Product Description

BRAVIA XBR HDTVs have become the benchmark by which all others are measured, and the performance-oriented feature set on the XBR6 series shows why. Exclusive motion and color technologies deliver legendary XBR performance. 10-bit processing and 10-bit displays, x.v.Color technology and Deep Color render a wide color gamut and smooth color transitions. Motionflow 120Hz and 24p True Cinema provide smoother picture performance with unprocessed 24p film reproduction. XBR6 Series HDTVs include Sony's innovative DMex technology which "future-proofs" them by creating an expandable platform for connecting to devices that haven't even been invented yet. Of course, right now they will also connect seamlessly with other Sony products like camcorders, computers, digital cameras, and the interesting new Bravia Internet Video Link. HDMI-CEC compatibility means you can control everything from one remote. They are even DLNA compliant, offer Sony’s unique PhotoTV HD, and include swivel stands.

A bold new design with a color-accented speaker grille complements the gloss black finish, which also hints at the floating glass look of previous XBR models. If you’re looking for some personalization you can purchase an optional speaker grille in multiple colors.

"Dazzling picture!"
By, Terry94705 (Berkeley CA)

"This was a big jump up. The last TV was a 6 year old 20 inch JVC tube, so you might think we would be easy to dazzle. Nevertheless I did a lot of research before springing for this one. Got it to watch DVDs; we don't have cable or dish, just an indoor antenna. We were really surprised at all the new (digital) channels we got, even without upgrading our antenna --so don't be hasty in assuming you need to have an outdoor antenna, cable, etc., especially if you are in a metropolitan area.

The old analog stations (say, channel 9) come in pathetically, but usually there are other stations associated with each number. For example, we now get digital 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 --three different programs where we used to get one. This was all a pleasant surprise. We got digital versions of all the old channels and 7-8 new ones. We even get a San Jose station that we haven't seen in years.

Everything on the digital channels is gorgeous. When I was shopping I saw big HDTVs where the non-HD picture was stretched and distorted, but you don't have to set it that way. You can set it so that each program comes in at its optimal picture quality. Some day, hopefully, it will all be HD, but the SD stuff looks pretty good on this set! As for the Bravia XBR6 specifically, great black-blacks, but your detail within shadows is not sacrificed. It came set to "vivid" color setting, but I find the standard setting more natural. Really stunning picture! Haven't watched any blu-ray disks yet (no player) but the standard DVDs look fabulous! This was a big purchase but I am very happy with it."

"Excellent LCD TV!"
By, Jim Prime (Virginia, USA)

"I've owned a 46" XBR4 for the past year without issue, and just replaced our family room TV with this 52XBR6. Picture quality is excellent on both systems, and both TVs have gained the all important approval of my wife. The "MotionFlow" can create an "odd" look to fast moving images - such as when a football player is running down the field - but setting the system to less active settings returns the picture to the type/style I'm more comfortable watching. I would not consider myself an ardent supporter of all Sony products (as I've had issues with other items, such as their AV receivers), but in the area of LCD televisions I believe you can't go wrong with their XBR line."

"Sony Bravia XBR KDL-52XBR6"
By, Vince S "Vince" (Florida) 

"I bought my first XBR in 1986. Everyone who watched it always raved about the quality of the picture and how realistic it looked. The Sony Bravia XBR KDL-52XBR6 does my old XBR proud, bringing the picture quality to new levels. High Definition content is superb, from old movies to new ones to live events. (If you watch alot of sports, you're going to love this TV.) I still have the XBR I bought in 1986 and watch movies and sports on it when I am working on a book or film score in my home office. If the Sony Bravia XBR KDL-52XBR6 lasts half as long I'll be twice as happy."
