CNET Editors' take - Sony KDS-R70XBR2
Hide

Reviewed by CNET staff
Review date: 11/14/06

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.

Product brief - Sony KDS-R70XBR2
Hide

Description: The Sony KDS-R70XBR2 is a 70-inch, rear-projection TV. Compared to other rear-projection TVs on the market, it is expensive at around $4,400.

Pros: Has a 70-inch screen size, which is somewhat larger than some similarly priced TVs. With HDTV compatibility, this product can display images that are sharper and more realistic than regular television when connected to a high definition signal.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: Built for those who want as large a screen as possible. Also, a wide aspect display such as this one is ideal for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming. Can connect to a computer via VGA (HD-15).

Value: In general, this TV's price seems hard to justify, with respect to its features. For example, when it comes to viewable screen size, the average price of rear-projection TVs with comparable viewable size is quite a bit less -- in fact around $2,970.

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.
