It's a pretty basic TV. I might have an older model unit than you, plus Sony has a million fucking tv's that are 46 inches.
Yes, they have tons of different models, mine is KDL46W5150. It didn't have the netflix streaming out of the box, I had to do a software update on the TV then it got a bunch of new features. Thats the only good thing about sony sets, they have software updates. It can also stream some other crap like blip.tv/wired/epicurious recipe videos and bunch of random internet TV sites, its nuts to me what tvs can do these days, all i really do with it is ps3 and stream netflix for movies/tv shows

somewhere in the settings menu, i had to dig around to find it, also your tv might not have it. Does it have an ethernet port on the back? i have it plugged directly into my home router.

Actually rear projection CRTs still produce the best quality image, but you hardly see anyone buying those anymore.... Both LCD and Plasma have their pros and cons, one isn't better than the other flatout, depends on what you're looking for. Each new generation of LCD sets is getting better, especially the new "LED" backlit sets. I wouldn't go as far to say the picture looks "much better" - refresh rates are getting very fast on LCDs, and the blacks are getting just as deep. Plasmas are more cost-effective in the 50 inches+ range still though.
Also like USG is saying top tier brands include Samsung/LG/Sony at the moment, so going with a cheap brand will cost you more in the long run.
