Although CNET did not review the 46-inch Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR8, we did review the 55-inch Sony Bravia KDL-55XBR8. Judging from their spec sheets the two Sony flat-panel LCDs are basically identical but for screen size, so we expect the review of the 55-incher to give a good indication of how the 46-inch model will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Sony Bravia KDL-55XBR8.

Summary: The 46-inch Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR8 lacks the integrated multimedia capabilities of other LED-based HDTVs, but it makes up for it with picture quality that's second to none.
