Need help comparing Sony SXRD Model HDTVs?
Okay, I would really love some input from the experts on this one. I have the Sony KDS-R50XBR1 Rear Projection, I believe it was the very first SXRD that Sony made. To my knowledge, the models that followed were not XBR though, which I figured gave my model a little extra edge picture quality wise. Now that its been a few years I was considereing upgrading to the new KDS-55A3000 Model. I’m sure its not going to be a huge difference but I would still like to know what someone with experience with both models thinks. My TV has been ISF calibrated and has a great picture, I was just wondering how much I would gain by going for the newer model. I also remember that my tv was sold as a 1080p set but it actually cannot receive a 1080p signal, however it can display a 1080p signal. I was a little confused by that. But I realize i’d be getting the full 1080p with the newer set, but it may not really be worth if the picture quality isnt much different. Just kinda wanted some feedback.

Sony has dropped the SXRD rear projection TV line. They had technical problems that they could not solve. These problems lead to an eventual color halo in the center of the screen as the TV aged. Their web site today only advertises LCD, front projector, & OLED TVs. These problems have resulted in several class action lawsuits filed by SXRD owners against Sony. Here is one of the web sites for the class action lawsuit: http://www.sonysxrdtvclassaction.com/main/home.sfx
You can yahoo “SXRD class action lawsuit” yourself to see the extent of the problem. My feedback is stay away from a SXRD Sony rear projection TV!
