Sony Bravia XBR KDL-46XBR4 46" 1080p LCD HDTV

One of the latest entries in Sony's BRAVIA line-up of LCD HDTVs, the 46" model KDL-46XBR4, comes packed with the latest technological advancements you'd expect from the LCD market leader, Sony.

One such advanced feature is Sony's unique Motionflow system that displays video at a super-smooth 120Hz high frame rate. While many LCDs on the market today display at 60Hz, their images are often marred by motion artifacts that are especially evident when displaying films and other content originally shot at 24 frames per second. Motionflow helps the KDL-46XBR4 display your favorite films and television programs the way they were meant to be seen.

Another big selling point of the KDL-46XBR4 and other new BRAVIA models is the inclusion of Advanced HDMI v1.3 which enables the processing of x.v.Color, a technology that allows the KDL-46XBR4 to show nearly twice the amount of natural colors as standard HDMI.

Plus, Sony's proprietary Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) allows the KDL-46XBR4 to display a contrast ratio of 2,000:1, meaning you'll see a wide gamut of realistic looking color including deep, rich blacks and accurate white tones, some of the most difficult colors for most LCD televisions to reproduce.

Other special features of the KDL-46XBR4 include its BRAVIA Theatre Sync functionality allowing easy control when hooked up with compatible components, S-Force Front Surround audio technology that simulates movie theater surround sound, and Digital Media Extender capability, empowering you to use the KDL-46XBR4 to do things like surf the Internet when optional add-ons are patched in.

So does all this mean that the KDL-46XBR4 is the ideal HDTV for you? If you've done a plasma vs. LCD comparison and are convinced LCD is the way to go (as more and more people believe these days), and you don't mind paying a bit more to have one of the most powerful LCDs of its class, and you have the video components capable of sending 1080p of high definition video to the set, then you should move the KDL-46XBR4 near the top of your list.

And as always, before you buy, research what other buyers of the KDL-46XBR4 have to say. Read their user reviews at sites like Amazon.com.
