“Not perfect, but there is no better LCD in the market”

Review of Sony KDL46XBR5 from Amazon.com
I owned the KDL-46XBR3 for a year, then I had an unexpected opportunity to replace it with the Sony Bravia KDL46XBR5 LCD TV.
If I thought that the XBR3 picture was amazing, the XBR5 is even better, much better. Movies get unprecedented realism, almost 3D. It is a visual experience I never had with any TV I ever watched.
Of course, a few analog channels look bad when stretched to 46″, but that is true for anyone upgrading from a 27″ low-def tube to an HD big fixed-pixel screen.
The XBR3’s menu was easier to use than the fancy XMB in the XBR5, and both sets have big but basic remotes which are not good for anything other than controlling the TV itself. No buttons for even cable box’s info, guide, page up/down etc.
And yes, its design is a stunner on the wall, when turned off.
Don’t forget to read the reviews for KDL-46XBR4, it is the same TV.
