WOW!! I think that every time I turn on my new 52XBR9. The colors are absolutely astounding. I've researched HDTV for several years and waited till the price on this model came down to my acceptable price range. I didn't want to settle for something less than top quality (I just retired a Sony WEGA XBR, so I'm a bit spoiled). There's no need for me to repeat all the technical attributes mentioned in other reviews. This is simply as good as a TV can get.

From what I have noticed with other LCDs is the picture looks too defined. It ultimately makes non-HD content look fake. This TV does not do that, however adjustments are necessary. I have owned another Bravia from the previous a generation and it is awesome. The sound from the TV is better than average and really a great quality sound, but get a 5:1 or better sound system for your movies. I also own a Aquos which is equally comparable to the Bravia, but the Aquos is from the 1st generation of LCD TV.
So if you don't want to plunge into LED just yet; I suggest the XBR Bravia line. There's great features in this model for connecting to on-line content, however no web browser. There's several widgets and plenty of internet feeds to wet your whistle (i.e. U-Tube...). Definitely get it if you want some internet TV... it's not blazing fast but you can still receive regular broadcasts during widget operation, incredible! But no web browser, new feeds and widgets are created and occasionally there are connection issues with widgets (it was really bad when I first got the TV but it is much better now).

I upgraded from a 42" TV. WOW what a difference. I was worried it would be too big. however after having the TV for a few months now I can say it's a perfect size. Delivery was simple and easy. They called a few days out and gave me a few options of delivery days/times. They took the TV out of the box and set it up on the stand for me. Normally they would test it, but since it was cold out i signed a waiver that they did not test the TV and that if I had any issues once the TV warmed up they would come back and return the TV. Luckily there were no issues at all.
The internet widgets are really useful. I like that I can stream netflix to my TV and do not have to use my xbox to do this. The interface is simple and easy for netflix/ streaming video. I have a cable box , but was interested in the built in tuner/ TV guide function. It took about 15 minutes or so to scan all my channels. I picked a good amount of HD channels(QAM). The tv guide interface is slick and makes navigating the channels like having a cable box. Very cool feature. Picture quality via built in tuner is better than my Scientific Atlantic cable box over hdmi (I blame my cable box on this)
I do not use built in sound but tried it out for a bit. The built in sound sounds good for what it is, but if you are going to spend this kind of money on an HDTV you might as well pickup a surround sound setup. It was simple to shut off the built in speakers and only use the digital from TV to send to my receiver.
The picture quality on this TV is amazing. Bluray looks amazing. THe opening scene in the dark knight filmed in IMAX at full 16:9 is jaw dropping! The depth and clarity/color is stunning. Motion blur is reduced vs my previous 42" tv. There are a few clear frame/stabilization modes. Standard is the best option in my opinion. If you have it set to high it changes the intent of what a director wants you to watch the movie. For sports / reality shows I can stand the high mode, but for movies I had to switch it off.
There are different scene presets which are great! You can tweak the settings for each type of viewing mode. IE sports, gaming, movies, pc connection, etc etc. This is very useful. My TV is in a bright room (reason i got this over the sammy with a glossy screen) and during the day it's nice to have the presets for different lighting conditions/viewing content etc etc. I use the sports mode for my daytime viewing (back light / color all the way up) During the evening for TV content I use the general setting and tweaked the back light/color to be better for low light viewing. For movie watching (all lights off) I have the "theater" mode tweaked / tuned via THX optimizer (Terminator 2 bluray). TV came really close to THX spec only a few settings needed to be tweaked.
Overall I really am satisfied with this purchase/experience from amazon.

The TV was very good.I opted for the bundle - TV + home theater for $1999
While mounting it on a swivel stand I noticed that out of the 4 bolt holes (on the back side of set) one hole is missing its thread. It is not the screw.bolt. I had M6 screws. Amazon couldn't provide me a replacement because they ran out of stock. I checked with Sony who suggests that the best bet would be to return to Amazon. Now that Thanks Giving sale is over, I can't get that kind of TV at that price. I am stuck with a big TV stand which I bought just to house that TV.

This is my second Sony XBR purchase. This tv rocks! I own an older and smaller XBR2 40 that is amazing and problem free. The XBR9 is also half as thick as the XBR2. I cant say enough good about this tv!
I cant wait for the XBR10 to come out and the price to come down. Rumor has it that the 10 is only 30mm thick and 8lbs lighter.
I will for sure buy again!
