Sony KDL-46EX620 Review - Page 2

Value Rating: 7.5/10

The Sony KDL-46EX620 is a mid range Sony offering for 2011. At around $1199 we believe this TV will come down in price slightly through the year. It delivers a few extra features over the econo-models such as thin depth, a complete Internet suite, 120Hz, good black levels, and great design and appearance. It has its negatives as well as discussed above. Competition is from Samsung with the UN46D6300.

Overall Rating: 7.2/10

Following are our recommended picture settings for the Sony EX620 series LED-LCD TV. For more brighly lit rooms we recommend you use the Standard picture mode setting, however turn the Sharpness setting down to 20. With this setting the Cinemotion feature will automatically be set to the On position so you will have to turn if off manually.

Processor Testing: The EX620 scored average to poor results with with Standard Definition testing and Average results with HD Test signals. This testing always shows up in programming in one way or another as our processor testing reflects how well the picture processes out motion artifacts, jaggies, false contouring, moire' patterns and the like. We give this TV a 5/10 rating in processor testing.
