Toshiba 40RF350U Review
Sunday, January 13th, 2008As the number of flat-panel HDTVs climbs, and the choices become ever more overwhelming, manufacturers look for more ways to differentiate their models.

Mitsubishi WD-65833 Review
Saturday, December 15th, 2007Perhaps the best value in big-screen HDTVs right now is in microdisplays, more commonly known as rear-projection TVs (RPTVs). As the category shrinks because of ever more popular and large flat-screen models using plasma and LCD technology, RPTV prices continue to drop.

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007As LCD and plasma compete for your hard-earned dollars, every difference between the two flat-panel HDTV types takes on more significance. This year, with the availability of 1080p resolution in both, 120Hz processing has emerged as the big spec-sheet differentiator: LCD has it, while plasma does not.
