Recommended it? Yes

Strengths:
Color Accuracy—After some calibration I found the color accuracy excellent. In fact it surpassed my expectations in this department so much so that I'm considering not having professional calibration done. The fact that the XBR4 didn't exhibit the fabled "green push" of the Toshibas... Read full review »

Like many others, I spent about 3 months reviewing different HDTV products and manufacturers for Plasmas, Rear Projections and LCD's. It came down to three to choose from, the Pioneer Plasma, the Sony Rear Projection and the Sony XBR4 LCD. All needed to have the 1080 and have the 120 hz refresh... Read full review »

I did quite a bit of research on the Sony KDL-46XBR4 46 inch LCD TV before I decided to purchase the television set.

While many people seem to recommend this television, given its price, its worth noting a few of the negative aspects of the television. First is the aspect of price. Given... Read full review »

I purchased my XBR based on the great reviews in 2/09.  Due to the price (over $2600) and reputation of Sony, I did not pay $500 for the extended warranty.  3 months after the 12 month warranty was up, the TV when turned on is black/dark on the right-hand side of the TV.  This can...

Recommended it? No

I bought my Sony KDL-XBR4 in Sept 2008. By Oct 2009, the picture when I first turned on the tv looked horrible. It was really dark with orange and red hues on the right side of the screen. Eventually it would "warm-up" and the picture would be fine. It used to take only 5 minutes, now it takes 45... Read full review »
