which is the "low-end" 120hz LCD's they offer.
According to forum postings, the specs are identical to the KDL-46V5100 except the auto-dimming feature (which is a negligible feature).


does anyone know whats the response time for this tv?


Costco's is very high end...but its last years model. Its equal to the 46Z4100.
VL160
The biggest con for the Costco version is that people complained that it has bad viewing angle.

46Z4100 is older compared with 46V5100. 46V5100 comes with 1:50K Dynamic contract ratio, where as this one is 1:30K


too bad its out of stock now.. for the sound system.


a contrast ratio of 30K to 1 is not high end in today's market.


does any body notice any problem with viewing angle with either one of them 46vl160 and 46V5100.

I noticed that on 46vl160 .. after an angle of 140/145 the pictures start to fade....

otherwise the picture quality is excellent

Yea...the VL160 is same as the Z4100 which has very poor viewing angles.
Do a search on the AVSForum and look it up.
Besides that, it has excellent picture quality.


Yes the pic quaily is awesome on 46VL160, only prob is the view angle.I am tempted to take it back.

how about the 46V5100 is that any better? I read some similiar stuff about it as well..


any reviews of the sound system


the sound seems great i dont see any problem with mine.. only thing i notice is the viewing angle. otherwise its an awesoem tv

V series has other issues like red flashes. Seems like the W series is the one to get
if interested in Sony and don't want to fork out $$$ for the XBR or Z series.

If you look at FW, there is a deal right now for the 46W5100 + PS3 + Game + Movie for ~$1050 + tax.
