Expensive ; benefits of 240Hz difficult to discern ; dejudder modes can produce artifacts ; some screen uniformity and off-angle issues ; dark areas tinged bluer ; most free streaming-video options not compelling
Sony's high-end KDL-XBR9 series of LCD TV offers a bundle of extras and solid picture quality, but the price will turn off most buyers.

Couldn't be happier
NASCAR and football on this TV are outstanding. So is Planet Earth. Just wonderful.
Easy set up. Great picture
It won't pour me a beer
Need to see to believe!
Sony out did themselves with this one. There is no glare whatsoever and the room it is placed in has almost three full walls of windows. I replaced a 36" Sony and believe it or not this 52" took up less space in the corner!
Ease of installation, viewing angles, quality of picture and sound all are outstanding
Not one
Great TV
I was in a Sonystyle store one day and amongst all the 52-inch HDTVs on display, this one caught my eyes - and those of many other customers.
Everything
HDMI inputs on the side make it difficult to conceal wiring but not a big problem
