The Insignia NS-LDVD32Q-10A is a 720p LCD HDTV for the budget-minded. Surprisingly though, this Best Buy store brand TV is not a clunker. Capable of deep black levels and an impressive contrast ratio, we can recommend it as a model for the kids or the ...

The Insignia NS-LDVD32Q-10A surprised us, aspiring beyond what the price would suggest. Namely, the color performance proved rather good, and the deep black levels ensure that you'll be seeing a lot of detail in the shadows. However, the TV's ...

The LG 32LH40 is an entry-level LCD with a 32-inch screen that supports 1080p. The 32LH40 had some decent performance scores for a TV its size. It also has some nice extras, such as photo and music playback and a 120 Hz refresh rate setting. The LG ...

The LG 32LH40 is a pretty solid option at its price point. It doesn't have the highest contrast ratio and its color temperature tends to wander, but it did tend to have less artifacting/blurring issues than competing TVs. Overall, the 32LH40's ...

At $550, the Insignia NS-L37Q-10A is a very inexpensive 37-inch 1080p LCD HDTV. The set lacks any notable extra features, but delivers picture quality that's more than fine for a mainstream audience. Insignia is Best Buy's house brand, so that's the ...

There's not much to say about the NS-L37Q-10A. It's a simple TV. It lacks features and doesn't have perfect picture quality. But it's a pretty good value for its price. As long as you can put up with its quirks, and you're not a cinephile, the NS-L37Q ...

The Panasonic TC-P50U1 is a pretty basic model, at least as basic as they come in the 50-inch plasma category (that's a lot of screen real estate, mind you). Skipping the fancy, and frequently pointless, special processing features, Panasonic has made ...

The Panasonic TC-P50U1 is a good, but not outstanding, television. On the plus side, we loved the deep blacks and wide viewing angle that the Panasonic could produce. However, it failed to produce sufficiently bright whites and there were noticeable ...

The 32LG70 was an average entry-level LCD. It didn't have any eye-catching features, but could play back pictures and music via its USB port. While its performances weren't stellar, they should be good enough for a mainstream audience. The 32LG70 is ...

The 32LG70 looks to be a nice entry-level option for people who are just looking for a TV. If you're looking for exemplar quality, this isn't the TV for you. While it did have some impressive test results, overall the set was solidly average. It was ...

The 47LH90 is a decent TV with some nice features. Not all of the TV's test results were great, but it did have a 240Hz mode and local dimming. Unfortunately, we didn't think either was particular impactful. The 47LH90 is currently available for ...

The 47LH90 didn't wow us, but it wasn't terrible either. Most of its scores were either average or on the high side of average. The main issue is it's not a particularly exciting TV. It has a large, thick bezel and its main features are all sort of ...

The Philips 42PFL3704D/F7 is an entry-level TV with a mid-range price. At almost $1000, we weren't very impressed with the TV. It seemed to have a hard time dealing with color. The gamut was off, the color temperature fluctuated wildly, and color ...

The Philips 42PFL3704D/F7 isn't the greatest TV, even for an entry level. It doesn't have the best picture quality, and doesn't make up for this by having additional features. It does have the photo/music viewer, but that only offers minor ...

The Samsung LN40B530 ($899 MSRP) is a decent television that's low on frills. There's no special motion processing features, no multi-media playback, and no internet connectivity. There are definitely fancier models out there, but you can watch TV on ...

The Samsung is a great, simple television. It performed well on almost every test, but was lacking in special features. If you're a gadget geek, lusting after faster processing or high-end multimedia interfaces, you'll want to look elsewhere. Samsung ...

The RCA L40FHD41 is an entry-level LCD HDTV. The TV doesn't have the best picture quality, but it wasn't terrible either. Also, while it lacks the feaures you'd see on a mid-range or high-end set, it is very inexpensive. The L40FHD41 is basically a ...

The RCA L40FHD41 is a budget TV. This means it won't cost you much money, but it won't be a stunning beacon of technological progress either. Overall, we thought the RCA held up well against other TVs. It had decent picture quality, despite a few ...

The Toshiba 46SV670U is first LED-backlit with local dimming we've seen. Overall, we liked the color performance, but everything else left us wondering "why the hype?" Modest gains in contrast ratio weren't enough to have us drooling.

The Toshiba 46SV670U is a safe bet for its price and class range. It held up admirably, though didn't trump its competition. The Toshiba only fell apart on one test, color temperature consistency. The motion smoothness was less than ideal, but not the ...
