Product Description

Over the years XBR has stood for the best consumer TV's Sony has to offer and this year's line up is no exception. The XBR line of Full HD 1080p televisions 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 enable smoother motion when viewing movies or fast-action sports. BRAVIA Engine PRO with Digital Reality Creation upconverts all interlaced and progressive video signals including HD signals directly to 1080p for amazing detail and sharpness. And it's only fitting that your XBR make a statement not only through breathtaking picture quality, but by taking your breath away with optional color bezels. Now your LCD TV can be as distinct as your own personal style.

"I'm glad I spent the extra money..."
By, Hector Osorio (San Francisco, CA)

"I spent a bunch of time researching various brands and models of TVs with similar specs (1080p, 40"-42", etc) and found a lot of stuff that was pretty good. But I kept finding myself drawn to this model. When I visited various stores, the picture quality and the styling of this TV kept catching my eye. I struggled with the idea of paying the higher cost for this TV, wondering whether it was worth it. I am very glad I went for it.

It looks great in my living room. The picture quality is outstanding - very clear. The blacks are dark. Operating the menu system is straightforward. Plenty of connection options. I've got an OTA (over the air) HD antenna connected directly to the TV as well as to my TiVo Series 3 and I'm in TV-watching heaven. I have no noticable fan noise comimg from TV unless I hold my ear to the back of the TV. Standard definition TV looks very pixilated, but that's true to some degree with all HDTVs. Ordered on a Wednesday and was told delivery could take one to two weeks. It arrived four days later that Sunday!"

"This TV is so good, I want to get my eyes checked!"
By, Robert Angelo "The Sink" (Houston, TX) 

"I love this TV. Everything looks so sharp on the HD channels, and even most of the "normal" channels (e.g. Turner Classic Movies) are displayed the way they are meant to be seen. We had to switch our cable box and have a technician set up the wires properly from the Bravia to the cable box and to our DVD/VCR and our surround-sound system. The Bravia remote control actually replaces nearly all the functions of the cable-box remote control."

"Bow down to Sony!"
By, Jason Chen "impulse buyer" (San Francisco, CA)
    
"One word to describe this Sony HDTV...AMAZING. The picture quality will be like nothing you've ever seen. The aesthetics of the TV is absolutely gorgeous. The sound is good, but you would be doing yourself an injustice if you didn't get a nice sound system with this TV. I am extremely pleased overall with this TV.

One minor gripe I have about this TV, however, is the fan noise in the back. I knew about this issue before I bought the TV and it's unnoticeable when you're watching TV since it's just a small buzzing noise. You would really only notice it when shuffling through the inputs when there is absolutely no sound coming from your TV or if you were to put the TV on mute."
