CNET Editors' review - Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR2
Hide

Excellent

8.2

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 8.2 out of 10
Reviewed by Kevin Miller
Review date: 9/21/06
Release date: 8/15/06

The good: Accurate color decoding; extremely sharp and detailed picture, thanks to true 1,920x1,080 resolution; delivers deep blacks for an LCD; comprehensive feature package with numerous picture controls; great connectivity with three HDMI inputs and a PC input; unique styling.

The bad: Expensive; noisy standard-def video processing.

The bottom line: Although more expensive than most similarly sized HDTVs on the market, the stylish Sony KDL-46XBR2 delivers one of the best pictures we've ever seem from an LCD flat-panel.
