Also, the set's Deep Color inputs, combined with the KDL-46W3000's 10-bit video processor, can display 64 times the color as the more common 8-bit processors on other LCDs.

The KDL-46W3000's Advanced Contrast Enhancer feature, or ACE, helps the HDTV register an on-contrast ratio of 2,000:1, which is an indicator of
the excellent detail and deep, rich dark tones the set can display.
Another standout feature is 24p True Cinema, which allows the KDL-46W3000 to show your favorite movies and television programs the way they were meant to be seen. Since many films and TV shows are shot at 24 frames per second, Sony created the 24p True Cinema feature to accurately display video shot in this format, ensuring a smooth, naturally fluid picture you won't see on many LCDs.
Ultimately, the true measure of whether any television is the best HDTV for you is a question of your own personal needs.
The KDL-46W3000 is an outstanding choice for you if:
- You have video components (like an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disc player, or next-generation gaming console like the Xbox 360 or PS3) capable of outputting 1080p of high definition resolution. If you simply plan to watch broadcast or cable television, those signals are likely to be 720p, and you might consider sets that max out at 720p so you're not paying for resolution you don't need.
- Your viewing room will have its primary seating approximately 10 feet from the KDL-46W3000. This is the standard recommended viewing distance for a 46" television.
- Have you performed a full comparison of LCD vs. plasma and DLP televisions? Each technology has its plusses and minuses, though LCDs have been gaining in popularity in recent years.
- And finally, have you looked into what actual buyers of the KDL-46W3000 think about their purchase? Be sure to read their user reviews at Amazon.com.
