Compare Prices : Sony KDS-70R2000

Review summary: If you're thinking a flat TV is the only way to go, think again. The experience of watching HD on the Sony KDS-70R2000 is akin to looking through a huge window at a life-sized real world on the other side. The levels of clarity on this TV make the ...

Pros: 70-inch screen size ; HD picture quality ; extensive connections ; price

Cons: Image loses brightness if viewed from above or below ; standard definition pictures lack sharpness ; it's a total 'room dominator

Verdict: If you fancy a projection-sized picture without having to put up with the installation hassles and dark room of a projector, this outstanding Sony rear projection TV is a stunning option. A timely and potent reminder that not all the best things in AV ...

Review summary: Rear projection is dead, apparently, murdered by its flat rivals LCD and plasma. But if this is really the case, then the 70R2000 is one hell of a zombie. For not only is Sony's latest TV resolutely rear-projecting, but it's also a massive 70-inch model

Pros: Awesome features and performance, Great prize for its size

Cons: So big it may need its own room

Verdict: It's enormous but delivers a performance every bit as big as its dimensions

Review summary: It's not often that we look at rear-projection TVs, but we couldn't resist this giant 70in screen. Size aside, the 70R2000 is far from ugly. Connections include two HDMIs, two component video inputs, a PC input, a CI slot and a digital audio output

Pros: Superb pictures and good value

Cons: Dull off-axis viewing, SD looks soft

Verdict: The strengths of the 70R2000 more than compensate for any minor flaws

Award: Recommended!

Review summary: If the 103in Panasonic was a bit too large for your living room, try this 70in Sony instead.

Verdict: With its stunning high definition performance, perfectly decent standard definition performance, enormous screen size, surprisingly affordable price tag and excellent features, we really can't recommend the 70R2000 enough ? especially if you're after ...
