CNET editors' rating:
3.5 stars
Very good
THE GOOD
Excellent overall color fidelity with superb color decoding and grayscale linearity, as well as best-in-class primary color accuracy; deep black levels with solid shadow detail; de-judder processing smooths out pans and camera movement; numerous picture controls; ample connectivity.
THE BAD
De-judder processing can seem unnatural; improper de-interlacing of 1080i film-based material; labyrinthine menu design.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The SXRD-based Sony KDS-55A3000 exhibited excellent color accuracy and stellar performance in general, making it the year's best performer in the rear-projection HDTV category.
