5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful Picture, December 21, 2009
This review is from: Sony BRAVIA XBR Series KDL-52XBR10 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV (Electronics)
I've had the set for 30 days now. I had some early concerns on the whole Edge-Lighting thing but they turned out to be frivolous. The picture has been outstanding. Played Dark Knight and Underworld, and the set handled the contrasts and deep blacks superbly.
The thin design is a work of art. My set sits on a console (not mounted) and sets the room off nicely; no visible wires and elegant design.
The streaming functions are a nice feature; good integration with Amazon and Netflix. However, I'm pouzzled as to why there doesn't appear to be a way to access free internet content via portals like Hulu, TV network sites and such, without a laptop. (Or I haven't figured it out yet.)
One mild annoyance that has more to do with Sony than the XBR10: No wireless internet dongle available from Sony. The Samsung version only works with Samsung products. So if you don't have a Ethernet port nearby, you'll need a wireless bridge to use a wireless home network.

Best TV in the world, February 24, 2010
This review is from: Sony BRAVIA XBR Series KDL-52XBR10 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV (Electronics)
I've had my KDL52-XBR10 since mid-December. WOW! Beautiful design. The picture quality is mind-blowing. Watching the Winter Olympics in HD is amazing, you can see every hair in detail. The colors are spectacular and the blacks are DEEP. 240 Hz Motion Flow makes everything smooth. The picture is spectacular right out of the box, but you also have complete control over picture (and sound). Settings, inputs, Internet, and other options are accessible via the well-thought out on-screen Xcross Media Bar. To access the Internet or your home network directly from the XBR10, you'll either need a hard-wired Ethernet connection between the XBR10's media box and your router, or a wireless bridge (e.g. Linksys WET610N) connected to the media box to access your wireless router (e.g. Linksys WRT610N). I chose the wireless option and it works flawlessly.

XBR10 : Window on the world!, April 27, 2010
This review is from: Sony BRAVIA XBR Series KDL-52XBR10 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV (Electronics)
Owning this set since December, and after viewing many series like the Tudor or Rome, plus many Criterion and BBC Opus Arte Blu-Rays, having also this set hooked to a PS3 to enjoy 1080p racing games like Gran Turismo, there is only one expression to summarize the viewing experience : a window on the world! The latest shock : Avatar!
Previously ownner of a XBR 800 CRT 34 incher, jumping to 52 inches was an incredible experience. But please don't sit too far! Consider that this size is now a new way to look at programs. 1080p can be easily viewed across a TV table, between the couch and the TV furniture.
You can put it on your best table or buffet, as a work of art : no cumbersome wires running into it, since the receiver is in a separate box.
Of course, you pay more, but you get much more, very much more.
