Top-Notch Video Performance The XBR KDL-46XBR4 is a 1080p television with a full 1920 x 1080 resolution, the highest resolution available for the sharpest, clearest picture. The KDL-46XBR uses the most recent HDMI 1.3 interface, which houses both audio and video signals in one connector and has the bandwidth to support the data needed for the high resolution. Sony's Bravia Engine Pro Full Digital Video Processor upconverts all video signals to 1080p so you can watch all your old DVDs on this glorious display. Sony complements the high resolution with the latest technology in color reproduction. The KDL-46XBR is a 10-bit display with 10-bit processing. Most panels are only 8-bit. The added bit depth here means a larger color palette for more faithful color reproduction and smoother transitions from one color to the next. Additionally, the display also supports the new x.v.Color standard, which dramatically increases the available color space. The end result is a picture that is so detailed, colorful, and vibrant, you'd have a hard time distinguishing it from real life. The KDL-46XBR4 features Sony's Motionflow technology, which automatically adjusts for and applies the proper processing for optimal motion reproduction depending on the video input. This includes support for 24 frames per second (24p) video, which displays video content at the 24-frames-per-second rate at which it was originally filmed or recorded. With 24p, you get the most faithful possible reproduction of the original. A Wide Variety of Inputs This Sony television's wide variety of inputs ensures compatibility with your other home theater components. There are three HDMI connections for Blu-Ray, HD DVD, and other technologies requiring the high bandwidth, and two component video inputs, three composite video inputs, one S-Video input, one PC Audio and Video input, and five analog audio inputs. Even with a collection of legacy components, you shouldn't have a problem connecting to the KDL-46XBR4. Stunning Looks The KDL-46XBR4 not only displays stunning video but is itself a head-turner. It features Sony's unique floating glass frame along with a black bezel that can be interchanged with optional color bezels to match the display to your decor. Outstanding Ergonomics and Simplicity of Control Sony's Xross Media Bar interface is an award-winning, intuitive on-screen display that makes setup a breeze, with menus and controls logically laid out for quick access. The KDL-46XBR4 also features Theatre Sync technology, based on the HDMI-CEC standard, which means you can easily connect to and control compatible devices. For example, when the KDL-46XBR4 is connected to a compatible DVD player, you can turn on both the DVD player and the television and start playing a DVD with a single push of a button on the remote. When you're done, another push of a button powers everything down. With Theatre Sync, you can spend time enjoying the movie rather than waste time setting everything up. More Than Just a Television Because more and more people expect to view photos on their HDTVs, Sony developed a Photo TV HD mode that optimally sets the sharpness, gradation, and color to make digital photos look like printed photography. The KDL-46XBR4 is backed by a 1-year limited warranty for parts and labor. Full HD Quality HDTV provides up to six times the visual detail of the Standard Definition television. You need an HDTV set, HD sound and a source of HD content to make sure you're really getting HD. One-step Simplicity It's easy to setup your HDTV system. A single HDMI cable carries both audio and video signals, while it also banishes confusing setup and cord tangles. You're Surrounded HD broadcasting can include up to 7.1 channels of surround sound.

I have had this tv for three months and it has worked perfectly. I haven't had any of the problems mentions in other reviews such as fan noise and clouding. The picture is aboslutely stunning when watching a blu-ray movie. The sound from the speakers is good so there is no rush to get a sound system. Free shipping from Amazon made buying it from them the best value...just be proactive and contact CEVA (the delivery company) when it arrives at your local hub to schedule a delivery time instead of waiting for them to call you which may take a couple of extra days.

I've had this TV for almost a month now and all I can say is....(in my best Keanu Reeves voice) WHOA!!! The XBR4 is simply amazing. Blu Ray movies look absolutely stunning on this set and the 120Hz make you feel like you are on the set during filming. It's that clear. I wonder how I've survived this long without HD. The TV automatically sets itself to whatever source you are watching. For example, using a standard dvd player will set the TV to NTSC setting. HD channels are set to 1081i and the PS3 is set to display at full 1080P. The upconversions look great on the tv as well. I haven't had any issues with hearing the fan as many have complained about (knock on wood!!). All in all, this is a fantastic set and worth every penny.

I've had this product for 4 weeks now and it's just amazing. If you enjoy playing games and watching movies a lot, this is definitely for you. The MotionFlow is awesome when watching movies and watching fast-paced sports on HighDef. Its design looks great in every angle and is Perfect for any size room! I have a Sony Theater System that includes only two Front Stand-up Speakers which doesnt give off too much treble, but you can use the tv itself as a center speaker which has crisp quality sound! You won't regret buying this product.

I have had this TV for two weeks and have had no problems. There is no fan noise, it doesn't get too hot, and it doesn't have clouding when the screen is black. When the screen is in a dark scene it is one of the best blacks I have seen. The Picture is so good on this LCD I almost can't quit watching it. Amazon delivered the TV and set it up in 2 minutes, it has been good ever since.

All in all this is a pretty good TV. There are only a couple of things that bug me: - The interface for the options menus is a little laggy, which is annoying because there are so many options to go through. I also found it difficult to tweak the colors because the options are not labeled very intuitively. However, after messing with it for a while I was able to turn off all of the filters and get a pretty good image. - I was surprised with how much the response time (8 ms I think) bothered me. I play games on my PC with an LCD monitor so I didn't think it would be a problem, but turning the camera in Grand Theft Auto 4 was a little blurry on this TV. It wasn't a big problem though, just a minor annoyance. I was still able to enjoy the game just fine. I didn't notice this issue while watching movies. On the plus side, the screen kind of blurs reflections so glare isn't a huge problem, even with lights on behind me. I'm very happy with the TV in general. If I were going to buy a TV again, I would reconsider whether LCD is the best choice, but I would still consider this TV.
