Sony complements the high resolution with the latest technology in color reproduction. The KDL-52XBR is a 10-bit display with 10-bit processing. Most panels are only 8-bit. The added bit depth here means a larger color palette for more faithful color reproduction and smoother transitions from one color to the next. Additionally, the display also supports the new x.v.Color standard, which dramatically increases the available color space. The end result is a picture that is so detailed, colorful, and vibrant, you'd have a hard time distinguishing it from real life.
The KDL-52XBR4 features Sony's Motionflow technology, which automatically adjusts for and applies the proper processing for optimal motion reproduction depending on the video input. This includes support for 24 frames per second (24p) video, which displays video content at the 24-frames-per-second rate at which it was originally filmed or recorded. With 24p, you get the most faithful possible reproduction of the original.
A Wide Variety of Inputs
This Sony television's wide variety of inputs ensures compatibility with your other home theater components. There are three HDMI connections for Blu-Ray, HD DVD, and other technologies requiring the high bandwidth, and two component video inputs, three composite video inputs, one S-Video input, one PC Audio and Video input, and five analog audio inputs. Even with a collection of legacy components, you shouldn't have a problem connecting to the KDL-52XBR4.
Stunning Looks
The KDL-52XBR4 not only displays stunning video but is itself a head-turner. It features Sony's unique floating glass frame along with a black bezel that can be interchanged with optional color bezels to match the display to your decor.
Outstanding Ergonomics and Simplicity of Control
Sony's Xross Media Bar interface is an award-winning, intuitive on-screen display that makes setup a breeze, with menus and controls logically laid out for quick access. The KDL-52XBR4 also features Theatre Sync technology, based on the HDMI-CEC standard, which means you can easily connect to and control compatible devices. For example, when the KDL-52XBR4 is connected to a compatible DVD player, you can turn on both the DVD player and the television and start playing a DVD with a single push of a button on the remote. When you're done, another push of a button powers everything down. With Theatre Sync, you can spend time enjoying the movie rather than waste time setting everything up.
More Than Just a Television
Because more and more people expect to view photos on their HDTVs, Sony developed a Photo TV HD mode that optimally sets the sharpness, gradation, and color to make digital photos look like printed photography.
The KDL-52XBR4 is backed by a 1-year limited warranty for parts and labor.

Nearly perfect
Like other Sony products I have ever had (plasma TV, camcorders, cameras, laptops, etc.), this is no doubt another great one. I bought it earlier this year and everyone in my family just love it. No complaints. But it would be perfect if the P&P function could work just like my old Sony TV which allows me to watch two different TV channels at the same time instead of one TV channel and the video. Nothing's perfect, though.

Love It
I bought this a year ago and it is working great. Amazon's White Glove service was good. The TV arrived in a timely way during the Holidays and I helped the driver unload it, because he showed up without a partner. He was apologetic, and I was happy to get the unit in time for the Holidays. Bottom line, the TV is incredible. I was deciding between this and the 52" Samsung because of the lower price and similar high end technologies. The Sony name and design won me over, however, forget about good customer service from Sony, as they are terrible. Thank goodness the TV works so well, and hopefully I wont need additional help from them. The TV is awesome and has some terrific features. The TV's only weakness, from my point of view, is that there aren't enough HDMI ports (2 on back, 1 on side) and there is no input for DVI, just RGB (which I'm told is analog). I highly recommend this TV. You'll wow people and have lots of hours of great entertainment too. Make sure you get a strong mount if you plan to hang this on your wall as it weighs nearly 100 lbs. I bought the Omni mount dual cantilever on Amazon and it is proving to be very sturdy for the task.

sony sucks
Bought the Sony kdl52xbr4 about 9 mo. ago. The set worked fine for the first few months then the picture developed green splotches all over. Called Sony service and they gave me two options for repair places, one would not come out and the other needed two weeks before they could look at tv. They finally came and looked, they called sony and sony recommended
two different parts. Took another two weeks to get parts and have them installed, they did not help at all. Another call to Sony.. this time they said the set would need complete new screen which was on back order.
A month went by before repair shop recieved the screen, and another two weeks to schedule replacement. After screen was replaced the tv worked fairly well but picture was some what fuzzy, about three hours after repairmen left the tv went completely blank, no sound and no picture.After much complaining to Sony customer service they finally agreed to replace the tv with a referbished tv. So far three months have passed since I have been fighting with Sony customer service to resolve this problem.Hope the replacement tv works. No more sony products for me.

waited 2 long 4 a broken t.v
it took 5 week for it 2show up(i had 2 call them 3 times) then 3 weeks it broke.then it took another 3 weeks to get it fix

Sony Bravia HD TV
This is an incredible HD TV. Sony really produced a winner.
It is a beautiful piece of furniture with the glass surround and what a beautiful picture it produces, ( both HD as well as standard format)
Our neighbor viewed it and ordered one exactly like ours.
Our living room where this is placed is bright with outside light during daylight hours and the mat finish on Sony's screen obscures this and plays extremely well.
Thanks SONY


Great TV, beautiful picture
This is a very nice TV. The controls are easy to use and ports are easily accessed. The picture was superb right out of the box and required very little adjustment. Also, I turned it on using my cable box remote immediately, no synching required. Very happy with this purchase.

Sony 32 LCD
This is the second one that I purchased! It has a very clear picture and since I have it connected to my PC, I rarely watch TV anymore!
Already looking at another one.

Sony HDTV, 40 an 32 inch
I've had this TV for about six months and like everything about it. Ordering through Amazon was a snap, shipping time quick and setup as advertised. We liked it so much that we ordered a smaller version for the bedroom. Would recommend it to anyone.

Great, simply great !
Just what I expected. Excelent product, no flaws. I recommend it.

Made in Mexico
Overall I am very happy with this SONY. Great picture and easy to set up. I was however surprised to find out this TV is Made in Mexico. My fingers are crossed that it wasn't made on a Friday. We happen to live in Mexico a good part of the year and I am not a fan of electronics made there. Just as I am not a fan of American made autos.
