One would think that the KDL-XBR10 would be the follow to the KDL-XBR9 LCD series, also released this year… but this is not true with the only major benefit of the XBR9 Series being the fact it has a wider variety of size available offer the 32″ KDL32XBR9 / 40″ KDL40XBR9 / 46″ KDL46XBR9 and 52″ KDL52XBR9 where the XBR8 and XBR10 lineups only offer 46-inch and 55-inch sizes. The Sony Bravia XBR9 models did away with the LED backlight found in the Sony XBR8 series, and as such actually had a noticeable price difference and performance lagged with LED being the superior albeit more expensive technology. Comparde to the KDL-XBR8 series of 2008 however the KDL52XBR10 & KDL46XBR10 have a few major differences to consider when comparing them, among the most important:

  • New Ultra-Thin design: This is accomplished with the support of having a box wirelessly transmit the 1080p signals to the television. This allows for an insanely slick and thin design while being able to put source perhiperhals out of site.
  • Internet Features - content and streaming media from sources such as Amazon, Youtube, Netflix and many more via a growing list of content providers. New internet widgets allow for display of resizeable info boxes placed on the display that can show information such as the latest stock quotes, weather updates and sports score changes up to the minute while watching your normal content.
  • MotionFlow 240Hz technology… a noticeable differences when compare vs the xbr8’s 120Hz refresh rate – for smoother and less problematic (judder), fast moving images and action
