The Sony XBR9 series of televisions are their high end elite range of sets, and the Sony KDL-46XBR9 is one of the latest to be released; however, it comes with a fairly hefty price tag. So, what is it that makes this television worth its money or is it actually a bit of a lame duck and falls short of being less than impressive? When the rather large box arrived in the office we were keen to get unpacking and see if Sony are keeping their reputation alive and kicking with this set.
Design
Unpacking the television is a two-man job, as this is the 46-inch LCD set and it isn't light, so you will need to take that into account when picking a television for your lounge. LCD televisions are not really suitable for wall mounting. Although they are thin, they do weigh more that the Plasma sets which is why these are more popular for wall mounting. Back to the Sony KDL-46XBR9. We took the protective layers off and set the unit on the side, and we were impressed. Once again Sony has created an eye pleaser as the television is a lovely sleek black, and the frame is sensationally thin which really gives an excellent effect. The stand is small and understated, and over all this is one sleek looking television that will look fantastic in any living room big enough to accommodate the lovely 46 inch screen.
Functionality
Sony is proud of their elite range of televisions, and the Sony KDL-46XBR9 is no exception. This is a full high definition 1080p resolution set and the picture quality is simply awesome, and this is thanks in part to the supporting technologies, as there is also the built in Sony Bravia Engine 3 working away. And it just doesn't end there. In order to improve the picture quality and provide a true cinema experience in the comfort of your own home, there are also two more clever pieces of technology working to support the picture. First the 24p True Cinema support, which adds the ability to view movies in their intended 24frame per second format, and secondly the Motionflow in-house Sony technology, which is much improved and now features a 240Hz refresh rate. This gives rise to superior and advanced image clarity, especially in scenes that contain rapid motion.
There are connectivity options bursting out all over this baby. Whether you want to hook the television up to the laptop to make showing your latest holiday snaps into an evening's entertainment, or whether you want to take advantage of the fact that you can connect this set to the broadband connection in your home, you are going to find something there that appeals to you. By connecting to the Internet the clever men in white coats at Sony have created an Internet based television guide, which not only gives you access to all scheduling information but also helps you access the internet through the television set itself. Sony are also keen to point out that this television is compliant with the Digital Living Network Alliance, which for those that don't know is an organization that was set up to try and encourage manufacturers to follow a certain industry standard when building new products that would make them all compatible with each other and mean that the consumer didn't have to worry about issues with compatibility and connectivity, as long as all the equipment they purchased was part of the DLNA compliance. Finally there are the standard connections for USB devices and 4 HDMI slots, meaning there is room for your DVD player, Blu-ray player or AV receiver. Whatever you want to create your perfect home viewing experience really!
Conclusion
There is little doubt that the Sony KDL-46XBR9 high definition television offers an outstanding performance and provides a picture quality that will take some beating. It is just loaded with features, and really there is little negative to say about it. Sony have once again struck gold, and with the clever addition of things like the Internet based television guide they just can't lose. What it comes down to now is, have you the space in your house for this particular model? If not, they make smaller sets, and can you afford the price tag that goes with the 46-inch set? One thing is for sure. If you can afford it you will certainly not be disappointed with your purchase, and don't forget it is really pretty to look at too!
