Philips 42PFL5603D/27
After reading just about every online review of this television I could find, I decided to pull the trigger on it. I was a little hesitant as I found a couple reviews claiming that this television had a couple weaknesses. One being that it couldn’t produce a good black (common with cheaper LCD TVs) [...]

Samsung LN40A650
Before buying a friend and I did some research on plasma and lcds and ended up picking this Samsung despite other models that may have slightly better specs. The bottom line was I visited a local electronics store and this one looked the best. And it was the most reasonably priced 120Hz flat panel, [...]

Sony KDL-32L4000
Picture quality is very good to my eyes. The blacks are black, not washed out as on, say, a Westinghouse lvm37-w3. Sound from the built-in speakers is good, but nothing to compare with external amplified speakers. The built-in ATSC tuner does a great job.
Setting up the channel list was easy and took only a [...]

Sony KDL-40S4100
I’ve just spent an hour comparing this new, “budget”-priced Sony to a number of pricier sets which, if Amazon sales are any indicator, are currently killing the Sony in sales. Not only did the Sony’s picture compare favorably (to put it politely) with more expensive Samsung models, but it looked as good as its [...]

Samsung LN46A750
First at all, thanks all of you for posting your reviews, they really helped me to finally decided to buy it. I saw this TV four months ago for the first time and I loved it, but I was afraid because was a new product and no reviews available.
The red Touch around is very [...]

Samsung LN40A550
A few weeks ago I happened to get a new Wii for my son. Little did I know the saga that was about to ensue. While I was waiting for the new Wii to ship, I noticed my old 19 inch standard definition Magnavox tube TV would not have the right connections for the [...]

Samsung LN52A650
I spent a lot of time researching TVs and prices. Originally I was going to get a Sony XBR4 or XBR5 because my friend and I were looking at televisions ( at best buy) when we came across this particular model of Sony we both stopped and our jaws dropped! It had the most [...]

Samsung PN58A50
I’ve had the PN58A550 FOR about a month now and overall I am very pleased.
Positive:
The value is very good on this TV. The picture quality is great. Setup option are more extenisive than most TV’s. You can really dial in everything about the picture using regular menus. The overall finish on the TV is [...]

Panasonic TH-42PZ85U
Just a short review as there are so many already.
I spent approximately 3 years researching displays. No it didn’t take me that long to figure things out, I was basically waiting for the technology to meet my expectations at a given price point.
After exhaustive research I narrowed things down to Plasma and then further [...]

Samsung LN46A550
Samsung is really making a name for themselves with their LCD TVs and other LCD products. The LN46A550 continues Samsung’s tradition of higher standards of quality for their TV division, maintaining themselves as a top tier LCD manufacturer, alongside Sony and Sharp (Don’t bother looking at other brands, particularly the cheaper ones: they lack [...]
