Sony KDS-55A3000 Review
Sunday, December 2nd, 2007Sony has a real winner with the new KDS-A3000 series, represented here by the 55-inch KDS-55A3000, the middle of three sizes. We liked Sony’s LCoS-based SXRD technology when it was first introduced a couple of years ago, and the company has followed up by significantly improving performance.

Maxent MX-5020HPM Review
Monday, November 20th, 2006Flat-panel HDTVs grow less expensive all the time, and Maxent is one of the big names in no-name panels. One of the company’s 2005 50-inch plasmas, the MX-50X3, performed relatively well in our tests, and we expected similar results from the 2006 50-inch plasma monitor reviewed here, model MX-5020HPM. Unfortunately, the new model had more [...]
