Expert review by : Campbell Simpson (goodgearguide_com_au)

Sony BRAVIA KDL46XBR45

 

One of the best televisions we have seen, but it has a hefty price tag.

Great contrast and black levels, LED back-lighting

Expensive, imperfect build quality, sharpness issues

Sony’s KDL-46XBR45 produces fantastic quality images, but this excellence comes at a price.

Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR45

 

I am facing a problem with the panel and when the fans turn on above normal sound making viewing experience horrifying. The panel was replaced but the white patches have not been rectified. Instead they have increased.

Only the name of sony

Fan noise/White patches on screen

Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR45

 

I Bought the 40inch XBR for $2600 and even though it lacks the LED Backlighting it looks superb. Bing Lee quoted me $5000 for the 46inch and at that price I think its a sure winner- miles ahead of the Samsung.

XBR Series is made in Japan ; Its Sony

Retail price is dear but if you shop around you can get a bargain

Snake, in answer to your previous question - as I understand it, LED backlighting is super expensive, right? The Samsung only uses single white LEDs, whereas the Sony uses R,G and B (and and extra Green for some reason) LEDS, for even better accuracy....

I owned the Samsung, but traded it for the Sony. I am so relieved. The panel is very different to the Samsung - RGB LED backlighting is present on the Sony.

Better backlighting and blacks

Bit expensive, but you pay for the picture

I'm sure it is a tremendous set, the thing that bewilders me is, why can Samsung provide LED backlighting etc on their 9 series at around $1,500 less? I have always been a sucker for Sony tv's, i have a Bravia and i persauded the olds to get one...

Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR45

 

I cant understand how people can comment on a television with out even seeing it in real life. As I have bought many brands of LCDs and Plasmas over the years this has to be the best television I have ever bought or seen on the market, the images and...

Excellent Blacks ; Awesome colours ; New motion-flow tech is stunning

The only thing bad about this LCD is the price, but we all know that's negotiable or likely to go down eventually
