Review Of Samsung 1080p Led Lcd Hdtv
The 52-inch 1080p Sony Bravia Xbr Kdl-52xbr4 is the Ultimate LCD Hdtv
The 52-Inch 1080p Sony Bravia XBR KDL-52XBR4 is the ultimate LCD HDTV. If you want the best picture, this LCD HDTV is the one to get. Yes, the Sony KDL-52XBR4 is more expensive than other brands, but you get what you pay for. The Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 is the Mercedes of LCD HDTVs.
The Motion Flow 120hz refresh rate helps smooth out sports games and action scenes that has been plaguing LCD TVs with their ghosting effect. Although it's not a significant difference over previous models, it's there and it's working. Every little bit of help is welcomed. If there any blurring, it's usually a source problem like watching low quality video.
Watching HD content on the 52-Inch Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 1080p LCD HDTV is simply amazing. Colors are true and stand out like no TV has ever done. Everything looks 3D and pops out like you're looking through a window. Is this even possible without 3D glasses? Side by side with any LCD HDTV out there, the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 takes the cake. The only other LCD HDTV that comes close is the Samsung LNT5271F 52? 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV.
The Samsung does have better blacks, but you can't even tell. Samsung's screen is a little reflective to give the picture a look of higher contrast, but the reflection can be annoying especially in a well lit room. The screen on the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 1080p LCD HDTV has no glare at all and works well in a bright room. The backlight adjusts itself accordingly when in bright or dark rooms. The screen does not distract at all and will constantly amaze your family and friends with its awesome picture.
Once you receive the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 1080p LCD HDTV, you should turn off the "vivid" setting and switch to something more comfortable to the eyes especially if you're watching in standard definition. SD quality video will look bad if you don't. You should also change the screen from "full" to "wide full" when watching SD to give SD content the best display possible. This will fill up the screen instead of having some blank areas on the left and right of the TV.
DVD's also look good and sometimes even blu-ray-ish. That's how good this TV is. The best way to watch movies of course is with a Blu-Ray movie. You can't buy an HDTV like this and not get a Blu-Ray player or a Playstation 3 (comes with Blu-Ray). If your budget doesn't allow you to get one yet, DVD is still outstanding with this TV, but you should get Blu-Ray eventually.
If you're not planning to get a home theater sound system just yet, the built-in sound of the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 1080p LCD HDTV is good enough. It's better than most LCD TVs out there.
To go along with the beautiful picture that the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 1080p LCD HDTV is capable of producing, the unit itself is beautiful with the floating glass frame. You can also change the bezel to a color that matches your home more if you want to. If you like the piano black finish of the V3000 or XBR3, you can buy the XBR5 model which exactly the same set as the XBR4 except for the piano black finish.
If you want the best looking set out there and price doesn't matter, the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 1080p LCD HDTV is the one to buy. You won't regret it because this is as good as it gets for now. Amazon has the best prices around and if they lower the price in 30 days after your purchase, you can contact them and they'll refund the difference. The Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR4 1080p LCD HDTV is pricey, but that's because the quality is incomparable.

BITS; Disruptions: TV Makers Ignore Apps At Their Own Peril
12 Mar 2012 at 12:00am SAN FRANCISCO -- Every night, I get home from work, drop onto the couch and sit there surfing the Web or watching videos on my 3 1/2-inch iPhone screen. My big-screen HDTV sits powered off on the other side of the room. It isn't broken, either - well, at least not in the traditional sense. It's actually brand new. When I moved here last year I...Read more...
Q & A; Talking Out of Turn
6 Mar 2012 at 12:00am 
Q.I watch television through a small antenna attached to my HDTV. Sometimes the sound and picture get increasingly out of sync as a show goes on. The sound usually precedes the picture. Why does that happen? A. Although the pictures and sound in digital television are transmitted together (the technical term is ''multiplexed''), they are ''separate...Read more...
GADGETWISE; Taking a Glimpse Beyond the High-Definition Horizon
2 Feb 2012 at 12:00am If your 1080p high-definition TV is just not good enough for you, two technologies that were on display at the International Consumer Electronics Show in January may be the upgrades you were waiting for.

STATE OF THE ART; Big Screen, Powered By iPhone
8 Dec 2011 at 12:00am 
Everything changed when people started writing their own apps for the iPhone. Suddenly its talents as a phone -- which, at least at the outset, weren't particularly impressive -- paled in comparison to its abilities as a computer. These days, this business of phone-as-brain goes way beyond stand-alone apps. Nowadays, the iPhone handles the...Read more...
