    CNET Review

    The Good: Produces deep blacks with excellent shadow detail; resolves every line of 1080-resolution sources; incredible amounts of picture control; excellent connectivity with three 1080p-compatible HDMI inputs, dedicated PC input; includes spare lamp.

    The Bad: Expensive; inaccurate primary colors; disappointing VGA connection.

    The Bottom Line: While the Sony KDS-R60XBR2 has a picture that's essentially identical to its less-expensive SXRD stablemate, the prodigious feature set on this 60-inch HDTV will attract buyers who must have it all.
