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. While not perfect, the KDS-55A3000 is the most [...]
Sony KDL-46S3000 LCD HDTV Review
Saturday, October 27th, 2007Sony’s 2007 line of Bravia-branded LCD HDTVs includes numerous new models, but the least expensive, and therefore most likely candidate for most popular, is the KDL-S3000 series. The 46-inch KDL-46S3000 represents the largest of the series, and is priced higher than many like-size budget flat-panel TVs but lower than most 1080p models. Nonetheless the S3000 [...]
Sony KDL-52XBR2 LCD TV Review
Saturday, April 7th, 2007LCD has come a long way, but judging from the best LCDs we’ve tested, which currently belong to the KDL-XBR2 series from Sony, those liquid crystals still have some catching up to do. The 52-inch KDL-52XBR2 offers the same characteristics that we liked about its smaller brethren–the KDL-40XBR2 and the KDL-46XBR2–to a larger screen size, [...]
Sony KDS-60A2020 HDTV Review
Monday, March 19th, 2007Last year, Sony sold the KDS-60A2000 for $3,699. This year, the exact same television, the KDS-60A2020, will sell for $800 less. The only difference between the two is color–and yes, we do prefer the new black exterior to last year’s silver. Perhaps Sony was motivated to cut the price to compete with large-screen plasmas, such [...]
Sony KDS-R60XBR2 Review
Monday, November 13th, 2006The pricier but feature-packed KDS-R60XBR2, Sony’s successor to the KDS-60A2000, has some big shoes to fill as the company’s flagship rear-projection HDTV for 2006. This 60-inch big screen costs substantially more than its non-XBR brother, yet a thorough read of the spec sheet reveals very few differences. The televisions share the same SXRD light engine, [...]
