picture and we want to get the most from our t.v. Currently we have a Panasonic DVD/VCR player. What do we need to buy to be able to watch movies in High Definition. Is that what Blue Ray is? I have seen those blue ray dvd’s but I didn’t know what they were. Anyway, as you can see I am clueless about this so any info you could provide is appreciated.

Sony 46″ Bravia HD TV – KDL46XBR3

I was wondering what the dimensions of the box were. If I can fit this in my car or not?

Connecting my surround sound (sony bravia hdx265) to my Samsung 46″ lcd hdtv?
Trying to hook up all the following Components if possible:

Samsung 46″ lcd hdtv (LN-T4661F)

Sony Bravia Surround Sound (HDX265)

Playstation 3

I would appreciate all suggestions. Thank you.

The TV was sold as having a screen refresh rate of 120Hz. There is nothing on the shipping box, TV or in the manual that identifies the TV as has a screen refresh rate of 120Hz. The TV was purchased through Dell. Several days have passed and they have not responded to my question. The TV was assembled in October of 2009.

The Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 46″ 1080p LCD HDTV is an elegant looking set with its piano black frame. The black finish is reflective, but not annoyingly shiny like a mirror as long as you don’t put it directly in front of a light source. It’s a serious looking LCD HDTV with its black finish and anti-glare screen. Not only does it look nice aesthetically, but it looks awesome where it counts the most, the picture.

The picture, like the Sony Bravia V2500 models, looks amazing. No annoying glares will ruin your viewing experience and the fogging that hit some of the owners with the V2500 model is gone. If there are any, you must be unlucky. The Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 1080p LCD HDTV has a 60 Hz refresh rate while the higher end models have 120 Hz so the motion blurring will not be as smooth as the more expensive sets. That doesn’t mean it’s blurry though. It’s still pretty smooth during fast action sequences and you probably won’t be able to tell anyway when playing HD content.

The Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 1080p LCD HDTV up-scales 480i standard definition content with its Reality Creation Multi Function v1. 0 technology and you can see that it truly helps make SD stuff less horrible than it otherwise should be. This basically means watching standard programming is good, but not at the level you’re used to when watching with a CRT, but also not as bad as many other LCD TVs.

The black and the contrast is good unlike what has been expected of LCDs. The colors are rich and the picture comes to life more so than other LCD HDTVs. Side by side with the Samsung or Sharp, the Sony looked better. In fact it can even compete with some of the plasma TVs out there. Just switch to normal mode and not use vivid mode and make some tweaks from there to your liking and the image will be near perfect. Try sharpening the image and increasing the black.

Configuring the settings in the Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 1080p LCD HDTV is a breeze with the highly regarded XMB menu system that’s also in the PS3. Speaking of the PS3, watching blu-ray on the KDL-46V3000 is simply stunning. If you don’t have a PS3 or a Blu-Ray player, you need to get one if you’re getting an HDTV. HD-DVD is dead.

The Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 1080p LCD HDTV does not have PIP or picture in picture, but it does have P&P or picture & picture. You can play video from two input sources at the same time, but only from HDMI, TV tuner, and video on the left side of the TV and component on the right. That means no watching HDMI & HDMI at the same time. It’s not a deal breaker since the picture quality is way up there.

Sound quality is good should you choose not to invest in a home theater surround sound system, but it does lack some oomph in the bass department. It’s much better than many LCD panels out there considering how small the piano black frame is.

I recommend the Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 1080p LCD HDTV if you don’t want to spend a few extra Ben Franklins on the XBR4 and you don’t want the older, but still excellent KDL-46V2500. You can’t go wrong with this choice and it’s one of the best bangs for the buck.

hi, i’ve narrowed my tv search to these two. but i don’t know whats more important? the larger tv or the better refresh rate? first is a –>Sony – BRAVIA / 46″ Class / 1080p / 60Hz / LCD HDTV
next is a Sony – BRAVIA / 40″ Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LCD HDTV.

So it comes down to either a 46 inch tv (with a 60hz) or a 40 inch (with a 120hz) or a 120hz (thats a 40 inch) over a 60hz (46 inch)

what do you guys think

Live Color Creation Technology with WCG-CCFL Backlight Live Color Creation technology works with the BRAVIA XBR9-Series’ WCG-CCFL (Wide Color Gamut–Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlight to achieve wider color reproduction for more natural and vibrant colors. The technology combines advanced chroma signal processing with enhanced filters and purer light to reproduce 105 percent of the NTSC (National Television System Committee) color standard. This means deeper reds and greens with overall color that’s truer and more life-like. HD input x 7 Get versatile HD connection options with seven HD inputs. Four HDMI inputs (up to 1080/60p capable) let you connect a Sony PLAYSTATION 3 entertainment system, Blu-ray Disc player, or any other HDMI-capable equipment and get uncompressed digital video and multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. An HD component input and an HD combo input (1080/60i capable) provide added HD-capable connectivity, and a PC input (HD-15 pin) offers the added versatility of using your HDTV as a computer monitor. What Size HDTV is right for my room? With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1. 5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1. 5 Sony Bravia 32″ HDTV Perfect for your bedroom, office or kitchen, the Sony Bravia 32″ LCD HDTV has a 40,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio which produces deep blacks in darker scenes. Motionflow 120Hz refresh rate technology delivers crisp, clear images while gaming or watching sports and fast-action movies. Additionally, you can connect your camera or USB-enabled MP3 player and view photos or listen to your favorite MP3s. Learn More About the Sony Bravia 32″ HDTV Here!
