Common Pros in Sony KDL52XBR10 review reports:

Picture Quality – The Bravia 52XBR10 and 46XBR10 have some of the best visual quality and performance seen on an edge-lit LED HDTV. New Bravia engine along with awesome technologies and filters and 240Hz motion handling allow the Bravia KDL52XBR10 LED LCD to have some of the best overall picture factors around. True deep blacks, vibrant realistic colors and smooth uninterrupted motion handling are major strong points of the KDLXBR10 series units.
Wireless / Streaming – The remote wireless receiver and tuner sit separate of the unit, and do an amazing job of transporting the 1080p content while remaining an awesome picture without interruptions or performance hiccups.
Internet Video / Features – New internet features such as streaming video content from the web, and a customizable array of ‘widgets’ allow for seamless access to all sorts of content and web information and multimedia… making the KDL-XBR10 much more than just a playback device.
Design / Aesthetics – The appearance, styling and aesthetics of the KDL-52XBR10 LED HDTV and KDL-46XBR10 LED HDTV models are next to none. The wireless receiver and transmission allows for insane levels of thin and sleekness, while high end Sony styling make it a pleasure to look at.

Noted Cons in Sony KDL-52XBR10 review comments:

Price – The Bravia XBR10’s performance and feature set don’t come cheap, and many find the pricing on the large 46-inch and 55-inch available models to be over their capable budgets
Limited Size options – Lacking a smaller size, the XBR10’s 46″ KDL46XBR10 and 52″ KDL52XBR10 leaves a couple of common sizes to be desired, such as popular 40″ and 32″ versions found on other series like the XBR9
Edge-lit vs Local Dimming – While the visual quality is astounding on the KDLXBR10 series, many dislike the fact that it is an edge-lit model as opposed to the other popular option of local dimming. Light comes from the sides and allows for the thinness and slick design of the unit, although picture performance and quality would be better on a locally dimmed unit with similar specifications.
