The Sony Bravia range has always been rated as one of the best LCD HDTV series in the market. The release of the Sony Bravia KDL-55XBR8 HDTV has once again proved that Sony is one of the forerunners in the LCD HDTV industry. It is in no way a perfect device, but it comes pretty close to being one.
The XBR8 is a 55-inch LCD HDTV has vertically aligned speakers that look as if they are suspended in mid air thanks to the transparent panels in between the speakers and the screen. The main reason that the Sony Bravia KDL-55XBR8 LCD HDTV received so many raving reviews is its quality of its video playbacks. This HDTV model produces one of the deepest black levels we have ever seen on a LCD TV. Its black levels are comparable to those found on plasma TVs. It has highly accurate color, great interface and impressive connectivity (with four HDMI, PC AV input and many more).
One the flip side, some of its flaws includes its highly inflated price tag. Although it has a pretty wide viewing angle, the image quality reduces when viewed away from the center. Despite its excellent image quality, the huge price tag may prevent the Sony Bravia KDL-55XBR8 LCD HDTV from being very popular in the market. It currently costs almost twice as much as other competing models. Even though I am very impressed with its performance, I am not quite sure if it warrants its hefty price. If money if of no object, you should get one of these by all means!
