The 52-Inch 1080p Sony Bravia XBR KDL-52XBR4 is the ultimate LCD HDTV. If you want the best picture, this LCD HDTV is the one to get. Yes, the Sony KDL-52XBR4 is more expensive than other brands, but you get what you pay for. The Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 is the Mercedes of LCD HDTVs.
The Motion Flow 120hz refresh rate helps smooth out sports games and action scenes that has been plaguing LCD TVs with their ghosting effect. Although it’s not a significant difference over previous models, it’s there and it’s working. Every little bit of help is welcomed. If there any blurring, it’s usually a source problem like watching low quality video.
Watching HD content on the 52-Inch Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 1080p LCD HDTV is simply amazing. Colors are true and stand out like no TV has ever done. Everything looks 3D and pops out like you’re looking through a window. Is this even possible without 3D glasses? Side by side with any LCD HDTV out there, the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 takes the cake. The only other LCD HDTV that comes close is the Samsung LNT5271F 52? 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV.
The Samsung does have better blacks, but you can’t even tell. Samsung’s screen is a little reflective to give the picture a look of higher contrast, but the reflection can be annoying especially in a well lit room. The screen on the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 1080p LCD HDTV has no glare at all and works well in a bright room. The backlight adjusts itself accordingly when in bright or dark rooms. The screen does not distract at all and will constantly amaze your family and friends with its awesome picture.
Once you receive the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 1080p LCD HDTV, you should turn off the “vivid” setting and switch to something more comfortable to the eyes especially if you’re watching in standard definition. SD quality video will look bad if you don’t. You should also change the screen from “full” to “wide full” when watching SD to give SD content the best display possible. This will fill up the screen instead of having some blank areas on the left and right of the TV.
DVD’s also look good and sometimes even blu-ray-ish. That’s how good this TV is. The best way to watch movies of course is with a Blu-Ray movie. You can’t buy an HDTV like this and not get a Blu-Ray player or a Playstation 3 (comes with Blu-Ray). If your budget doesn’t allow you to get one yet, DVD is still outstanding with this TV, but you should get Blu-Ray eventually.
If you’re not planning to get a home theater sound system just yet, the built-in sound of the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 1080p LCD HDTV is good enough. It’s better than most LCD TVs out there.
To go along with the beautiful picture that the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 1080p LCD HDTV is capable of producing, the unit itself is beautiful with the floating glass frame. You can also change the bezel to a color that matches your home more if you want to. If you like the piano black finish of the V3000 or XBR3, you can buy the XBR5 model which exactly the same set as the XBR4 except for the piano black finish.
If you want the best looking set out there and price doesn’t matter, the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 1080p LCD HDTV is the one to buy. You won’t regret it because this is as good as it gets for now. Amazon has the best prices around and if they lower the price in 30 days after your purchase, you can contact them and they’ll refund the difference. The Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 1080p LCD HDTV is pricey, but that’s because the quality is incomparable.
