Sony KDS-R70XBR2 1920×1080 SXRD RPTV

Is your living room really that big that you can justify a 70" rear projection TV? If it is, Sony has a cure for what ails you, a 70 inch rear projection DLP. By now, we know the rainbow hazrds of a DLP. The only thing that caught my eye during the review was that this model converts 60f to 24f using 3:2 pulldown which eliminates any advantage of using a 1080p24f HD player.

Ultimate A/V

The on-screen menu layout is similar to the system Sony has been using for some time. I'd like to say that I'm a fan of the way it's organized, but I'm not. I often found myself jumping into the wrong menu or menu level when using the joystick control, or even exiting the menu by accident. The joystick control was very precise in its operation, but the direction I needed to push wasn't always intuitive. I admit, however, that I've been maneuvering around six different display remotes over the past few weeks, so none of them have yet become completely intuitive.
