Compare Sony KDL40Z5100 VS:

The Sony Z5100 falls just short of the Sony XBR9 series, but still features the same widespread Internet connectivity, with four HDMI ports for greater connectivity between different systems and a slew of picture customization features. As with other models in the Sony Bravia series, it also comes equipped with an energy saving Eco Menu intended to cut down on energy consumption. Despite the fact that it does not possess the same moniker held in reserve for the XBR9 series, and it does not feature the same Live Color Creation technology, the decrease in price from the 40XBR9 and performance increase over the 40W5100 LCD makes the Z5100 a sound investment.
