5 Stars Sony 46xbr6
I purchased a Sony 46XBR6 from Amazon.com Sony wins hands down on Value,and Quality,over other brands.

The TV that I am replacing is a Sony (18 yrs of service and still works very good). Amazon.com is the best to deal with,not only the best price

but they sell quality items.I received my XBR in 5 days, the Free White Glove Delivery via Pilot Freight was the Best Service I ever had,They delivered to my home,ask what room did I want the Sony in.The driver offered to un-pack it. Amazon is most Honest,during shipping there was a price drop, I called customer service and within one minute they adjusted my purchase price,emailed me a credit for the lower price. And they have real live people to talk to.Very Happy with Sony and Amazon.com,”I will be back”

4 Stars Impressive Picture and Brightness
I got this TV a little bit over a month ago and have put in about 100 hours of viewing I would guesstimate. After that time I would say the TV has an incredible picture. Some people said the color variation was a little off but I haven’t seen this. I did setup the custom picture setting by using the THX video optimizer included with newer pixar movies and star wars films. This made a big difference in overall picture quality and was very easy to do. The brightness of this display is impressive even when first turned on. The CCFL backlight seems to come to full brightness very quickly and evenly distributes the brightness extremely well. Color representation appears to be dead on with all types of media (cable, blu-ray, dvd, ps3, xbox). The motion plus feature is great when watching sports but can cause some juddering effects while watching non-sport content. The response time for video games is also a plus with no visible judders but this is with game mode turned on. The tv really does have the deepest blacks I have ever seen on a LCD panel, especially one that is not LED backlight. I have options turned on to increase blacks and increase the degree of difference between light and dark areas of the screen. Blu-rays look absolutely stunning and upconverted DVDs look pretty good. I use an external audio system so I can’t really comment on the sound of the TV but I would imagine it’s on par with other TVs. All in all it is an awesome TV with a very solid build and great looks. The TV has a lot of inputs which is a plus and the TV guide is great (if you would use it). The only other thing I would like is to see the TV with a glossy display to see if the color pops even more. I would definitely recommend this TV but would also recommend taking some time to setup the picture settings and experimenting a bit to see what looks best for the type of content your viewing.

5 Stars Great Choice 46XBR6
Purhcased the 46XBR6 from HHGregg for $ 2100 (Black Friday) after they took another $ 100 off the advertised price. Love “picture and picture” (used a splitter to connect cable into HDMI and into antenna). Picture quality is suberb for the HD channels that my cable company provides. The sony blueray ($200) is unbelievable in picture quality. Setup was a little ackward, but after installing and getting used to the remote, all is well. Can’t go wrong with this TV.

5 Stars Review of perfection
I have always purchased Sony televisions because of their quality and the reliability. The Sony Bravia XBR KDL-46 from the quality perspective is as good as it gets. Crystal clear HI DEF and the non-HI DEF shows an amazing improvement also. Obviously, I cannot comment on the reliability at this point but the Sony it replaced was 25 years old and fault free. A word of caution in choosing your service provider. Make sure that they do not interfere with the functionality of your television. Specifically, your PIP capabilities. My new cable provider has helped me around this problem (thanks to the multiple inputs of the TV) but it is still not to the perfection it should be. I could not be happier with Amazon, the set arrived as scheduled, undamaged with the “White Glove” handler very helpful and courteous. By the way, the price I paid was cheaper than the manufacturer and all the big-name electronics stores.

5 Stars Amazing Picture Quality
The picture quality is absolutely amazing and Amazon had a super price discount as well. The white glove service is average. I think Amazon should collect customer feedback on quality of delivery service.

The product is well worth the price. Nothing comes close in comparison in picture quality.

5 Stars HD TV
The non-HD picture quality is surprisingly good. I had heard that with HDTV’s there is a lowering of the quality of the normal picture viewing. This is not the case with this TV. The colors are especially accurate.

4 Stars Great Product, Terrible Shipping Experience
The XBR is more or less the “Mercedes” of the TV industry, while everyone else compares their product to the Sony, it remains the pinnacle of the LCD game. I looked at both the Samsung and the Sony, both were spectacular. In fact, Samsung makes the screen for the Sony, so it makes sense they are the same. Bottom line, there is simply more “coolness” to the Sony name.

The TV is great, but Amazon’s white glove shipping stinks. I bought the product, and it sat on several docks for days, finally got through to the shipper, scheduled for Saturday. But guess what? no TV. Have to schedule multiple times – I guess free shipping implies “worthless”. The drivers are late, never call back, and all you get is an answering service. I would have bought this product somewhere else if I had known….

5 Stars Wonderful TV! – Great USB connection feature to view photos
I have waited almost 6 years to buy a TV and this TV was all worth the wait!! Not only the HDTV broadacat is beautiful but also the USB connection to view photos taken on the camera is absolutely fantastic! I was very impressed and totally happy with the TV. Thank you Sony for making this wonderful TV!

5 Stars Excellent
This TV set meets all my expectations in terms of video and sound quality. I subscribe to all 5 star reviews here. I haven’t noticed any clouding or mura effect so far.

A few minor things to mention:

- the remote is a little long for my taste but it has everything it needs on it, even backlighting. Sometimes you need two hands to handle it which makes me look like my grandpa trying to find the keys on the remote.

- shipping company Manna, called to reschedule the delivery time and date at the time when they were supposed to knock at the door. Good thing it came in perfect condition.

- the TV is kind of hard to take out of the box, other brands have the fancy box that opens sideways. Sony, when you take it out you need to place it on the pedestal right away. You wouldn’t want to put it on the floor sitting on the speakers which are directly attached to a glass panel.

This is a great product. No buyer’s remorse here.

Oh, I almost forgot: Power consumption is a lot less than the 225W advertised. My P3 Kill a Watt monitor shows 80W when it’s ON and 0.18W when it’s OFF. I would be interested to see what others are showing.
