Product brief
Description: The Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR3 is a 46-inch, LCD television.Compared to other LCD TVs on the market, it is expensive at around $3,300.This flat-TV is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.
Pros: This set can display images that are sharper and more realistic than analog television when connected to a high definition signal.The 3:2 pulldown feature of this unit reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.
Cons: None noted, given available product data.
Suitability: Suitable as a primary TV in a mid-size room.Also, a wide aspect TV such as this one is well suited for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.
Value: Overall, this TV's price seems a bit steep, with respect to its features.For example, when it comes to viewable screen size, the average price of LCD televisions with similar viewable size is considerably less -- right around $2,050.
