CNET editors' take

Quick Take: While we did not review the Sony KDS-50A2000, we did review the larger, 60-inch version, model KDS-60A2000. The two are identical except for screen size, and the performance of this 50-inch KDS-50A2000 should be very similar to that of the larger model. For more information, please refer to the full review of the Sony KDS-60A2000.
