As the basic entertainment center of our home, the Sony XBR LCD TV fits the bill perfectly. Not only does it provide excellent picture and sound quality, but it also serves as our veiwing source for our digital photos and DVD and VCR equipment. The sound quality enhances the music we play from our CD collection.

Sony KDL-46XBR4
Comments:
Review Verdict: Although not quite as impressive as the best plasmas, the 46-inch Sony KDL-46XBR4 outperforms any flat-panel LCD we've tested so far.

QuickTake:
Pros: Excellent black-level performance for an LCD ; accurate color ; 120Hz processing smooths judder in motion ; fine screen uniformity and off-angle viewing for an LCD ; numerous picture controls ; solid connectivity with three HDMI inputs and one PC input ;
Cons: Expensive ; benefits of 120Hz blur-reduction hard to discern ; smooth motion seems unnatural for film-based material and introduces some artifacts ; main menu system kludgy to operate ; many picture adjustments seem unnecessary and/or harmful ;
