The ability to display full HD is just one of the things that a consumer looks for when purchasing an LCD or plasma screen. In addition, users also look for a panel that will give them the best visual experience possible.
Sony's Bravia KDL-46XBR comes new and improved, with the promise of great picture quality, a 10-bit panel with incorporated Motionflow 100Hz, and Full HD 1080 resolution.
The new KDL-46XBR still sports a clear glass frame but now favours a brushed aluminium bezel. The fascia of the screen is bare as the control buttons for the unit (like Power, Program Buttons, Volume Control, Input Select, and Menu button) can be found on the right side panel. Several connectivity ports (Headphone jack, S-Video, Composite video input, RCA stereo audio input jack, USB port, and HDMI) can be found on the unit's left side, making it easy for users to hook up various equipments.
Sony also made sure that users can connect various equipment like gaming consoles, home theatre systems, HD DVD/ Blu-ray players, and even PCs as the KDL-46XBR has an abundance of video and audio ports at its rear. Ports include two HDMI inputs (giving the unit a total of 3 HDMI ports), PC input (D-Sub), two sets of component video input, three sets of RCA stereo audio input jack, an S-video input, a Digital Out (Optical), and a pair of RCA output jack.
The remote control is well-labelled but it may take users some time before being able to fully utilise it. Besides being able to control the screen, Sony claims that its remote control can be programmed to be used for various DVD players, Sony's Blu-ray player, as well as its DAV Home Theatre Systems.
