CNET editors' take

Quick take: While we did not review the Sony KDS-R70XBR2, we did review the smaller, 60-inch version, model KDS-R60XBR2. The two are identical except for screen size and the fact that the speakers on the 70-inch model can be removed. We expect the performance of this 70-inch KDS-R70XBR2 to be very similar to that of the smaller model. For more information, please refer to the full review of the Sony KDS-R60XBR2.
