Wow, talk about over priced.

It's HD, mixed with that DNA thing we've all heard about. So the price must be worth it!

Yea, but does it has RCA inputs for my VCR? I've got a stereo, yes stereo VCR and need high quality RCA jacks, or the deal is off,

They are phasing out XBR4 and XBR5 to introduce or make room for XBR7 and TRILUMINOS three-color LED XBR8.

Sony ditched Samsung (S-LCD corporation joint venture of Sony and Samsung) for Sharp to get cheaper LCD panels . But whatever the video and audio processing circuits of Sony are unmatched.

got mine last year for around $1400-1500.....
why is the price up again for these?
it's worth it for around $1500, but not for 2G
the Aquos has defects in their 46 and 52 inch and Samsung's aren't quite at he quality of Sony yet.
Don't even mention Vizio, Westinghouse, etc.

However, Panny is pretty good.

#5: exchange rates, thanx to GW D!ckless

Nice TV~
Sony > samsung anyday!

Sony does one thing right, overcharge for their products and make you think the quality is better because of the price. It's the same as all the tree huggers who go to overpriced sandwich and soft taco shops thinking it's gotta be healthier and better tasting becaue of the price.

If you like being shat on for a high price I will be happy to do it for half this cost. Corn included!

#8, The Sceptre or Vizio you have is the best TV in the world. Now will you please STFU.

Hey #9 I see you are a fanboy of Sony and Richard Simmons. Nuff said.

I think sony stuff is over priced but the quality is there.

indeed sony is overpriced. but then, u r paying for the badge and the quality.

hyundai is cheap and well equipped, who knows how long it will last (great initial value - sammy & lg)
toyota is more expensive even without the options in the hyundai, but u know it's build to last at least 10 yrs (sony & pioneer)

#5 where did you purchase your 46XBR4 for 1.5k?

#12:

I price-matched it at Sears as J&R had it on sale for about $1500-1600. Sears price-matched it and gave the difference. Whole deal cost me around $1500. Good deal if you can catch them at the right time. Good luck. Looking at a Panny-plasma for my 2nd TV in the upstairs bedroom right now.

For idiots that think Vizio/Sceptre/Olivia/Westinghouse is in the same class as Sony, dream on. While it may be true that Sony overcharges for their product, like someone mentioned above, you're also buying their quality. There is no comparison when those 2nd tier tv is placed next to Sony/Sharp/Samsung.

You get what you pay for!

I'm waiting for 1st gen laser tv's.
Fuck LCD and Plasma.
I saw a preview of the laser sets and my jaw dropped, beautiful and simply amazing quality.

If you have ever compared TVs side by side, then the Sony, though more expensive always wins for image quality, crispness without jagged lines, viewing angle, contrast ratio, etc. Usually you can spot the sony from accross the electronics section because of the very apparent stebaconp in image quality.

I got a 52" XBR4 for $2300 from Best Buy in February or March. $2K for this is waaay too much.

That being said, I did all the research and Sony does have the best quality for the buck. Consumer Reports agrees as it ranked the 46" XBR4 as the best flat panel on the market.

#13, #16, You are not talking about the 1080P BRAVIA Models, are you ?
I thought the XBRs were never priced this low before...but I could be wrong.

I haven't been there since mid-July, but the Sony outlet stores had refurbs of this tv for a hell of a lot less than $2k (I can't remember for sure what the 46" was selling for, but the 40" XBR was $1200 with free interest/no payments for 1-year). Sure they're not new, and only have 90-day warranties, but my 32" refurb XBR that I bought from there still looks like new after several months and was $525 out-the-door. Worth the gamble, IMHO. I've purchased other items from Sony outlet in the past and never had any problems.

#17, I meant to say $2700.

And I was talking about the 52" XBR4. It was $4000, they had it $1000 off since it was the end of the XBR4's "life cycle" and there was a 10% off coupon. $3000 - $300 (10%) = $2700.

I've also seen the 52" recently on sears.com for $2500.
