The Bottom Line 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. The Sony KDS-60A2020 is a holdover from last year, but it's still one of the better performing, more fully featured HDTVs available. Samsung's HL61A750 61-inch rear-projection HDTV delivers excellent overall picture quality, and, compared to flat-panel options, it's a real bargain. The SXRD-based Sony KDS-55A3000 exhibited excellent color accuracy and stellar performance in general, making it the year's best performer in the rear-projection HDTV category. CNET did not review the Sony KDS-50A2000, but we did review the larger version, the Sony KDS-60A2000.
