The Bottom Line	CNET did not review the Sony KDS-50A2000, but we did review the larger version, the Sony KDS-60A2000.	Although more costly than its DLP competition, the excellent picture quality of Sony's KDS-60A2000 will be worth the difference to most viewers.	CNET did not review the Sony KDS-55A2000, but we did review the larger version, the Sony KDS-60A2000.	While the Sony KDS-R60XBR2 has a picture that's essentially identical to its less-expensive SXRD stablemate, the prodigious feature set on this 60-inch HDTV will attract buyers who must have it all.	This television is identical to the 60-inch Sony KDS-60A2020 save for screen size, and it should perform the same way. Please see the full KDS-60A2020 review for details.
