The 46-inch Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR4 has been extensively reviewed. The best coverage can be found at CNet.com, which reviews TVs in detailed and authoritative reports. Consumer Reports covers a larger number of LCD TVs, including the KDL-46XBR4, and the magazine is well-regarded for its impartiality, but its write-up provides fewer details. UltimateAV and HDTV Solutions websites provide good information for the video enthusiast. User reviews, such as those at Amazon.com, tell us how happy owners are with the Sony KDL-46XBR4 after days, weeks and sometimes months of use.
The 46-inch Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR4 is one of the more expensive LCD TVs in its size class, but it rates highly with experts and users for its outstanding picture quality, including rich blacks. Other strengths include great color and shadow detail, as well as a better-than-average viewing angle, making this TV a great choice for a family room. The competing 46-inch Samsung LN46A650 (*est. $1,750) also delivers great blacks and outstanding color, and is considerably less expensive, but a glare-prone screen and smaller viewing angle limits the TV's appeal for some. Those on tighter budgets might want to consider the 47-inch Vizio VO47L (*est. $1,350). The Vizio's image quality falls short of the Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR4, but experts say it's not bad in its own right and is a great value.

The Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR4 is the only TV to receive a "Highly Recommended" designation on this site. Aside from producing "stunning" HD material, the Bravia is said to handle standard definition material respectably. Dick De Jong notes that Sony offers numerous fine-tuning tools, but suggests leaving these controls at their presets.
