Comments about Sony KDL-52XBR4 52" 16:9 BRAVIA XBR LCD 1080p:
Very pleased with the ease of use and the quality of HD on this TV. Some channels are just unbelievable.
Disappointed that the Caption part does not work on the TV when you use Comcast tuner. You have to use captions through the tuner and then they are on all of the time. Wish Sony could fix that.

Comments about Sony KDL-52XBR4 52" 16:9 BRAVIA XBR LCD 1080p:
I purchased the Sony KDL-52XBR4 approximately one month ago. It is a phenomenal set and I highly recommend it. The TV is connected to a DirectTV HD satellite receiver as well as a Sony Blu Ray DVD player. The picture is clear and crisp with an HD source. I watched the Masters and it was better than being there. The HD picture is so sharp that you can see the slope, contours and grain of the putting green. Watching a Blu Ray DVD is equally satisfying and better than going to the theater. I have it connected to an Onkyo TX875 AV receiver, a Sony Blu Ray player and KEF speakers.[...] One final recommnedation is to buy as big a screen as you can afford. Size matters!
