Remarkable picture quality and eye-popping colors are hallmarks of this XBR 6-Series LCD HDTV. Sony's BRAVIA engine and Advanced Contrast Enhancer dynamic backlight control combine to offer phenomenal picture quality in 52-inch screen size.Customer Review: Best bang for the buck
This TV is worth every penny, this is by far the best and most amazing picture I have ever seen. I haven't even seen it in 1080P yet I look froward to some blu ray action soon.
Customer Review: Sony's creme de la creme
Sony Bravia XBR KDL-52XBR6 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV I have this TV for about 2 weeks now. Picture is crisp and well detailed, colors are beyond words can describe, black levels are really good as in you see every detail in any dark/grayscale scene while the blacks remain truly black. I was comparing side by side the black levels to Samsung's 850 series, and although the black on Samsung seems to be darker (due to their glossy screen) it didn't show any details in dark scene, just a big black spot... Sony actually shows you the picture as it's meant to be. The color range offered by the 10 bit panel & processor is very vivid. the 120hz Motion flow is perfected and honestly you cannot tell the difference if you purchase the 240hz in XBR7, you just pay almost 2,000.00 extra for a feature you won't feel. If you are watching this TV in pitch black room and you have a pitch black scene (with nothing but black in it) you will feel "the clouding effect" aka Mura, but it's not even worth mentioning since this is only viewable if nothing else was on the TV... I did the calibration using DVE bluray disk and using the THX. i want to say the the DVE was more detailed and specific than THX, but the calibration is highly recommended. I hooked the TV to my PS3 and the whole experience was beyond Amazing... on my previous SDTV i could hardly read anything in the PSN now it's all crystal clear and beautiful. Colors are so vivid, games are beyond amazing... playing it now feels much better than playing the huge screen video games at the arcades when i was a kid. Blurays are better than going to the movies by 10 times, i no longer want to go see a movie in theater, would rather wait till it's out on bluray, especially if you add up a good Dolby TrueHD capable sound system.. Amazon's price was the best out there, i bought it from Amazon.com on Thanksgiving day for much less than what it is nowadays, however price was fluctuating several times every day for some reason... but it's never been as low since that day!! White Glove delivery (through Pilot) is very good, they went inside unpacked and placed the TV on its stand, they even waited for about 10 minutes while i ran some tests on the TV... To sum it all, this is the best TV money can buy for a reasonable price especially on Amazon.com's best price/service. The 55XBR8 is a better TV but it's 3 times the price with only 3 inches more!
