Excellent
THE GOOD
Excellent black-level performance for an LCD; accurate color; 120Hz processing smooths judder in motion; fine screen uniformity and off-angle viewing for an LCD; numerous picture controls; solid connectivity with three HDMI inputs and one PC input; distinctive "floating glass" design; interchangeable bezel color option.
THE BAD
Expensive; benefits of 120Hz blur-reduction hard to discern; smooth motion seems unnatural for film-based material and introduces some artifacts; main menu system kludgy to operate; many picture adjustments seem unnecessary and/or harmful.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Although not quite as impressive as the best plasmas, the 46-inch Sony KDL-46XBR4 outperforms any flat-panel LCD we've tested so far.

Do not believe any of the 10 or 9 or 8 or even 7 rated stars that people have been posting. Wait till they find out that they bought an overpriced LCD box with the mura effect. Turn off the lights and pop in a movie with dark scenes or any program w... read more »
