The Bottom Line	CNET did not review the Sony KDS-50A3000, but we did review a larger model in the series.	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-60A3000, but we did review a smaller model in the series.	Although more costly than its DLP competition, the excellent picture quality of Sony's KDS-60A2000 will be worth the difference to most viewers.	The high-end Panasonic TC-PV10 series of plasmas delivers the overall best picture quality of any flat-panel HDTV we've tested so far this year.
