Good points:: Picture Quality is amazing and the ability to turn off Aux inputs that you are not using is really useful because it has a lot of additional inputs, firmware updating via usb stick and BRAVIA sync are good
Bad points:: I have mostly bravia sync equipment, HT-SS360 and BDP-S360 and i would have that i would be able to see all the AV connections on the HTSS360 in the channel menu but i can only see the Bravia Sync devices.

Product Features

Screen size (Inches)	46
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Type of screen	LCD
Most small flatscreen TVs have LCD screens. Some larger TVs have plasma screens. Some very new TVs have LED screens. Traditional TVs are called Standard or CRT.
3D	No

HD TV	Full HD 1080p
‘HD Ready’ is a Europe-wide standard designed to made HD technology less confusing. HD Ready TVs must have • Minimum resolution of 720 horizontal lines (in widescreen format) • Ability to display 720p and 1080i formats • An HDMI or Digital Video Interface (DVI interface) Full HD is a higher standard. Full HD TVs have screen resolutions of 1080p and can output at least 24 frames per second.

Some products come with built-in DVD players or Blu Ray players.
Freeview or Freesat tuner	Freeview
Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service, which gives you HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky. You need a dish to receive Freesat but not Freeview. For more information see the Freeview site or the Freesat site. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service.

Number of HDMI ports	4
Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
Number of scart ports	2
Scart sockets are places where you can connect other devices to your TV. If you already have a DVD player, a VCR and a Playstation you might want to make sure your new TV has enough Scart interfaces so you don’t have to keep crawling round the back of the TV.

Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the Sony KDL-46W5810

can i watch movies in full screen how do i do this thanks

tony asked on 24 Jul 2011
1. Hi Tony, I can watch all films fullscreen-so if this is not working I'd suggest changing the display format setting on the tv, but more than likely it is the input device (i.e. Blu-ray or DVD player) not transmitting picture in the correct format. Look at the output settings on that device.
  
  Tom replied on 25 Jul 2011
2. Hi Tony, you can change screen formats via the remote, you should also be able to adjust the output of your dvd player etc.
