CNET Editors' take - Sony KDS-60A3000
Hide

Reviewed by CNET staff
Review date: 12/3/07

Although CNET did not review the 60-inch Sony KDS-60A3000, we did review the 55-inch Sony KDS-55A3000. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Sony rear-projection HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 55-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 60-incher will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Sony KDS-55A3000.

Product brief - Sony KDS-60A3000
Hide

Description: The Sony KDS-60A3000 is a 60-inch, rear-projection rear-projection TV. Compared to other rear-projection TVs on the market, it is midpriced at around $2,130.

Pros: With built-in HDTV compatibility, this unit can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition. (It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: Made for those who want as large a screen as possible. In general, a wide aspect TV such as this one is ideal for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.

Value: In general, this TV's features are in line with its price.

Suggestions: (1) For assistance in shopping for a new HDTV, read CNET editors' <ref type="link" url="http://cnet.com/hdtv-world/?tag=arw">Ultimate HDTV Buying Guide. </ref> (2) If donating or repurposing your old TV is not a viable option, CNET encourages households to recycle their electronics.
