Here are the Top sony bravia kdl-46xbr9 LCD TVs
Unfortunately, like the Z4100 or the KDL-46W4100 we tested earlier, the XBR6 didn’t maintain a constant level of black regardless of the brightness of the program material. The fluctuation in backlight intensity wasn’t as noticeable as with the W4100–indeed, we didn’t notice it at all during The Happening–but in certain scenes in other films we did see the XBR6’s backlit dim and then brighten noticeably afterward. Our favorite test for this issue occurs at the 12:34 mark in I Am Legend, where the camera pushes into the dark bathroom. On both of the Sony sets, the entire screen became dimmer and when brighter, whereas the other displays maintained a constant level of black. Color accuracy: The Sony performed well in this area, but still not as good as the Samsung A650 or the higher-end displays in our comparison. According to our measurements, the Sony XBR6 delivered very accurate color for the most part, coming extremely close to the D65 standard for grayscale, hitting the sony bravia kdl-40xbr9 standard primary and secondary color points almost perfectly and exhibiting accurate color decoding. That’s great, and in many colorful areas, the XBR6 delivered the goods, including the blues of Jess’ jeans and the red blood dripping down Mrs. Jones’ nose. The Sony’s deep blacks also helped with saturation, making colors look a bit richer and more vibrant than on the displays with lighter black levels. However, all wasn’t perfect.
