I have been researching televisions for over a year now anticipating a purchase. I loved this model of TV from the first time my uncle had bought his 52" version. I was initially considering a newer XBR and also a Panasonic G10 plasma set. All I can say is that I am extremely glad with my purchase. from Amazon.com I would buy this TV all over again. Paid $2,499 for it in January 2008, which at the time, was $800 cheaper than 2 very popular brick and mortar places. As much as I appreciate a great picture, I am no audio/videophile. from Amazon.com Loved the TV until it failed. Thought I was buying top of the line and found out that a 1 year warranty was my downfall. The LCD screen became fuzzy and had double and triple images. Took it into authorized repair where the repair was going to cost $2000.00. from Amazon.com Purchased the KDL-46XBR4 in Sep '07 and thought I could forgo the extended warranty because Sony was a great brand. After 18 months the LCD is failing and Sony was very quick to tell me that it's out of warranty. from Amazon.com We are very pleased with this television. After exhaustive research, we are very happy that we purchased the SONY at such a great price. from Amazon.com This Sony TV Has a Beautiful Picture from ALL Sources. I have cable and a upconverting DVD. from Amazon.com We bought one for last Xmas. We've only used it for 3-4 months and kept it off during a renovation. Back in Oct, I called for service. Two LCD panels, two FC circuit boards & one analog board and the set is still inoperative. from Amazon.com This is all that it is represented to be. Am using the built in speakers and they are more than adequate for a non-audiophile. Picture and color are excellent. from Amazon.com I have saved for over a year for XBR4 and I'm so glad I did. When I was setting it up I felt like a little kid on Christmas day. from Amazon.com Now It is $1899.00??? You have to get this. I loved it so much that I bought another Sony Bravia 40 inch for my bedroom. Both are outstanding. from Amazon.com
