| The Bottom Line | 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. | Samsung's HL61A750 61-inch rear-projection HDTV delivers excellent overall picture quality, and, compared to flat-panel options, it's a real bargain. | 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-50A3000, but we did review a larger model in the series. |
