Product brief
Description: The Sony Bravia KDL-70XBR7 is a 70-inch, LCD television.Compared to other LCD TVs on the market, it is expensive at around $20,000.This flat-TV is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.
Pros: With built-in HDTV compatibility, this television can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition.(It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)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: Has only a rear connector location.
Suitability: Suited for a large room or a home theater.In general, 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: In general, this TV's price seems hard to justify, with respect to its features.
