I bought this as a replacement for a Sony 46XBR4 that I had for a little over a year before it was irrepairably damaged during a breakin. This was the TV that I wanted but couldn't afford at the time I bought my XBR4. I can't say enough great things about this TV. The picture is incredible. I can see a huge difference with the Tri-Luminous back lighting on this TV vs. the regular backlighting on the XBR4. The blacks are deeper and richer. The contrast is stunning. I have seen some plasma TVs and I think this TV performs as well as better than many of them. I also looked at some of the Samsung TVs on the market when I went to replace my XBR4. I was very attracted to the slim profile and decreased weight, but the deal-breaker for me were the glossy screens. All of their high-end LED backlit TVs had glossy screens. My living room gets a lot of ambient light and I could not afford to put a TV in there with a glossy screen. The XBR8 is perfect. There is little to no reflection off the screen, which allows me to see a clearer more accurate picture. My only complaint with the XBR8 is that the Motionflow technology occasionally introduces artifacts. I keep it turned off to avoid any artifacts, and to be honest, I really don't see a big difference between when it is on or off. Navigation through the menus are easy. I appreciate the USB port on the side. It's great having friends over and being able to show vacation pictures like a slide show on the TV. Blu-Ray movies look incredible on this TV and the sound is pretty good too. I have read some places where people complained that the speakers on the side looked like "elephant ears". Personally, I think it looks classy. My advice to you is if you have the resources, especially now that the price has come down, buy this TV, you won't be disappointed.Get more detail about Sony Bravia XBR KDL-46XBR8 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz Triluminos LED LCD HDTV.
