Although this review may seem to be "a little late", I do think that my experience with the earlier model of this Sony is appropriate. I bought a KDS-60A2000 in January of 2007 so I've had it for a few months over a year. As most of you will recognize, my unit is a 60" SXRT from the previous model year.
Like many of you, I did a lot of Internet research before settling on the Sony - it was very highly rated by a number of sites. The final straw was live viewing many sets side-by-side on the same program from the same source - it was a no-brainer - the Sony had at least as good a picture as any Plasma in the store and the price couldn't be beat.
I use Verizon's FIOS fiber optic service and have the unit hooked up through my home theater audio. The picture - indeed the HD experience - is simply awesome - especially live sports - like ice hockey.
I did "tune" the picture using the DVE (Digital Video Essentials) HD optimization DVD and it remains the sharpest, most accurate picture that I have personally seen (including the high-bucks plasma sets). I've had absolutely no problems of any kind and there have been no regrets on purchasing this set.
Another tidbit: I also purchased a Logitech Harmony 880 remote control and am able to control the Sony, the Verizon HD receiver, a Yamaha home theater receiver and a Sony upscaling DVD with a single click. It's programmed via the Logitech Internet site (using a USB connection) and can handle about any peripheral you might have. I've got a bowlful of unused remotes now. It's a little pricey at $150 but it has contributed to my HD enjoyment by simplifying the mechanics.
