DPR editors' take

Although DPR did not review the 60-inch Sony KDS-60A3000, we did review the 55-inch Sony KDS-55A3000. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Sony rear-projection HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 55-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 60-incher will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Sony KDS-55A3000.
