The first thing about this LCD TV: expensive, but this is what we expect from a XBR high-end model from Sony. They are trying to explain the high price by superior design and powerful performance: FULL 1080p high definition resolution, a dynamic contrast 100,000:1 ratio and Motionflow 240Hz technology so that you could enjoy action scenes from movies or sports.
This is a cheaper 2009 model from Sony so you can buy Full HD 1080p resolution and 30,000:1 contrast and still be in your budget. It lacks the 120Hz refresh rate found on the higher-end models like Sony BRAVIA XBR KDL-32XBR9 model but you save around $200.With features like Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) for a good dynamic contrast and BRAVIA Engine 2 digital video processor this LCD TV could be for you.
The first in its series, this LCD TV it’s fit for a bedroom or an office. XBR-three letters, representing higher-end features and top-of-the-line picture quality are meant to blow you away.

Using a resolution of 1080p and a 40,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, this LCD TV excels on many levels but it isn’t what we were expecting from a Sony high-end model.
