Sony Bravia XBR KDL-46XBR8 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz Triluminos LED LCD HDTV Review
I bought this tv about 3 weeks ago from OneCall, which was an excellent seller and the delivery was fast, easy, and reliable. They definitely put the customer in customer service.
All i can say about this TV is WOW!!! Me and my wife are still in awe of the picture quality and sometimes watch a show or movie in HD just because the picture looks phenomenal. I was originally looking to buy the xbr9 vs samsung led because of the affordable price. Suprisingly my wife supported me to spend the extra 600 bucks since we plan on keeping the tv for many years to come. I felt guilty about spending 2 grand on a television until i set it up within minutes of receiving it and saw the picture. It's as if I'm watching the action outside my window. The color richness, especially the black level is awesome. I actually bought this TV blind as none of my local electronic stores had it in stock. They only had the Samsung LED, but after having a 26"samsung hdtv for the past 5 years i knew that a reflective screen on a 46" screen was going to drive me nuts. I based my purchase on the reviews on cnet and amazon.com. You will not regret this purchase. The picture quality compared to the samsung led is much more crisp, clean and vibrant. The bright lighting in my room no longer bothers me, thanks to the matte screen.
Many reviewers have slammed the quality of the speakers, but since i haven't owned a surround system and all my friends and family listen through the tv speakers, my ears are geared towards the stand alone tv speakers. The quality is the best by far compared to different models of Sharp and Sumsung lcd. I'm more than content with these speakers and will not need the bose 2.1 speaker system i was looking at, although it would be an upgrade, but definitely not a necessity like other televisions. Even standard television looks great on this set. I think i've fallen in love all over again. Spend the extra money because the technology with this picture quality is still more advanced than almost all the led sets out there and will satisfy you for years to come.

Sony Bravia XBR KDL-46XBR8 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz Triluminos LED LCD HDTV Overview
The Sony BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs represent the next step forward for Sony HDTV technology. Underpinning this advance is the TRILUMINOS RGB Dynamic LED backlight, which utilizes clusters of red, green, and blue LEDs to produce accurate colors and an amazingly realistic image, and employs local dimming to dynamically adjust the brightness of LED clusters, allowing the XBR8 to display deep blacks alongside bright whites for enhanced image depth and exceptional shadow detail. Motionflow 120Hz PRO technology creates new frames to double the frame rate, then uses sequential scanning to enhance motion and deliver a smoother and clearer picture, and 24p True Cinema lets you experience a cinema-like experience. BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs also feature the powerful BRAVIA Engine 2 PRO fully digital video processor, which creates sharp, crystal-clear images at any resolution, as well as advanced color reproduction technologies including 10-bit processing and a 10-bit panel, Live Color Creation, and x.v.Color capability. DMex functionality lets you expand the capabilities of the BRAVIA XBR8-Series with optional BRAVIA Link modules, including the BRAVIA Internet Video Link, BRAVIA Wireless Link, BRAVIA DVD Link, and BRAVIA Input Link (all sold separately). In addition, the exclusive Xross Media Bar (XMB) user interface, integrated TV Guide Interactive Program Guide, and BRAVIA Sync one-touch component control make the BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs easy to use, and the large number of inputs offer you a wide range of connectivity options.
