The Bottom Line:
This set simply has better picture quality and an engine that is able to handle HD feeds at a better level. Much better than the SONY A-2020
Recently decided to step up from my 50 inch SONY KDF-E5010A to a 60 inch set. I initially purchased the SONY A-2020 and immediately noticed the lack of clarity in the picture as compared to my supposedly lower end 50 inch set. I also noticed heavy pixilation watching some football games. Part of this is the DirecTV issues that are occurring during high volume viewing hours (they don't have enough bandwidth yet) but I mean my wife and I could not believe how bad it looked compared to our 50 inch set. After a couple of days I decided to go back to the store I purchased the set at and take my time. I viewed the A-2020 and the A-3000 side by side with the same feed and same setting for over 45 minutes however it only took me 45 seconds to notice a substantial difference in the quality of these sets. Not only was the picture much much better but the colors were much more striking, and I don't just mean on the vivid settings that all stores use to suck us into buying.
So I arranged an exchange (the price difference was about $150.00. As soon as I received the A-3000 I was back in my HD heaven. However the real test would come on Sunday when I started watching my NFL Package. We I am happy to say that the pixilation issues that the A-2020 had were pretty much a non-issue with the A-3000.
For many people who don't realize these issues with a bigger TV set and HD programming it is really an important factor as that same pixilation can also occur on action sequences in movies and TV shows.
The A-3000 has a much better and advanced engine that the prior year's models and that is the main reason to spend the extra few dollars.
I would recommend this set highly.
