6. Sony KDL-52XBR2 52" Bravia XBR 1080p LCD HDTV
Here is another top of the line product from Sony. It has full HD resolution(1080p) and competes with best of the best out there. If you're willing to spend money to get the top of the line product, this is a good choice.
- 7,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio
- 16:9 1080p HD Resolution Panel (1920 x 1080)
- Integrated HDTV tuner. BRAVIA™ XBR® televisions can receive free, overthe-air HD broadcasts, as well as unscrambled digital cable (QAM) tuning
- Light sensor. Intelligently adjusts the screen brightness to match the ambient light in a room, for much more comfortable viewing. For example, in a dim room the screen automatically reduces brightness
- SRS® TruSurround® XT audio. DVD and HDTV broadcasts include rich surround sound information, the effect of which can be lost without a full 5.1-channel speaker system
- Plasma flat panels and conventional LCDs typically fall well short of the ideal viewing angle approaching 180 degrees. In contrast, Sony's 7th Generation panel has an internal Liquid Crystal structure that increases viewing angle to a phenomenal 178 degrees, so the picture remains vibrant when view ed from almost anywhere in the room
- Sony's fast, 8-millisecond switching speed keeps up with the world's most demanding video content
- In the Full HD 1080 picture, the over 2 million pixels are all comprised of three sub-pixels, each filtered for Red, Green or Blue. An LCD television's gamut or range of reproduced colors is ultimately determined by the colorimetry of these filters. That's why Sony carefully matched the color filters in front of the LCD to the potential of the Wide Color Gamut CCFL behind the LCD. The result is the intense, vivid, true-to-life color that sets BRAVIA television apart
