What is the definition of XBR? no Can anyone explain, thanks. I work at sears and no one here knows.
This page turned into an ad for Sony TVs. I removed all of that. Almabes 15:53, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
I would argue that Sony has been quite notable with their XBR series of products, pushing technology forward, as such, it still remains notable, but I would like more information on its history if anyone has it. This is the first place I've heard that XBR is an acronym for eXtended Bit Rate, and I don't think that the bit rate is actually any higher on these units. I've heard many suggest it means Xtra Bucks Required.-- Schalliol 19:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
First place I've seen where XBR was defined this way. XBR has been around since the mid 80's for analog sets. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.77.1.118 ( talk) 01:17, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Considering that XBR televisions first appears circa 1986 ( I bought my KLV20XBRII, second edition... in 1987) I strongly doubt that the XBR name refers to Xtended Bit Rate. Back then, the digital bite rate wasn't a factor and much less a selling point for analog television. Please elaborate on this.
I purchased my XBR4 from Circuit City and at the time "XBR" was being advertised as "X-Brite" for their new back light fluorescent tube lighting and how bright it made the picture. I also believe it was due to the number of fluorescent tubes that were used compared to other LCD TVs at the time. Hope this helps! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.167.111.66 ( talk) 17:57, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
