SONY BRAVIA KDL-40XBR2

SONY'S Latest 40 inch Set Delivers The Best Contrast and Color quality I have seen from any LCD HDTV to date. Compared with last year's model, the XBR2 offers nearly twice the screen resolution. triple the number of digital video inputs (HDMI), and a lower price.Unpacking SONY KDL-40XBR2 is a two-person job, since the factory-attached base stand brings the TV'S total weight to just over 77 pounds. The set's completely redesigned exterior features a thin black bezel set within a wide Silver-colored frame that nicely conceals the TV's fixed, side-mounted speakers. For the more style conscious, optional colored bezels are available. Incorporating all of these updates within the span of one product generation is admirable: still. Sony continues to ship its Bravia LCI) IIIVI Vs with default picture settings that fail to suppress common image artifacts when displaying standard-definition video. Also, off-axis viewing with the XBR2 exhibited loss of color saturation earlier than most other LCDs I've seen recently. Those issues aside, the KDL-40XBR2 can deliver some of the most accurate and pleasing imagery of any 1080p LCI) HPTVs on the market today. In terms of color quality and image contrast, this TV flat-out performs.
