GADGET | The 60-inch Sony
KDS-R60XBR2 is one of the most loaded HDTVs we’ve ever reviewed. It 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; and even a spare lamp. However, it is breathtakingly expensive ($4,000-$6,000), has inaccurate primary colors and a disappointing VGA connection. | CNet.com
