Sony BRAVIA KDL-46XBR4 46″ LCD HDTV Review
Posted by in Video Reviews, tags: 46, BRAVIA, KDL-46XBR4, LCD HDTV Review, SonyWhen 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 impressive integrated sound system. This solid all terrain performance makes it stand out in the HDTV crowd.

i actually loled.
58″ ftw
hey! what is that “clouding” problem in dark areas???
Sony LCD is the best
this guy looks like burt reynolds brother !! lol !!
Actually, I said that the bezel is interchangeable. You can buy a different colored one from Sony for $300 each.
he said the stand cost 300 lol
300$ did i hear that right ? 1:04
i was concentrating more on his moustache than the tv
52″ is the way to go….

My christmas present..
just what i was thinking..
Can that guy be any more exciting?
good tv
i think Sony is better than Saumsung LG
Just got the 40 inch version of this TV and it’s beautiful! Very nice looking TV to have in your living room if you can source one. The glass edges really make it stand out from other LCD Tv’s I’ve looked at. Was going to get a Samsung 6 Series but fell in love with this.
that sony tv looks great! but have not seen it before home in sweden… can you buy this tv anywhere?
Hi, Im debating on getting a 40xbr4 or 40xbr6 but is the price diffrence worth it? Is there a big increase in PQ? Also what do you think of 32xbr6
Thankyou sir I saw last years model and thought it was great and everyone who has bought or seen the a950 has raved about it. CNET just called it the best LCD tv to date and said it has the most accurate color of any LCD ever and as good as the best Plasma. I can’t wait to see one.
I really need to get these TVs in for review before I can say anything definite. Seeing them for a few minutes on a convention floor is not a good basis for judging them.
But I’m sure that you will be happy with the 950.
I was going to get the XBR8 but I simply can’t justify spending 5,000 on a 46 inch tv I’m so young it takes me a whole year to save up for everything I’d rather get a nice set of speakers and a receiver than a marginal bump up in PQ. I’m sure the Sony is worth the cost as they always make quality products and because of its tri-color LED’s it will last an extremely long time probably 15+ years so over the lifetime it would be worth it but I’ll probably get a new tv every 10 years.
Mr. DeYoung was the Samsung a950 as detailed on blu-ray and regular content as the XBR4 you reviewed? I have never seen a tv as sharp as this one. Also how did the XBR8 look. Thanks a lot.
I just saw the 950 and the new Sony XBR8 with local dimming, both are great choices for deep black LCDs.
If your looking for higher end Plasma Black Level and motion handling on an LCD look no farther than the brand new Samsung a950. It has local dimming and an LED backlight and has much deeper black levels than any other LCD and in some cases it reaches perfect black when the screen fades to black completely. In regard to content it has a slightly deeper black than the Panasonic 8OOU (successor of the 700u) I finally decided my first big tv will be the 46 inch Samsung a950 in a couple months.
what do u think of the samsung series 6? i like the 120mhz. and samsung is cheaper. what do u think between the sony 120mhz and samsung version?
