A Great Sony LCD-TV!
I love Amazon for allowing these reviews, they could censor them to edit out info about other companies and competing sources, but they don't. These reviews have helped me immeasurably in choosing the right TV and other items, so I'm posting this so others can likewise be helped by my experience.
We researched LCDs and Plasma TVs for one whole year, and we agree with most other reviewers who report that the new Samsung and Sony 46" and 52" LCD-TVs are the best. Up to this point Consum...

Works great but do not forget to do the calibration
We have got this XBR 52 for super bowl at the nick of time.Though my team lost it,I am going to keep it anyway.
We also spent lot of time figuring out which one to buy but finally my wife really liked this is TV for picture quality as well as the unique look with floating glass.
I have ordered it thru Amazon and got it delivered at third day to home.It does not hurt to live close by to Amazon warehouse.(25 miles from my place).The delivery was great and put the TV where I ...

Let me save you countless hours on the internet and hours at the stores looking at different sets. I have been researching flat panel screens for over two years, perusing the internet sites such as CNET and several others to compare specs, user feedbacks, etc... Went to specialty video/audio stores, big box stores (Best Buy and Circuit City) to compare the sets I was interested in. After two years, it was between Sony XBR, Samsung F series LCD, Sharp Aquos LCD and for the plasmas, I looked at...

Xbr vs Sumsung Are you looking for an LCD???
I don't usually write alot of reviews, but I did a lot of research for this tv purchase. We were upgrading our family room tv from a 35in 720p toshiba tv. We were looking at the 52 inch mark, plasma vs lcd. In a quick review make sure you consider what room you will be placing your new tv into. You are about to spend big bucks make sure you are honest about where these tvs are going or you will be unhappy!
First Plasma vs LCD (This comes from my reading again at higher end plasma vs lcd...

Very, very good TV
I previously owned a Samsung 46 inch LCD with 720p resolution and sold that to get something bigger and better. I mention that to set the context that I am used to HD TV and the picture quality.
I was not expecting that the picture would be noticeably better than a TV from last year but I was wrong. Having looked at every 52 inch LCD and many 46 inch LCDs it was clear that this and the Samsung 120Hz TV are the best at the moment. I went for this Sony and I am thrilled at how great the...

The Best I've ever Seen!
First off let me say that I have been researching HD TV's for the past 6 months. At first I was interested in DLP's because of the price. I soon realized that I wanted a TV that I could see at any angle. Ok so I started researching Plasmas!
After deciding to purchase a Pioneer Elite Pro-FHD1 1080p 50" Plasma I went to the store and compared it to a LCD. Not a LCD at all but THE LCD.... The Sony Bravia XBR KDL-52XBR4 52" 1080p. They were side by side and although the Pioneer's picture ...

Top of the market
I decided on the 52" XBR4 after comparing different sets including the Sony 52W3000, Samsung 5271 & 5281, Sharp 82 & 92 and Mitsubishi 244 'Diamond.' I finally pulled the trigger on the XBR4 based on a couple things: truest colors I could find, amazing picture quality, the least amount of artifacts or "jutter" I could find, cosmestics and the non-glare screen.
The XBR4 has a 120Hz refresh rate, compared to most sets 60Hz refresh rate and not to be confused with Sharp's '120Hz frame ra...

Almost a perfect TV
I returned Samsung FPT5084 because of the buzzing noise it makes and got this Sony instead. The Sony has amazing pictures especially when playing blu ray movies. TV setup is easy and works perfectly with 1080p, 1080i or 720p signals. There is a white flashing line on the top sometimes when I get 480i analog signals, but that's not a problem since I watching almost all digital channels.
The reasons I didn't give it a 5 star are:
1. Price: very expensive.
2. No swivel base.

Amazing images and sound quality!
We've been enjoying our Sony KDL52XBR4 for about a week now, and we've never been hooked like this before. HDMI cables (these make the wirings much simpler!) attach our TV to a Pioneer Elite Receiver, Samsung BD1200 Blu-Ray Player and ComCast HD Cable Box. The surround sound is provided by the new MB Quart Alexxa (ALX6.5IW and ALX8.0IC) speakers system. The first Blu-Ray Disc we played is "Planet Earth" - and even though this is a documentary film, we can sit there all day just stunned by eve...

Awesome!
Can't add much that hasn't been said in these 3 reviews already. If you're willing to shell out a few extra $$$ you will be getting absolutly flawless picture quality. I did a month or so of research and saw many different HDTV's and knew this one was the best I'd seen in any store, but when I got it home and watched for a day or 2 I realized this TV actually exceeded my expectations. The HD picture(I have cable running through a TIVO series 3)is just perfect.
Again, if money isn't too much...
