Duration of ownership: 1 Months

Strengths: color accuracy, brightness, image quality in brightly lite room

Weaknesses:some artifacts in high-speed movement

Overall Evaluation: This unit is a replacemnt for a 50" SXRD that I previously thought to be the best set in the world. The SXRD died a painful death. The 52XBR4 apepars to keep almost all of the positives of the SXRD, but the picture is a bit birther yet, and the depth of the set enables wall mount - a BIG PLUS! All in all, this may be the best that I have seen - period. Summary - a bit pricy, a bit heavy for a LCD flat panel, a bit slow in input switching, BUT still a most excellent set. BTW - the digital tuner works excellent with Verizon FIOS.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Incredible Picture Quality (HD and SD), Picture & Picture, All the ports you need, Intuitive Menu, Great Design

Weaknesses:Menu could be faster

Overall Evaluation: This TV is incredible! I have seen numerous HDTVs and the picture quality on this one blows all the others out of the water. The non-HD material looks really good as well. I have never seen an HDTV to rival a regular TV at displaying 480i (regular cable) signals but this one does it!It has numerous connections and includes features that make it futureproof for many years (such as 1080p/24 and some color features that only the PS3 can currently support)Bottom line: The pinnacle of television viewing

Duration of ownership: 2 Days

Strengths: Quality design and features such as ample HDMI and Composite connections.

Weaknesses:A little pricy but if you shop around you can find some good deals.

Overall Evaluation: I purchased this TV from LCD TVs after shopping around for about a month. Had one of the best prices at the time, free shipping and some good reviews. I received the TV in an amazing two days in perfect condition from a friendly delivery man. This is highly unusual as it is normally 5 - 10 working days unless you want to pay more. I received a phone call within 24 hours and a confirmation email almost immediately. They of course tried to sell me some accessories like an extended warranty, cables and wall mount but where not push about it. I had already purchased these products from other sites as I am a little picky in what I buy. Overall I was surprisingly impressed with the whole ordeal.

Duration of ownership: 21 Days

Strengths: uniform backlighting, Style, Rich color, 3 HDMI ports,BIG BIG

Weaknesses:Not a Plasma, and new LCDs are going to be coming along very soon.

Overall Evaluation: If you want to get a great LCD TV you can't go wrong with this one. I can't say for sure that this is the BEST LCD on the market, but it must be in the top two. After just coming off a bad experience with the sharp 64U family of LCDs this Sony is a dream. The picture and colors are outstanding, and the black level is soooo good for a LCD. There is a saying out here on the net about the size of your TV. It goes something like this, "whatever size TV you think you want, go with one size larger." This is not true. It should go something like this, "Whatever size TV you think you want, @#$& it, get as big as you can afford." These TV are only about 6 inchs thick and don't take up any usable space in your rooms. You just sit them as close to the wall and they look great. The whole Plasma vs LCD thing is over blown. Here is the score card I used to evaluate the panisonic 700 plasma family against the xbr4 1. Blacks --- Panny 2. Colors --- Sony 3. Style --- Sony 4. Power use- Sony 5. Gaming --- Sony yes for the movie purest the pioneer Plasma is the way to go, and if I had the extra $2,000 I would have got one. I did a whole lot of research on the TVs and the XBR4 is my choice for bang for the buck!

Overall Evaluation: The Sony BRAVIA XBR KDL-52XBR4 52-inch 1080p LCD Flat Panel HDTV continues Sony's tradition of making outstanding televisions, and with a 52-inch screen, you'll be the envy of all your neighbors. Sony does not hold back with any technologies, and the XBR series is its flagship line--so with the XBR, you know you'll get the best quality home theater experience available.
