Review
after countless tryouts of various plasma and lcd tv’s i decided to spend the big bucks and purchase the 46″ xbr3.
i replaced a phiilips 34″ tube; its picture was really quite good on an analog signal, but with an hd signal the picture, tho better, didn’t knock my socks off.
after installing the xbr, i know see what all the fuss is about. to be honest with a regular analog signal my phillips picture was better…but with an hd signal the xbr brings tv watching to a new realm…it really is fantastic.
we’ve had the set for 3 wks now, and still love it…can’t wait to watch the nfl playoffs this weekend.
if you’re looking for a 46″ set, be sure to give this one a look. yes, it does cost a little more than some others…but in my humble opinion well worth it.
