Stunning! I was all set to buy the Sharp 52" until I saw this. Am I glad I waited! I really need an LCD because of all the window glare in my family room. Earlier LCD models (all brands) didn't seem to have good contrast and color saturation like plasma sets, but Sony has done a tremendous job with the Bravia line. Black is truly black and the "vivid" color pre-set is almost overpowering. There are plenty of "knobs" to turn for tailoring the picture and more input options than you'll ever need. I'm ...

Wow, what a picture Although intrigued by HDTV for some time I delayed purchase knowing that price per inch would decline and size and overall quality would increase as the technology matured. We are now well into the HDTV revolution. Competition has produced a fine array of high definition televisions.
Because my viewing room is bright during the day, I eliminated plasma sets. My need for a wide viewing angle and concern over reliability narrowed the field to LCD flat panel models.
As to resolut...

Great Picture. Sets the standard for HDTV Purchased on 1/30/07. It worked perfectly right out of the box. No missing pixels. Setup took some time. The picture is beautiful. I did purchase and extended warranty, because of the new technology and other users experiencing missing pixels. Since my original cost was low the extended warranty brought the total price to less than most websites were asking for the basic TV. Shop around on the web. Don't necessarily pick the site with the lowest price, but choose the dealer with the best service...

Stack up to any plasma Amazing pictures with my HD DVD player, without any tweeking. I have been a plasma owner and I was very uneasy when I dropped the amount of cash on a LCD. This TV made me a believer. Even with a fast action video game on my 360, there is no motion blurring. No problem with the black level. I did notice those problems with other LCD's in the store, but lets play nice and not bash anyone. Now the $1500 question, 46 inch or 52 inch? The 46 inch was a thrill ride but the 52 inch was a religio...

If you are lucky enough not to get the cloud ridden set... I am another proud owner of the 52" xbr2. My build is Jan/07. Before my purchase, I researched and studied all of my options (which I suggest everyone do on a high priced item such as this) and found no other substitute to this television. I personally could not go plasma, as my bright room (skylights) would not be friendly to the panel during daytime viewing. As for those seriously buying this unit, do yourself a favor and read some forums on the internet regrading customers having serious ...

Best of the large screen LCD's I've been looking at LCD's in the 46" range for about six months and when I saw this 52" Sony LCD last week I just had to have it. The picture is just amazing in HD and is better than I expected with a regular source on Directv. When trying to figure out what size TV that you should get, other than bigger is better, divide the inches of the tv by 4 and that is the ideal viewing distance (13 ft in this case). I hope this tip helps you. And finally, I usually don't watch much TV but I find myself...

Amazing HD picture Got this in time for Superbowl. Picture quality for HD is amazing, although I did notice some jagged edges when action scenes switches fast. I assume this has to do with my cable HD signal. Played some reference quality DVDs and it looks awesome, can't wait to play bluray or HD-DVD. Standard channel are so-so, the DRC does try its best, but a lot of times there's just not enough data to always paint a pretty picture. My unit doesn't have the so called "clouds", guess I took a risk and got l...

Impressive, Very Impressive. I've been waiting for SONY to put out a Full HD TV for almost a year. And here it is. I almost bought the KDL-46XBR2 because I wanted the biggest screen possible. Luckily for me, I waited 'till the prices came down and then SONY introduced the 52" last month (November 2006).
I have more good things to say than bad for this HDTV. I am very impressed by the picture I get with my satellite connection. HD DVD looks freaking AMAZING. But, non-HD channels look...well, not so hot. Sound wi...

This picture is so clear, it's scary I haven't bought this yet but saw it at the store. This is, by far, the clearest sharpest picture in TV.
You can see everyone's wrinkles and bumps on their faces. I'm not sure if I want to see everyone's zits, but this is the most amazing picture I've ever seen.
Of course, Amazon is about $700 cheaper than the price at the store.
