Top-Notch Video Performance The XBR KDL-46XBR4 is a 1080p television with a full 1920 x 1080 resolution, the highest resolution available for the sharpest, clearest picture. The KDL-46XBR uses the most recent HDMI 1.3 interface, which houses both audio and video signals in one connector and has the bandwidth to support the data needed for the high resolution. Sony's Bravia Engine Pro Full Digital Video Processor upconverts all video signals to 1080p so you can watch all your old DVDs on this glorious display.
Sony complements the high resolution with the latest technology in color reproduction. The KDL-46XBR is a 10-bit display with 10-bit processing. Most panels are only 8-bit. The added bit depth here means a larger color palette for more faithful color reproduction and smoother transitions from one color to the next. Additionally, the display also supports the new x.v.Color standard, which dramatically increases the available color space. The end result is a picture that is so detailed, colorful, and vibrant, you'd have a hard time distinguishing it from real life.
The KDL-46XBR4 features Sony's Motionflow technology, which automatically adjusts for and applies the proper processing for optimal motion reproduction depending on the video input. This includes support for 24 frames per second (24p) video, which displays video content at the 24-frames-per-second rate at which it was originally filmed or recorded. With 24p, you get the most faithful possible reproduction of the original.
A Wide Variety of Inputs This Sony television's wide variety of inputs ensures compatibility with your other home theater components. There are three HDMI connections for Blu-Ray, HD DVD, and other technologies requiring the high bandwidth, and two component video inputs, three composite video inputs, one S-Video input, one PC Audio and Video input, and five analog audio inputs. Even with a collection of legacy components, you shouldn't have a problem connecting to the KDL-46XBR4.
Stunning Looks The KDL-46XBR4 not only displays stunning video but is itself a head-turner. It features Sony's unique floating glass frame along with a black bezel that can be interchanged with optional color bezels to match the display to your decor.
Outstanding Ergonomics and Simplicity of Control Sony's Xross Media Bar interface is an award-winning, intuitive on-screen display that makes setup a breeze, with menus and controls logically laid out for quick access. The KDL-46XBR4 also features Theatre Sync technology, based on the HDMI-CEC standard, which means you can easily connect to and control compatible devices. For example, when the KDL-46XBR4 is connected to a compatible DVD player, you can turn on both the DVD player and the television and start playing a DVD with a single push of a button on the remote. When you're done, another push of a button powers everything down. With Theatre Sync, you can spend time enjoying the movie rather than waste time setting everything up.
More Than Just a Television Because more and more people expect to view photos on their HDTVs, Sony developed a Photo TV HD mode that optimally sets the sharpness, gradation, and color to make digital photos look like printed photography.
The KDL-46XBR4 is backed by a 1-year limited warranty for parts and labor.

Win Some, Lose Some : This time I lostJuly 23, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Wish I could write a real review of this KDL-46XBR4, but since it stopped working after three hours of arrival at my home, I can't. I didn't even get to finish setting it all up. Good reviews overall, but if you aren't lucky, you're in for a world of hurt. This is day 34 since the television arrived, and there is still no resolution to the problem. First I was given two service tech firms to contact. Neither do home warranty in my area. One even laughed at me and told me that they'd look at it if I brought it to them. Imagine that, me in a compact sedan with a 46" diagonal HDTV television in the back seat. Yeah, right. Sony then directed me to a third firm. An appointment was made for nearly two weeks in the future, and they only come out on a Tuesday, so I had to take that and take time off work. Tech guy diagnosed the problem as three - yes, three! - bad circuit boards. He made a return appointment for, yep, two weeks in the future when the parts would have arrived. He suggested, however, on the q.t. that I urge Sony to take the set back. What more might be wrong, he wondered. So I began to pursue that while keeping active the appointment for the next service call, with the hope that one or the other would happen first. Nope, about a day before the new appointment for service, I had a call saying that the parts were unavailable, but they would call me when they could be. When might that be? Well, the earliest they could be available, but no guarantees, might be two more weeks. Again, I asked Sony to replace the set. "Oh, sir, we're so sorry about your (note: "your") problem. But we can't do that." Why? "I don't know. You'll have to call the X department for that information." Again, more waiting, no calls back, no information. On the 30th day since the set arrived, I phoned and started demanding that a return merchandise authorization be provided me and I would at my own expense send the set back to Sony. "Can you tell me what the problem is?" Again, went through the whole drama (by this time I have an official complaint file). Next call on day 32: "Sir, you can't get an RMA since you have had the television for more than 30 days." I popped another high blood pressure pill. Finally, "We'll send you an email within the next 24 to 48 hours with the information you requested." "Sir, does this resolve your issue with Sony?" Huh?? I replied, "I sure hope so." So guess what? No email has arrived. No RMA has been provided. No parts are available. Still in Sony customer service hell. By the way, I asked for the name and address of Sony's USA president, and the customer service person said, "If you sincerely want that information, sir, call X, because I don't have that information in my database." Unbelievable. Moral of this story: Don't ever buy from Sony directly (SonyStyle.com), as I did. If you want to go ahead and spin the roulette wheel, then buy a Sony through a reputable reseller so you can return the television without a hassle. I've been a loyal, repeat customer of Sony over the years. I know from experience now that Sony couldn't care less.
Great HDTVJuly 10, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have had this tv for three months and it has worked perfectly. I haven't had any of the problems mentions in other reviews such as fan noise and clouding. The picture is aboslutely stunning when watching a blu-ray movie. The sound from the speakers is good so there is no rush to get a sound system. Free shipping from Amazon made buying it from them the best value...just be proactive and contact CEVA (the delivery company) when it arrives at your local hub to schedule a delivery time instead of waiting for them to call you which may take a couple of extra days.
Worth every penny!!!June 25, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've had this TV for almost a month now and all I can say is....(in my best Keanu Reeves voice) WHOA!!! The XBR4 is simply amazing. Blu Ray movies look absolutely stunning on this set and the 120Hz make you feel like you are on the set during filming. It's that clear. I wonder how I've survived this long without HD. The TV automatically sets itself to whatever source you are watching. For example, using a standard dvd player will set the TV to NTSC setting. HD channels are set to 1081i and the PS3 is set to display at full 1080P. The upconversions look great on the tv as well. I haven't had any issues with hearing the fan as many have complained about (knock on wood!!). All in all, this is a fantastic set and worth every penny.
Might be expensive, but it's worth every penny!June 22, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had this product for 4 weeks now and it's just amazing. If you enjoy playing games and watching movies a lot, this is definitely for you. The MotionFlow is awesome when watching movies and watching fast-paced sports on HighDef. Its design looks great in every angle and is Perfect for any size room! I have a Sony Theater System that includes only two Front Stand-up Speakers which doesnt give off too much treble, but you can use the tv itself as a center speaker which has crisp quality sound! You won't regret buying this product.
Great LCDJune 21, 2008 I have had this TV for two weeks and have had no problems. There is no fan noise, it doesn't get too hot, and it doesn't have clouding when the screen is black. When the screen is in a dark scene it is one of the best blacks I have seen.
The Picture is so good on this LCD I almost can't quit watching it. Amazon delivered the TV and set it up in 2 minutes, it has been good ever since.
