By Robert Heron

Award: Editor's Choice!

A uniquely styled, energy-efficient LED-lit LCD HDTV, the 46-inch Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR8 ($3,999.99 list) takes picture quality to new heights and sets higher standards for contrast and color reproduction. Multimedia mavens may find the set's ...

Stellar picture contrast. Excellent color thanks to multicolored LEDs

More expensive than LCD models of similar size. Wider than most same-size HDTVs. Limited network multimedia capabilities

The 46-inch Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR8 lacks the integrated multimedia capabilities of other LED-based HDTVs, but it makes up for it with picture quality that's second to none.

The Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR8's picture quality is sublime, easily the best I've seen to date in an LCD television. All ShotsWith thin, side-mounted speakers embedded in clear plastic so that they almost appear to float in midair, the KDL-46XBR8 is...
