Editors' note: Since this review was first published, we've received reader complaints, both in the user opinions and in e-mails, regarding uneven backlighting in XBR2 and XBR series flat-panel LCDs from Sony's 2006 line.
Some people might agree with CNET editor Will Greenwald, who said the KDL-40XBR2 was "trying too hard," but there's no denying it offers a style that's altogether unique among flat-panel LCDs.
Chief among the KDL-40XBR2's features is its native resolution of 1080p.
We expected very good things from the Sony KDL-40XBR2's picture quality at this price point, and for the most part we were satisfied.
