Sony Bravia XBR KDL-46XBR8 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz Triluminos LED LCD HDTV
Take the next step forward in HDTV technology with the KDL-46XBR8 BRAVIA XBR8 LCD flat panel HDTV. In addition to Full HD 1080p, this XBR-8 Series TV features TRILUMINOS RGB Dynamic LED backlight which produces breathtaking images with enhanced color purity that result in deep blacks and bright whites with startling depth and exceptional shadow detail.
You’ll also see the difference with Motionflow 120Hz PRO technology which enhances motion and delivers a smoother and clearer picture. Your 1080p HD images will look more breathtaking than ever thanks to the BRAVIA Engine 2 PRO fully digital video processor. This XBR-8 Series TV has DMex functionality which lets you expand the capabilities of your HDTV by adding optional BRAVIA Link modules (sold separately), plus it comes with plenty of connectivity options to connect your video sources.
A bold new design with a color-accented speaker grille complements the gloss black finish, which also hints at the floating glass look of previous XBR models. If you’re looking for some personalization you can purchase an optional speaker grille in multiple colors.
TRILUMINOS RGB Dynamic LED Backlight
TRILUMINOS RGB LED backlight technology aligns individual clusters of red, green, and blue LEDs to produce a significantly higher purity of primary colors than single white LED backlights, resulting in more accurate color reproduction. This clustered arrangement also allows the XBR8 to adjust the brightness of the backlight in units of small blocks, so it can display deep blacks in one portion of the screen and bright whites in another, producing images with enhanced depth, three-dimensionality and exceptionally accurate shadow detail.
Further, unlike conventional full-screen luminance control, the BRAVIA suppresses unneeded backlighting and, therefore, consumes less power than the conventional LED-backlit models. And, because it uses LEDs rather than the fluorescent tubes found in many HDTVs, Dynamic LED backlighting also promises exceptionally long life.
Full HD 1080p
Full HD 1080p means our connections accept 1080p signals and the display will render that signal in Full HD 1080p. The flexibility of native 1920 x 1080 displays allows any high definition content to be viewed without the need to downconvert images to the native resolution of the display. Take full advantage of Blu-ray Disc players and PlayStation 3 systems that can deliver 1080p content.

Sony Bravia XBR KDL-46XBR8 Review
People complain a lot about this TV’s price. It’s expensive. But if you’re picky about what you watch and you have a lot of windows in your house, this HDTV LCD is definitely worth the extra bucks–especially since Amazon has free shipping and discount rates.
I was surprised how small the box was that this came it. It doesn’t have a ton of protection around it. There is a thin film layer of plastic that protects the front bezel, which easily comes off. I did not use the stand, but put it on a swivel mount. Setup of the TV was very easy and the image outstanding, with beautiful colors and details right out of the box. By the way, a nice touch is that the TV’s serial number is on the outside of the batteries for the remote control–which I wish I’d realized before searching the entire back of the TV with a flashlight (it was also on the back, but partly obscured by the swivel mount I’d used).
You see some folks who talk about “poor” off angle viewing and “blooming.” I honestly haven’t noticed either one. This thing looks great from a range of angles, the picture phenomenal.
The TV speakers are okay but not great. If you’re going to watch a lot of movies–and trust me, with this screen you’re going to want to–I’d recommend getting the Sony BDV-1000ES and an HDMI cable. That way you get theatre-quality sound to match the picture and the Bravia Link means the two will communicate well with each other, and respond to one remote control. Then, just pop in a blu-ray disk, kick back, and enjoy. This is one great TV.
