Sony Bravia KDL-XBR4 review: Sony Bravia KDL-XBR4

 

Sony Bravia KDL-XBR4

Excellent black-level performance for an LCD; accurate color; 120Hz processing smooths judder in motion; fine screen uniformity and off-angle viewing for an LCD; numerous picture controls; solid connectivity with three HDMI inputs and one PC input;...

Expensive; benefits of 120Hz blur-reduction hard to discern; smooth motion seems unnatural for film-based material and introduces some artifacts; main menu system kludgy to operate; many picture adjustments seem unnecessary and/or harmful.

Although not quite as impressive as the best plasmas, the 46-inch Sony KDL-46XBR4 outperforms any flat-panel LCD we've tested so far.

Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR4 LCD HDTV

 

The Basics: Sony's XBR4 and XBR5 lines represent the company's top-of-the-line 2007 LCDs; the two lines are distinguished by aesthetic differences but offer similar features and performance. The KDL-46XBR has the same floating-bezel design as 2006's...

Sony BRAVIA KDL-46XBR4 46� LCD HDTV Review

 

When displaying high definition material, the BRAVIA KDL-46XBR4 conspicuously showcases all of Sony's video processing prowess. But what endears this HDTV to me is how well it handles mundane standard def material and backs it up with a rather...

Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR4 LCD Digital Color TV

 

Last year when I reviewed the 1080p Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR2 at our sister publication, it "really knocked me out." Now we have the new $3,599 Bravia KDL-46XBR4.

Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR4 LCD Digital Color TV

 

But all this framing results in a set that takes up more room than many models from other manufacturers with larger screens. If you have the room for it, however, and like the design (I find it distinctive in today's sea of anonymous, glossy black...

As for more screen area, if you need it there's always the 52" KDL-52XBR4. We haven't tested that one, but 46" isn't exactly tiny. And if you're moving up from a CRT set the KDL-46XBR4 will look positively huge. It will also look great. Highly...

Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR4 LCD Digital Color TV

 

At $3,599 the KDL-46XBR4 is also considerably less expensive than the 46XBR2—a reflection on the continuing downward trend in flat panel prices. But the Sony is still a premium priced product in an increasingly competitive market. We're here to see if...
