First Take
Common sights in the 1980s, rear-projection TVs are now becoming increasingly rare in our region. Blame it on Asians' fetish for sleek and pretty things. These bulky TVs are now facing an uphill task fending off the LCD and plasma invasion. This is despite ongoing efforts from backers overhauling these age-old giants with the latest visual technologies. These range from Texas Instrument's Digital Light Processing (DLP) to LCD and now Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS). Here, we take a closer look at the affordable KS-60R200A, Sony's latest SXRD-based offering, which has caught the eye of many of our readers. ...

Excellent picture quality for a 60" at an affordable price
May 12, 2008Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: HD Picture quality - as good as most HD LCD and Plasmas in the market
Cons: SD quality (well SD is going to be bad at 60"), bulky, bulb life and cost of replacement
Opinion:
I have had this TV for 6 months now. I am very happy with this TV most of the time - when I watch DVD movies. The picture is "life-size", contrast is impressive with excellent black levels (much better than most LCD TVs). Satellite TV at SD resolution is pretty poor (apart from resolution, you do see macro block errors as the TV upconverts the SD signal to the TV's native 1080p)
Great TV for the money!

Pros: HD picture quality, user interface, size for money.
Cons: SD picture quality, only 2 HDMI ports.
Opinion:
Picture quality for standard definition sources is so-so but high definition picture quality is great. For the price, this TV is a definite best buy.
