Sony BRAVIA KDL-46XBR4 46″ LCD HDTV Review

Posted on 29th July 2010 by Dr.Char in 40tvs reviews - Tags: , , , ,


When displaying high definition material, the BRAVIA KDL-46XBR4 conspicuously showcases all of Sony’s video processing prowess. But what endears this HDTV to me is how well it handles mundane standard def material and backs it up with a rather impressive integrated sound system. This solid all terrain performance makes it stand out in the HDTV crowd.

I saw no cable and local channels only. I need to get digital cable? Labels say on TV that is digital ready.

I’m going to mount my TV on the wall. Unfortunately I can not find the manual that came with your TV. How can the state and where the holes are, or what ever they are, that I bought to go to the mountains.

It would be a 40 “Sony Bravia 1080p LCD HDTV (Model Number: KDL40V4100) good for gaming? In particular, Halo 3 on Xbox 360?’m Really in this game, but I’m interested in buying this TV. In case of delay of such a large TV / The same size hurt my gameplay a lot?

  1. I went through four Sony TVs and was disappointed with all of them. Horrible clouding issues – which were clearly visable in dark scenes. The ‘patches’ of white were absolutely horrible, and I even tried the top product at the time (out of pure frustration) and bought at $3000 LCD TV. Returned it the next day and settled for Toshiba. Fantastic TV and I have never had a problem with it.

  2. …Actually, him sounding calm and informative is better than the whole “you gotta have the this t.v. right now” pitch that everyone is so used to. He was just missing the jazz music in the background, lol.

  5. All new Blu-ray players can up res a regular DVD to 1080p. That does not mean that it will look as good as a Blu-ray disc.

    Comment by HDTVSolutions — July 29, 2010 @ 11:50 pm

  6. how about if I want to see a regular DVD in a blue ray player, can I still get 1080p? or what kind of resolution are going to get?

  8. What’s the best 46″ LCD TV???

    Comment by DaChBlog — July 30, 2010 @ 12:49 am

  9. TVs have a native resolution. This Bravia’s is 1080p. You can feed it content that has a different resolution like 480 and it will play it back at 1080.

    As buckathor so subtly stated, you can’t change a TV’s resolution.

  10. @mindblank10 You can’t change the resolution moron.

    Comment by buckathor3 — July 30, 2010 @ 1:56 am

  11. Make sure you turn off the Noise reduction option on the sony TV this will clear up some of the ghosting or blurring. in the games and movies you see when the pictures scrolls left or right.

  12. Does the Sony Bravia KDL-46S5100 LCD TV have a replaceable lamp? The bulbs in some LCD’s last about 3 years then have to be replaced.
