Thanks TraceT, unfortunantly I can't control the level of lighting in my room very well so a matte screen would be preferable. I had read on this review
Sony Bravia KDL-40Z4500 - DigitalVersus
that the screen was matte but I can't seem to find a display model anywhere to check.
It gets all analogue + SD + HD channels. It does not do 3D though.
Hi all , got my TV today - and its really amazing. I've been waiting a long time but couldn't decide to go for the 46x or z. But since the design of the z4500 is much more elegant as it is with the x( two speakers left and right) I chose the z. And the pros of the x arent really that noticeable as the design is.
But might anyone give me his settings like backlight, contrast ...as I did not have time so far to adjust the tv .
K thx in advance and merry x-mas.
I use these settings on my KDL46Z4500...

Used Video Essentials (Blu-ray) to set up.
Sources include PS3 & Virgin V+ HD. Use the same settings for everything and love it to bits!
So I can watch BBC HD and ITV HD on it?
Yes. it displays any content you can throw at it except 3D.
Does this TV receive Freeview HD or just Freeview?
How long has it been on display? That's a pretty good offer, imo, it still stacks up very well against many modern screens, particularly as far as gaming is concerned, or if built in sound quality is an issue.Thanks.
I have the option of buying a display model of the 40Z4500 for £515.
I think I'll pass on it.

Is the remote control for this tv also able to control Blueray on the Playstation 3?
I think it's only for a standalone Blu-ray player as it doesn't have any effect on our phat PS3's Blu-ray.
