The Bottom Line 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. It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested. The commendable picture quality of Sony's entry-level 120Hz-equipped LCD makes it a very good value. Deep black levels and accurate color help propel the LED-backlit LG LH90 series into the front row of the LCD picture quality class.
