I am looking for a 46" TV, and consider the Sony new line 46V4100 or an old 46W3000. If their prices are the same, which one should I pick?


46V4100 looks better with new BE2 engine.

46W3000 is 10-bit panel vs 46V4100 which is 8-bit panel

yeah the panel is the only difference,otherwise the V41000 is definitely better than W3000

I hv the 46V3000 which has the std BE and wish I had the BE2 engine. I talked to a well-versed salesman at Ultimate Electronics and he showed me side by side the diff between BE (3000) and BE2 (4100). The colors are more true with BE2. Reds, fleshtones. The new color processor makes a bigger diff than the panels.
