“KDL-40XBR5 is Beautiful. Worth Every Penny”

Sony Bravia KDL-40XBR5 Review from Amazon.com
As a retired Electronics Technician with a vast DVD collection I wanted the best HDTV there is. The difference between HDTV picture quality is currently much greater than the traditional CRT or “tube” TV’s. In particular, the Contrast Ratio is one of the most important features.
Yes, this HDTV is expensive, but if you add up all your Cable/Satellite/Internet and DVD purchases over a 15 year period you might discover it’s worth while to get a quality HDTV.
You will want to experiment with the settings for optimal viewing. When you watch a good BluRay or HD-DVD movie on this HDTV it will be worth every penny. If you only have $800 for a new TV I can NOT recommend going High Def yet as regular programming will look WORSE on an HDTV with inferior video processing and low Contrast Ratio.
This is arguably the best HDTV and well worth the money. Sony TV’s are high quality, but do get an extended Warranty. OLED technology is going to replace LCD but it will be at least two years before we see a reasonably priced HDTV.
Again, if you spend $800 on an HDTV you’ll be disappointed but if you bite the bullet and invest in a quality HDTV like this one you’ll really be glad you did. You’ll get frustrated with the picture quality (or it’ll break) on a cheaper HDTV and buy a new one in a few years time. Go to Sony’s site, look at the terms and Google and/or use Wikipedia to research. You’ll be glad you did.
Sony. This HDTV is simply AMAZING
