Sony KDL-46XBR9 Magnificent

Outstanding product. I couldn't be happier with this TV. Picture and features are excellent. It was delivered, freight free, quicker than a local dealer could have gotten it ordered for me. PLUS, including a stunning matching stand saved me about $975 over a local dealer price.

Sony KDL-46XBR9 New Sony Bravia

After several months of looking,pricing,and yes,agonizing, Amazon had the best price,no freight,no tax and prompt,reliable service. Amazon beat everyone by a country mile with their sale price.That is what actually motivated me to make the purchase.
I am totally satisfied with my Sony and would recommend this model to my friends. It redefines the t.v. watching experience.

Sony KDL-46XBR9 Great TV, Good delivery service from Amazon

I was back and forth between this TV and the SamSung LN46B750. The price on this dropped to $1649 a few weeks ago, while the Samsung TV went up. The Contrast ratio for this one was 100000:1 compare to Samsung 150000:1, but really I can't tell with my eyes. I don't trust Samsung yet, but I trusted Sony XBR reputation. However, the price, and buy online with free delivery was nice to term saving money. I updated the firmware without any problem. Nice TV. I can't see any negative. I was very hesitant to buy Online since I don't know how it would turn out in case I need to return, but the AMaZON delivery was great. They unbox, set TV up, turn it on before I signed the acceptance. The delivery company they used was PILOT, which has a couple of guys in their 40's or 50's. Very nice guys, very gentlemen. Now I see the price went back up, I am glad I bought it. The sounds for this Sony TV is much better than the Samsung when I check it out at Bestbuys.

Sony KDL-46XBR9 HDTV

After researching flat screen LCD's we decided on this one. There is a learning curve and it's worth it to take the time. Not just with sony but in general with HD's. We were sold on Amazon because of no sales tax and free shipping. Delivery was fast and efficient. The only dissatisfier to date is the mute button on the remote which is too small. Otherwise, we can use the Directv remote in combination. There are many nice features on the sony remote and I like the compatibility with my other sony devices.
The picture is so clear, we really love it.

Sony KDL-46XBR9 is an excellent TV and worth the price

Sony BRAVIA XBR Series KDL-46XBR9 46-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV, BlackI did extensive research to determine the best quality TV for my bedroom and settled on Sony's 46XBR9. The picture is excellent and the built-in internet capability is exceptional. We rent from Amazon movies all the time, which has saved money on our cable bill since we were able to reduce our plan. The other TVs I compared were Samsung's LED, which is nice and light, but I worry about the reliability now, expecially since the technology is new. I have seen both pictures and the XBR9 compares well with the LED. Sony's XBR8 has the ultimate picture, but it is pricy and lacks the internet capability. I also have a 52XBR6, which has a very vivid picture and I love it. I haven't seen much difference with the faster speed of the XBR9, but it's nice to have it for high-speed action. The price with Amazon was exceptional, and you want to watch prices from day to day because they vary several hundred dollars sometimes. Amazon usually doesn't adjust the price you paid if a new price goes down in 30 days, but they were nice enough to do it in my case. I also bought surge protectors from Amazon, but bought my heavy duty wall mount from another site. Amazon is excellent and my new Sony was delivered with "white glove" efficiency and care. Great TV and purchase experience.

Sony KDL-46XBR9 Excellent picture, does not disappoint

Bought this TV last weekend, so have had it for 1 week now, and must say that is nearly perfect. The picture quality of HD broadcasts (over TimeWarner cable) is very good, and standard broadcasts are not bad at all (better than expected). The audio is quite good as well, even though I will eventually upgrade to a home theatre system, but for now, it is more than acceptable. I did not alter any of the pre-configured settings for the picture (I selected 'Home' as the pre-configuration setting off of the Bravia initial setup) and have no reason to tweak this at all, despite having a rather bright living room. Recommend this TV to anyone and everyone!

Sony KDL-46XBR9 Wonderful TV

Tried the LG 47 inch LH40 and then the Samsung 46 inch LED B6000. Had both for about two weeks before returning them. The Sony not only has more features but has a much better and consistent picture than the previous two. The LG has a major lip synch problem and the Samsung had a great picture as long as you were in front of it. Anything slightly to the side and the picture was unwatchable. The sound on this Tv is great as well. Definately a wonderful TV and I strongly recommend it.

Sony KDL-46XBR9 Amazing picture

I bought this TV because of Sony's legendary reputation in beautiful pictures and previous experience with the XBR line. As expected, the picture is absolutely great. If you want amazing HDTV, then this set is for you. The TV has a very simple and understated front, which I like a lot. The Amazon delivery was great! Two men brought it into the house, put it where we wanted it, connected it, turned it on and checked the remote for operation. The deliveryman was familiar with the TV and went above and beyond by doing the initial setup, which admittedly was simple, but not something he was required to do. There are only two drawbacks so far. The stand is flimsy feeling and wobbles like a weeble if you bump the set. My XBR4 had a rock solid stand. I just attached a cable to the wall for piece of mind (didn't want it falling on the grand kids). The second thing is a lack of PIP or P&P, both of which were on my KDL40XBR4. Bottom line--love it so far.

Sony KDL-46XBR9 A Wow Item - Just Terrific

Just received this last week. Of course, Amazon beat any other pricing by a wide margin - by at least $500 for the cheapest store bought price (on sale) and I even checked some stores on a walk in and they were charging $1,000 above the Amazon price or more. Delivery was free and could not wait to get this set out of the box. I researched a great many LCD's before picking this one. I wanted the very latest technology to ward off obsolesence, at the best price I could find, and am not disappointed one bit by this set. Easy set up, and just with the building's digital antenna, the picture is absolutely outstanding. There are many presets, but with a bit of tweaking, as it appears with most LCDs, you get a terrific picture. You can customize each preset if you wish. Setting adjustments are intuitive and the screen navigation is very easy. Sound is pretty decent as well, although I already have it hooked into my AV. I have already watched sports, television and DVDs and all have been as crisp, vibrant, without drag or latency, as I have ever seen on an LCD this size. The contrast ratio is just unreal and my eyes are still getting used to it. Plenty of input/output options including plenty of HDMI and even ethernet and PC connections. Having Fios HD installed this week and can't wait to see how it looks. So far, am very satisfied and would definitely recommend at the price. Thanks Amazon!
