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.
