Insignia NS-P42Q10A

Insignia NS-L42X-10A

By Nick Mokey

Insignia probably isn't the brand you see commercials for on TV, go into the store planning to buy, or frankly, brag to your friends about after you buy. But after strolling the show...

Stacked with inputs, including 5 HDMI ; matte screen eliminates glare ; attractive front bezel ; relatively high-quality sound ; respectable image quality for the price

Still some motion blur in games ; color palette produces banding in gradients ; can't muster much volume

LG 55LH90

By David Elrich

If you've just downed a great porterhouse steak, why have ultra-expensive Kobe beef for dessert? Because you can. That's how we felt when LG's new 55-inch LH90 LED...

Beautiful 1080p picture ; deep black levels, fine color accuracy ; plenty of picture tweaks, ISFccc capable ; attractive styling

Panasonic TC P-S1 Series Plasma TV (42", 46", 50", 54", 58")

Panasonic Viera TC-P42S1

By David Elrich

Older plasma displays are notorious energy hogs compared to LCD panels. Walk by one that's been on for a few hours and it almost feels like a Vermont wood stove in January. That's...

Excellent black levels ; picture quality tops 1080p LCDs ; anti-reflection filter works very well ; decent stereo sound

Could use another HDMI input ; saves power but still not as efficient at LCD displays ; simulated surround is terrible ; non-swiveling stand

Sharp Aquos LC-46D65U

Toshiba LV506 Series LCD TV ( 15", 19", 22" )

Toshiba 15LV506 Review

By John Brandon

Toshiba's affordable all-in-one TV might cut it in the kitchen, but probably not anywhere else.

Built-in tuner; supports many disc formats; remote is big and easy to use; low price; compact size for countertop use

Poor 500:1 contrast ratio; no HDMI port; no digital optical output; poor audio quality; no holder for remote

Superb black levels and picture clarity make this HDTV a winner, if you can find it on discount.

Gorgeous 1080p; 120Hz LCD HDTV

Expensive; two-piece system needs your buy-in

Sony Bravia KDL-XBR6 Series LCD TV ( 32", 37", 40", 46", 52" )

The Sony KDL-52XBR6 is a very good 52-inch HDTV, and you'll be happy once you make the investment.

Attractive, great black levels, solid quality, sound system, out-of-box settings

Sony's price premium, remote could use improvement, noticeable screen door effect, no memory card slots

Pioneer Elite Kuro Pro-111FD

We get bleary-eyed checking out all the new HDTVs. Bigger, better and cheaper are this year's watchwords in a nutshell. And yet, if you walk into a decent retailer (i.e. Magnolia...

Wonderful picture ; quality audio ; deep blacks ; non-reflective ; built-in image optimizer

Wildly expensive ; ho-hum remote ; no SD card reader

Samsung LN-A630 Series LCD TV (40",46",52")

Samsung LN46A630 Review

By Nick Mokey

Sitting between the popular 42- and 50-inch HDTV sizes, Samsung's LN46A630 occupies the middle of the road both in size and features.

Excellent picture quality; can be fine-tuned; intuitive menu system; attractive design

Unimpressive sound; could use more profiles
