This model is the 55'' version of the 46'' TV that we tested in our labs, the Sony Bravia KDL-46X4500. Everything we said in the original article holds true--the only thing that's different is the size!

The components, both physical and electronic, are all identical to those found in the model we tested. The only factor which could be prone to slight variation is the brightness, producing slightly different contrast. According to our own tests, and assurances from manufacturers, the results of one TV can accurately be applied to others in the range.

Just about all of Sony's recent innovations come together in this one TV. The only thing that's missing is a 200 Hz version of the Motion Flow system, which is not really a huge fault.
