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 KDL46XBR8 46

It might be expensive, but the 46-inch KDL-46XBR8 from Sony has all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a high-end TV. A local-dimming LED backlight system, 120Hz technology, and that Sony style make for one excellent TV, if you can afford it....

The local-dimming LED backlight system allows this LCD to produce better blacks and have a better overall contrast than many traditional LCD TVs. The use of red, green, and blue LEDs also leads to great color purity ; Motionflow 120Hz Pro technology...

The Sony's price also raised a few eyebrows once it was revealed (only after the performance scoring was complete and before the identities of the sets were unmasked). This is reflected in the value scores. I should also note that this set has a vast...

Using local dimming LEDs, Sony KDL-46XBR8 gives a run at the title of best flat-panel ever. But does it take the crown? The promise of local dimming LEDs is a simple one: significantly increase the contrast ratio of LCDs. Using said technology, this...

Come on, give me some credit!
