Product Description
The 46-inch Bravia XBR(R) Series LCD incorporate all of Sony's latest technologies including HDMI v1.3 features such as x.v.Color and Deep Color. Additional features like Motionflow 120Hz enables smoother motion when viewing movies or fast-action sports. Full HD 1080 means 1920x1080 pixels and 1080p video inputs. Bravia Engine PRO with Digital Reality Creation(TM) upconverts all interlaced and progressive video signals including HD signals directly to 1080p for amazing detail and sharpness. Achieving smoother, natural motion reproduction starts with the right performance characteristics such as the ultra fast panel response times. Sony's Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) builds on contrast ratio performance of 2000:1 Contrast Ratio. The Contrast Ratio of up to 2000:1 is achieved by using real-time image processing to adjust the contrast along with optimizing backlight levels. Blu-ray movies are filmed at 24 frames per second (fps) and prime time TV programs are video taped at 24p.

The KDL-46XBR uses the most recent HDMI 1.3 interface, which houses both audio and video signals in one connector and has the bandwidth to support the data needed for the high resolution. Sony's Bravia Engine Pro Full Digital Video Processor upconverts all video signals to 1080p so you can watch all your old DVDs on this glorious display.p Sony complements the high resolution with the latest technology in color reproduction. The KDL-46XBR is a 10-bit display with 10-bit processing. Most panels are only 8-bit. The added bit depth here means a larger color palette for more faithful color reproduction and smoother transitions from one color to the next. Additionally, the display also supports the new x.v.Color standard, which dramatically increases the available color space. The end result is a picture that is so detailed, colorful, and vibrant, you'd have a hard time distinguishing it from real life.p The KDL-46XBR4 features Sony's Motionflow technology, which automatically adjusts for and applies the proper processing for optimal motion reproduction depending on the video input. This includes support for 24 frames per second (24p) video, which displays video content at the 24-frames-per-second rate at which it was originally filmed or recorded. With 24p, you get the most faithful possible reproduction of the original.p bA Wide Variety of Inputs/bbr This Sony television's wide variety of inputs ensures compatibility with your other home theater components. There are three HDMI connections for Blu-Ray, HD DVD, and other technologies requiring the high bandwidth, and two component video inputs, three composite video inputs, one S-Video input, one PC Audio and Video input, and five analog audio inputs. Even with a collection of legacy components, you shouldn't have a problem connecting to the KDL-46XBR4.p bStunning Looks/bbr The KDL-46XBR4 not only displays stunning video but is itself a head-turner. It features Sony's unique floating glass frame along with a black bezel that can be interchanged with optional color bezels to match the display to your decor.p bOutstanding Ergonomics and Simplicity of Control/bbr Sony's Xross Media Bar interface is an award-winning, intuitive on-screen display that makes setup a breeze, with menus and controls logically laid out for quick access. The KDL-46XBR4 also features Theatre Sync technology, based on the HDMI-CEC standard, which means you can easily connect to and control compatible devices. For example, when the KDL-46XBR4 is connected to a compatible DVD player, you can turn on both the DVD player and the television and start playing a DVD with a single push of a button on the remote. When you're done, another push of a button powers everything down. With Theatre Sync, you can spend time enjoying the movie rather than waste time setting everything up.p bMore Than Just a Television/bbr Because more and more people expect to view photos on their HDTVs, Sony developed a Photo TV HD mode that optimally sets the sharpness, gradation, and color to make digital photos look like printed photography.p The KDL-46XBR4 is backed by a 1-year limited warranty for parts and labor.p br clear="all" table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width="50%" tr td width=54 align="center" valign="middle" img border=0 src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000TNFAQ2-4.jpg" /td td valign="middle"style="text-align:justify;padding:5px 10px 5px 5px;font-size:11px;" h3Full HD Quality/h3 HDTV provides up to six times the visual detail of the Standard Definition television.

 don't buy this tv November 20, 2008
J. Lowe (Memphis, Tennessee)
We bought our tv and 16 months after purchasing, the tv doesn't work. Paid $2569.99 and repairs are $1654.99. bought the tv from best buy without the extended warrenty. Sony will do nothing! Buy another brand other than Sony OR buy the extended warrenty, you'll need it! FYI- Sony customer service is very difficult to deal with. They make you jump through all kinds of hoops before considering your plea for help.
 Great LCD November 16, 2008
C. Yu (Oak Harbor, WA)
Definitely one of the best TV out there. I'm not a TV expert looking at every tiny pixel and every detial on the TV, but I know what I like when I see it. The design is absoluely unique. PIP and PP feature is great. The analog channels look really bad, but when it receives digital signals, it is great. And when it was connected to HD channel, it is the most beautiful thing one can see on a TV.
 Great TV. September 27, 2008
John Simmon
Great Television, especailly when you have a big family, the size of the TV is great viewing for everyone in the family. br / br /The only complaint is: The price is high. But you pay for what you get. It is worthy.
A Great TV August 29, 2008
Gary Corso
I waited over a year before making this purchase and I am sorry that I waited at all. This is a great LCD TV and I could not be happier. The SONY PS3 style interface to controll the set is great and easy to use. The digital picture is so good, you don't need to go to a more expensive HDTV box.

After one month of operation this TV is in need of service. br /The power light transfers to stand-by mode and then back to power. This br /cycle repeats over an over with no picture to access set up. br / br /When it is working the picture quality is excellent. The fans noise was a concern when purchasing, but turns out to be a non issue. br / br /Sony warranty seems to be accomodating but requires serial number to initiate the service call. I agree with this policy but it is a bit of a hassle if your TV is wall mounted at 5'0" on center. I would recommend that you log your serial number before installation so you do not have any delays if service needs to be called. br / br /
