 Recommend highly January 9, 2009
The Sony XBR6 has dazzled my husband and I with the color and clarity of its picture. Sports has always been amazing on an HD TV, but watching Desperate Housewives for the first time on this set was unbelievable. My husband and I both thought the characters looked so real. It felt like watching live theater. Also, we have no glare with on this set. That had always been a problem with our Sony Vega.
This Tv is worth every dollar!!!
A fine first step into HD January 8, 2009
Hey Gang,
The 40" XBR6 television is fantastic. I can't recommend it highly enough. After two weeks of ownership I can say with confidence that this was a great purchase. As a Sony buff I like the set's full integration with my laptop and camera. The deal now running on Amazon to throw in a matching Blu-Ray player is a steal.
I did a tremendous amount of research on Sony's HDTV product line and the price on this near high-end set caused me to bite. Moving up from vhs+dvd on a 20" WEGA tube set has been a revelation.
There are some hyper-critics out there who can find minor faults with this product but I'm not one of 'em. Blacks are deep and colors are vibrant. Sports are eye-popping. Even without cable or satellite service my programming is HD and amazing quality. Ditch cable and watch PBS in HD!
If you table mount this television I do recommend purchasing two accessories direct from sony: the support belt kit and the anchor bolt. Proper use of these prevent accidental tipping of the tall, top heavy set. Order these items via telephone in the US 800 488 7669, they cost under 11 bucks delivered, a tiny investment compared to the cost of the set.
By the way, a Blu-Ray player such as the s550 is essential pairing. Not only does Netflix now offer Blu-Ray selections, wow, but the player upscales DVD to the screen's native resolution to splendid effect.
Keep up the good work Sony!
Great set for my smaller rec room January 8, 2009
Set is extremely good and the whole amazon delivery was great. I am a veiwer not a techy type.
Amazon is Amazing!!! January 7, 2009
I had been looking to buy the Sony Bravia XBR KDL40XBR6 online for some time and Amazon had the right price and great customer service. They were very helpful with my questions and the delivery service was great. The TV is also that I expected from Sony(Great!).
VERY PLEASED... January 7, 2009

I'll be brief here because a lot of reviewers have spoken the truth here upon which I purchased this product. The true test, in my view, is connecting it to my computers' HDMI outlets. The picture quality is just awesome. I also hooked up the Blue-Ray DVD player that I received with this purchase and again, the picture quality is awesome. The sound is also very crisp and I may connect this HDTV to my home stereo later. I replaced this from a Regza Toshiba 32" monitor (which has a combo DVD player). At about 8-9 feet from this monitor, the 40" is ideal for me and a 46" would have been an overkill. 4 HDMI ports is a definite plus, especially for gaming.
PIP: The PIP and P & P functions require a cable connection.
THE DELIVERY: AMAZON.COM'S DELIVERY WAS FIVE STARS AS WELL. SHIPMENT WAS VERY QUICK, THE DELIVERY GENTLEMAN WAS EXCELLENT AND MADE SURE THAT THE ITEM WORKED PROPERLY BEFORE HE LEFT. HE ALSO HELPED TO UNPLUG MY OLDER MONITOR. FIVE STARS OUT OF FIVE THERE AS WELL.
IN SUMMATION, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AMAZON.COM. I ALSO BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM AMAZON.COM.
