Sony KDL-46Z4500

When it comes to AV, bigger numbers are usually better. But can the Sony KDL-46Z4500, the world's first TV with 200Hz processing, really be twice as good as a 100Hz TV? The headline 200Hz system simply Adds three extra frames of Newly generated image data for every frame in the original source. This does not just mean repeating the same image four times. Instead, the KDL-46Z4500 calculates completely new intermediate images, Taking into account the vectors of any movement in the picture. Clever. Stunning Sony spec The processing power required to conjure up so many images is considerable, however, so we'll have to be on the look out for any nasty side effects as the 200Hz engine goes about its business. Especially as the 200Hz processing is Certainly not the only video processing system in play. There's also a new mother called Image Blur Reduction, which enhances the sharpness of the source of individual frames before the End Breast Cancer 200Hz engine gets into them. Plus, the set enjoys Sony's new Bravia Engine 2 video processing engine, with its customary focus on Improving COLORS, contrast, detailed, noise absorption spectrophotometer and the motion. The TV's connections initially disappoint by providing only three HDMIs when we like our premium Sets to have four. But major redemption comes from a USB port and a DLNA-certified ethernet port that Mind you access to multimedia files on your PC. The Midnight Sky bezel, meanwhile, complete with a fine of Sheen Sparkling dust and trademark see-through panels along the bottom edge, the TV makeover distinctively - and alluringly - Sony. However, we were recorded by the picture adjustment flexibility on offer from what is, after all, one of Sony's top-line TVs. Frustrating remote control, we love the Sony KDL-46Z4500's excellent dual-axis Menus onscreen, with their clean presentation and organització sensible, but we dislike its remote control just as much. It stupidly puts the menu navigation tabs inside another Circle containing more important buttons - meaning that we accidentally and repeatedly kept choosing the wrong one. While the 200Hz effect nEvEr pictures are excellent by the standards of normal LCD TV, the extent of the 200Hz difference is not quite as profound as we'd hoped it would be. Although there does seem to be a little more clarity and fluidity in the KDL-46Z4500's pictures than you find in the 100Hz Sets (including Sony's own W4500 model) the difference is only marginal. For our money, Philips' HD Natural Motion technology actually delivers more Dramatic increases in the clarity and fluidity than the Sony's 200Hz. However, 200Hz does have key advantages over the Philips engine. It goes about its business while throwing up hardly any nasty side effects - at least provided you do not set it any higher than its level of the Standard, that is. This means there's no need to be forever revisiting the onscreen Menus like you do to get the best from Philips' Perfect Engine pixel TVs. Sharper standard-def What's more, the alerts delivered to the motion by 200Hz are Interested by Plenty of other picture strengths. Colors are aggressively Painted, but not at the Expensive of subtlety and naturalism, for instance. Standard-def signals are sharpened up nicely to the KDL-46Z4500's Full HD resolution. Black absorption spectrophotometer are generally among the deepest we've seen on any LCD TV that does not use the LED technology. Overalls, and the picture looks extremely detailed, and Sharp with HD sources. There are occasions when black absorption spectrophotometer are reduced by the Sudden Appearance of low-level background noise. There are also times when HD images suddenly look a little soft - presumably as the 200Hz engine sporadically struggles to keep up with it Tricky subject.
When it comes to AV, a greater number usually better.

But Sony can kdl-46Z4500, the world's first TV with 200Hz processing, is to be twice as good 100Hz TV?

The main information systems 200Hz enough to add three additional frames the new data generated for each image in the frame of the original source.

This means not only repeat the same image four times. However, kdl-46Z4500 fully calculate the new image, consider the vectors of movement in each image. Clever.

Sony room spec

Processing power required to imagine many pictures enough, however, then we will be on display for every nasty side effects as the engine 200Hz go about its business. Especially as 200Hz processing is certainly not the only video processing system in play.

There is also a new trick called Image Blur Reduction, which increases the sharpness of individual sources 200Hz frame before the engine to get stuck in them. Plus, enjoy the new collection of Sony's Bravia Engine 2 video processing engine, with a focus on improving the traditional color, contrast, detail, the level of noise and movement.

TV connection initially disappointing with only provide three HDMIs when we like our premium to have four sets. But the main redemption comes from a USB port and DLNA certification-port network, which allows you to access multimedia files on your PC.

The Midnight Sky bezel, while, complete with a fine sheen of dust and gleaming trademark see-through panel at the bottom edge, making TV distinctively - and alluringly - Sony.
However, we are disappointed with the image adjustments in the offer the flexibility of what, after all, one of Sony's top-line TV.

Frustrating the remote control

We like the Sony kdl-46Z4500's very good dual-axis onscreen menu, clean them with the presentation and coherent organization, but we do not like the remote control as many.

It is foolish put the tab navigation menu in the other circle contains the more important key - which means that we deliberately and repeatedly continue to choose one.

Effect of 200Hz

Meanwhile, the image that really is very good by normal standards LCD TV, far from 200Hz difference is not as large as we would be expected.

Although not seen a little more clarity and simplicity in kdl-46Z4500's image than you find in the 100Hz set (including Sony's own W4500 model) the difference is only marginal. For our money, Philips' HD Natural Motion technology actually provide more dramatic increase in clarity and ease of Sony's 200Hz.

However, 200Hz still have a button that Philips more prominent from the engine. This is about business while vomiting almost every nasty side effects - at least not give you determine that any higher than the standard, that is. This means there is no need revisiting forever onscreen menu as you do to get the best of Philips' Perfect Pixel Engine TV.

Fraudster-standard working

What's more, the improvement delivered by the movement 200Hz join with many other image strength. Color is painted aggressive, but not from the expensive delicacy, and naturalism, for example.

Standard-working signal both to the sharp kdl-46Z4500's Full HD resolution. Black levels are generally among the deepest we've seen on any LCD TV that does not use the LED technology. And the overall picture looks very clear and detailed with HD sources.

There are opportunities when the black level reduced by the sudden appearance of the low level of background noise. There are also times when suddenly see the HD picture a little soft - perhaps as sporadic machine 200Hz struggle to maintain a particularly complex subject.
