Review Verdict: As long as you stick with its movie or custom picture presets, the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 delivers an impressively accurate HD picture that will make a handsome addition to your home theater.
QuickTake:
Pros: Excellent HD color when using "movie" picture preset. Superb contrast. 120-Hz display technology makes movies look great.
Cons: Default processing exaggerates video noise. Standard processing also degrades detection of 24p material. Image smearing increases when noise reduction is activated. Watch the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 Video Review!
