Z series is the "economy line" Sony. You can probably get better value with a Samsung or Sharp 42".

"S" is actually the economy line. The 4100's are older models, I believe. It was my understanding that only some of the XBR's are better than the Z's.

Thank you. Sony made it very difficult to do a comparison when they came out with the Z, W, and S series.
I own an XBR but my latest purchase was a Samsung.

For some reason Sony likes to make everything difficult. Their documentation supplied with the TV's are very vague. I bought a 52s5100 that had been displayed at the store so it was set for commercial mode. When I got it home and tried using the custom settings it would revert back to the vivid setting. I had to search the internet to find out to reset it. They don't even give an explanation as to what some of the settings are.
