Top-Notch Video Performance
The XBR KDL-46XBR4 is a 1080p television with a full 1920 x 1080 resolution, the highest resolution available for the sharpest, clearest picture. The KDL-46XBR uses the most recent HDMI 1.3 interface, which houses both audio and video signals in one connector and has the bandwidth to support the data needed for the high resolution. Sony’s Bravia Engine Pro Full Digital Video Processor upconverts all video signals to 1080p so you can watch all your old DVDs on this glorious display.
Sony complements the high resolution with the latest technology in color reproduction. The KDL-46XBR is a 10-bit display with 10-bit processing. Most panels are only 8-bit. The added bit depth here means a larger color palette for more faithful color reproduction and smoother transitions from one color to the next. Additionally, the display also supports the new x.v.Color standard, which dramatically increases the available color space. The end result is a picture that is so detailed, colorful, and vibrant, you’d have a hard time distinguishing it from real life.
The KDL-46XBR4 features Sony’s Motionflow technology, which automatically adjusts for and applies the proper processing for optimal motion reproduction depending on the video input. This includes support for 24 frames per second (24p) video, which displays video content at the 24-frames-per-second rate at which it was originally filmed or recorded. With 24p, you get the most faithful possible reproduction of the original.
A Wide Variety of Inputs
This Sony television’s wide variety of inputs ensures compatibility with your other home theater components. There are three HDMI connections for Blu-Ray, HD DVD, and other technologies requiring the high bandwidth, and two component video inputs, three composite video inputs, one S-Video input, one PC Audio and Video input, and five analog audio inputs. Even with a collection of legacy components, you shouldn’t have a problem connecting to the KDL-46XBR4.
Stunning Looks
The KDL-46XBR4 not only displays stunning video but is itself a head-turner. It features Sony’s unique floating glass frame along with a black bezel that can be interchanged with optional color bezels to match the display to your decor.
Outstanding Ergonomics and Simplicity of Control
Sony’s Xross Media Bar interface is an award-winning, intuitive on-screen display that makes setup a breeze, with menus and controls logically laid out for quick access. The KDL-46XBR4 also features Theatre Sync technology, based on the HDMI-CEC standard, which means you can easily connect to and control compatible devices. For example, when the KDL-46XBR4 is connected to a compatible DVD player, you can turn on both the DVD player and the television and start playing a DVD with a single push of a button on the remote. When you’re done, another push of a button powers everything down. With Theatre Sync, you can spend time enjoying the movie rather than waste time setting everything up.
More Than Just a Television
Because more and more people expect to view photos on their HDTVs, Sony developed a Photo TV HD mode that optimally sets the sharpness, gradation, and color to make digital photos look like printed photography.
The KDL-46XBR4 is backed by a 1-year limited warranty for parts and labor.

Customer Reviews
Just Do It
After weeks of research and listening to the geeks at the box store all I can say is take the step and make a big purchase online. The TV is the best, arrived early and I saved over $800 by having a little patience!!! The set essentially does all the set up for you. Directions are first rate and the folks at Sony know how to make HD humm! I selected a Sony based on my previous set purchase where my Sony Trinitron (19″) has served me well and continues to be a soild TV for over the past 24 years now. You simply can’t beat this company. Many try, but their Sony products stand alone and the test of time. Be aware of the secondary costs; HDMI cables, component cables, power conditioning, HD tuners if your on dish etc. They can easly add another $500!! But you saved more on the set; making these additions a no brainer. Buy these online as well and you’ll laugh all the way to your favorite chair to watch your new set up. Hope this helps the undecided!!!
Best TV I have owned!
I have the older generation XBR3 by Sony also and thought that TV was awesome, but this blows it away by leaps. Have it hooked up to a PS3, movies are so clear my kid doesn’t want to go to theaters any more. Can’t go wrong with this one.
Awesome screen, simply the best out there!
I compared a few Full HD panels side by side, and the Sony simply stands out. Top of the line Sony and they did well this time. Awesome image, superb Motionflow technology and XV color.
Paired with my PS3, it produces stunning HD images and movies. Not to mention gaming in Full HD.
Colors are vibrant, blacks are black. Stunning picture quality. Unrivaled even at a higher price compared to other makes. Bravo to Sony!
