The Bottom Line	CNET did not review the Sony KDS-60A3000, but we did review a smaller 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.	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 Mitsubishi WD-65735 offers plenty of screen for the buck, compact styling, and numerous connections, but its picture quality doesn't match that of the competition.	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.
