Top-Notch Video Performance
The XBR KDL-52XBR4 is a 1080p television with a full 1920 x 1080 resolution, the highest resolution available for the sharpest, clearest picture. The KDL-52XBR uses the most recent HDMI 1.3 interface, which houses both audio and video signals in one connector and has the bandwidth to support the data needed for the high resolution. Sony’s Bravia Engine Pro Full Digital Video Processor upconverts all video signals to 1080p so you can watch all your old DVDs on this glorious display.
Sony complements the high resolution with the latest technology in color reproduction. The KDL-52XBR is a 10-bit display with 10-bit processing. Most panels are only 8-bit. The added bit depth here means a larger color palette for more faithful color reproduction and smoother transitions from one color to the next. Additionally, the display also supports the new x.v.Color standard, which dramatically increases the available color space. The end result is a picture that is so detailed, colorful, and vibrant, you’d have a hard time distinguishing it from real life.
The KDL-52XBR4 features Sony’s Motionflow technology, which automatically adjusts for and applies the proper processing for optimal motion reproduction depending on the video input. This includes support for 24 frames per second (24p) video, which displays video content at the 24-frames-per-second rate at which it was originally filmed or recorded. With 24p, you get the most faithful possible reproduction of the original.
A Wide Variety of Inputs
This Sony television’s wide variety of inputs ensures compatibility with your other home theater components. There are three HDMI connections for Blu-Ray, HD DVD, and other technologies requiring the high bandwidth, and two component video inputs, three composite video inputs, one S-Video input, one PC Audio and Video input, and five analog audio inputs. Even with a collection of legacy components, you shouldn’t have a problem connecting to the KDL-52XBR4.
Stunning Looks
The KDL-52XBR4 not only displays stunning video but is itself a head-turner. It features Sony’s unique floating glass frame along with a black bezel that can be interchanged with optional color bezels to match the display to your decor.
Outstanding Ergonomics and Simplicity of Control
Sony’s Xross Media Bar interface is an award-winning, intuitive on-screen display that makes setup a breeze, with menus and controls logically laid out for quick access. The KDL-52XBR4 also features Theatre Sync technology, based on the HDMI-CEC standard, which means you can easily connect to and control compatible devices. For example, when the KDL-52XBR4 is connected to a compatible DVD player, you can turn on both the DVD player and the television and start playing a DVD with a single push of a button on the remote. When you’re done, another push of a button powers everything down. With Theatre Sync, you can spend time enjoying the movie rather than waste time setting everything up.
More Than Just a Television
Because more and more people expect to view photos on their HDTVs, Sony developed a Photo TV HD mode that optimally sets the sharpness, gradation, and color to make digital photos look like printed photography.
The KDL-52XBR4 is backed by a 1-year limited warranty for parts and labor.

Customer Review: Excellent ‘No Glare’ in Window Filled Room
This TV is now over a year old and we love it as much as the day we pulled it out of the box. We had tried a 58″ Samsung plazma that was beautiful, but our bank of west facing windows in bright 300+ Colorado sunny days simply did not agree with the mirror like reflective glass of plazma. I really wanted that 58″ to work and have been accused of being a Sony guy opposed to a ‘Sammy ?’ guy. I didn’t know there were those kind of people out there. This 52″ Sony handles the sunny bright Colorado bank of windows incredibly well ‘with absolutely no glare’…ever. Full curtains drawn or not. I would have never believed it! While I wouldn’t think twice about a plazma for a ‘darker’ room with low light and no glare, to get those super deep blacks, this TV is breath taking, and grabs our attention with it’s outstanding HD pictures. And no, I’m not a Sony guy opposed to a “Sammy” guy, whatever that is supposed to mean.
Customer Review: After 9 months the blacks have sever bleeding. Artifacting. Sony does nothing for warranty.
I’ve owned this 52 inch LCD tv Since May 2008 from an authorized Sony dealer. Its initial quality was nothing less than spectacular. Deep blacks. No bleeding. Exceptional clarity. Breathtaking colors. It was registered for warranty the same day online with Sony’s website.
Over the last three weeks, I noticed SEVERE bleeding of the blacks during any tv or movie and when it’s a blank screen. I’ve seen an odd double blur around actors and objects (artifacting?). It does Not leave a trail like ghosting. I’ve tried switching all of my video/audio equipment without success.
I called Sony to come out to repair. They blew me off for three weeks. After getting tired of my 3 times a day calling, they sent a guy out. He said YES my problems were legitimate… BUT IT’S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY! I am extremely upset at Sony and their business practice. A friend of mine has the 42″ version and is beginning to show the same faults. He bought a third party warranty and got his tv repaired. Is this the beginning of SONY’s fall from grace? Check their tanking stock price and see how much money they lost for fiscal year 2008.
Surgery provides modest benefit over non-surgical treatment for patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (PhysOrg)
(PhysOrg.com) — While surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome in patients without an indication of severe nerve damage (denervation) provides better outcomes than non-surgical treatment, the clinical relevance of this difference is modest. The findings of this comparative effectiveness research are reported in this week’s Surgery Special Issue of The Lancet, written by Dr. Jeffrey Jarvik, professor …
Does Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy prevent gastric cancer? (PhysOrg)
Although it has been demonstrated that Helicobacter pylori causes gastric cancer, it is still controversial that whether H. pylori eradication therapy is effective in primary prevention of gastric cancer. This is especially important for Yamagata Prefecture, a region of Japan with the second highest incidence of gastric cancer in the world.
