| The Bottom Line | CNET did not review the Sony KDL-40XBR4, but we did review a larger model in the series. | 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. | With a full suite of interactive features as well as solid picture quality, the Sony KDL-W5100 series might be worth the higher price to streaming video fans. | The commendable picture quality of Sony's entry-level 120Hz-equipped LCD makes it a very good value. | Sony's high-end KDL-XBR9 series of LCD TV offers a bundle of extras and solid picture quality, but the price will turn off most buyers. |
