Abstract: This is the largest LCD flat panel screen produced by Sony. LCD manufacturers such as Sony didnt miss a beat in developing the extra pixels necessary to jump from 1080i to 1080p. Was the jump to more pixels worth the increase in price? Was it just a ...
There is a lot to like about the Sony KDL-46XBR2. Spot-on color temperature and realistic color reproduction when calibrated. Plus that mouth-watering detail -- 2 million pixels of it. It really can look breathtaking on certain high definition material...
