I recently purchased the Sony Bravia Z series TV model number KDL46Z4100.

The quality of the picture caught my attention as this particular TV looked better than the others on display. Even though the salesman said the displays were running off a standard loop in the store the picture itself had such detail and lack of motion blurring that it looked almost 3D (sorry for the lack of a better explanation).

However, even with my Blu-Ray player I cannot seem to match the same quality I saw in store. I can watch the exact same scene from The Dark Knight and noticeably tell a difference. Mine does not seem to have the same clarity when in motion.

I have played with the settings and even looked at some additional websites online that give suggestions. Anyone know how the display model gets such a great quality and what specifically the calibrations need to be?

Hi NeoZatan,


Thank you for your interest in TweakTV. Have you tried our Recommended User Menu settings? If not click on the link below and try them and see if they help. They are for cable or Satellite via an HDMI connection, but it should be close as long as you are connected via HDMI.

Thank you for replying. I tried the settings on your page and I still am not getting same motion blur elimination as seen in store. To add to the confusion, I went to the store and wrote down the settings of the display TV and still am not getting the same quality.

Is it possible the PS3 is keeping the motion blur from being eliminated?

I am a Circuit City Sales associate. I recently purchased the 46z and am impressed with the settings that were given from this website. Right out of the box, the tv's motion enhancer is probably turned off. I set mine to standard. One question to ask is what kind of HDMI cable are you running? I have the monster 1000 series and it does wonders. Especially with gaming. I first purchased it for my xbox to use with my 50 inch Panasonic plasma and it made quite a difference over the 400 series monster HDMI. It allows 10gbps compared to 5 from the 400 cable. Right now I have the monster 500 series HDMI hooked to my cable box and 1000 to the Sony BDPS-350 bluray and xbox. With the blu ray the motion blur was fixed significantly. On the xbox i am still figuring out the best settings. If you haven't purchased the cable, defintely look into it. It can handle anything you throw at it. It is also backed by monster for life. So, if ever becomes obsolete, you can trade it in for the better one for free. i hope this cleared up a little for you. Like I was saying, so far I am impressed. Good luck with your tweaking.
