Sony BRAVIA KDL-52XBR9 52-inch LCD HDTV Review (1080p, 240 Hz)
Specifications: This is a full-HD LCD HDTV model that can display videos at a 1920 x 1080 resolution (1080p). The Sony BRAVIA KDL-52XBR9 has a 52-inch LCD TFT screen. Underneath the screen, there are 2 hidden speakers that produce a total of 20 watts in audio power. There are also some pretty cool audio features such as auto volume adjustment and voice zoom. This model comes with an array of standard connectors including 4 HDMI ports and 2 USB ports. Unlike many other LCD HDTVs, most of the connectors are located on the side of the device, giving them easier access when connecting to other devices.
Design: Overall, the Sony BRAVIA KDL-52XBR9 has a pretty good design. It has an black glossy frame that is skirted by a layer of transparent plastic. I personally think that televisions should have subtle designs so that the design would withstand the test of time and this model has just that. The frame around the screen is also pretty thin, making the screen appear much larger than it really is. It rests on a non-swivel, black and glossy stand.
Features & Performance: Like most high-end models, the Sony BRAVIA KDL-52XBR9 comes with a wide array of color and picture settings. When connected to the internet, the LCD can access online content such as streaming videos (YouTube and other services), Yahoo Widgets and other online multimedia.
The black levels on this model were very dark for a LCD TV. Thanks to the 240Hz refresher rate, fast-moving video sequences were smooth and flawless. The colors were generally very accurate and it also played standard-definition videos well. Due to the matte screen surface, it reflected very little light (if any at all) in bright lighting. It is also very energy efficient (it is EPA Energy Star compliant), using just an average of $51.17 in energy annually.
