So much is changing with today's TVs
? shape, size, display technology ? that it's nice you can still count on
some things, like Sony's "XBR" badge. The BRAVIA XBR line represents
Sony's finest LCD TVs ever, with picture quality that's simply stunning.
The features and performance of the 46" KDL-46XBR3 are identical to the
KDL-46XBR2 ? the only difference is the XBR3's gloss-black cabinet, which
looks extra stylish encased in Sony's clear "floating glass" case.
The big performance story for the KDL-46XBR3 is "Full HD 1080" screen resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels). It provides about twice as many pixels as you get with typical 40" LCDs. That higher resolution gives images lifelike clarity, detail, and texture ? it's like looking through a window. Colors look strikingly natural, too, thanks to Sony's "wide color gamut" backlight, which reproduces a much wider range of colors. You'll want to feed this thoroughbred as much high-quality material as possible, like DVD movies and HDTV programs. But realistically, you'll probably still be watching some regular (non-HD) programs for a while yet. That's when you'll really appreciate the KDL-46XBR3's advanced video processing. The latest version of Sony's DRC (Digital Reality Creation?) circuitry has twice the processing power of earlier versions. Until now, DRC could only process interlaced video signals, but this version can upconvert both interlaced and progressive video, giving images a smoother, more solid look. Native 1080p signals (like those from Sony's Blu-ray Disc player) are displayed directly, without any processing. The future-ready set of audio/video connections is heavy on HD-compatible connections, including two component video and three digital HDMI for your most advanced video gear. The natural ruggedness of LCD panels helps the KDL-46XBR3 excel as a total entertainment display. Connect your PC and/or video game console and work or play for hours if you like ? LCDs are immune to screen burn-in.
