- Vizio GV52LF
- Every time Vizio enters a new screen-size category with its flat-panel HDTVs, the company seems to break a new price barrier in the process. The 52-inch GV52LF is another case in point. It's the first 1080p LCD we've seen at this size to dip below $2,000--provided you have the appropriate...

- Vizio SV420XVT
- Although CNET did not review the 42-inch Vizio SV420XVT, we did review the 47-inch Vizio SV470XVT. Judging from their spec sheets the two Vizio front-panel LCDs are basically identical but for screen size, so we expect the review of the 47-inch model to give a good indication of how the...

- Vizio SV470XVT
- Budget flat-panel powerhouse Vizio is breaking into the lucrative realm of high-end HDTVs with its XVT line, comprised of a 50-inch plasma we detailed at CES and a pair of LCDs, including the model reviewed here, the 47-inch SV470XVT. Equipped with a lot of glossy black, a slicker menu system,...

- Vizio VP322
- Mostly on the strength of aggressive pricing, Vizio in the last several years has taken the flat-panel HDTV market--both LCD and plasma--by storm, rocketing past better-known brands and becoming one of the best-selling names in the country. The company has also introduced some unique products, among them the VP322, which...

- Panasonic Viera TC-32LX85
- Coming from a company known more for its plasma HDTVs, the Panasonic TC-32LX85 is a pleasant surprise in the 32-inch LCD category. Attractively designed and well appointed with generous connectivity, it is also a good performer overall, although by no means perfect. I was particularly impressed with the set's color...

- Toshiba Regza 42RV530U
- During the last year flat-panel HDTV prices seemed to hit a plateau, where the standard bricklike downward trend leveled off somewhat. Now, however, prices are on the decline again, opening up bigger screen sizes to lower price ranges. For example, Toshiba's lowest-priced 1080p 42-inch LCD, the 42RV530U, can be purchased...

- Vizio VP422
- Vizio has taken aggressive pricing to a new level of low. The company's VP422, a 42-inch flat-panel plasma HDTV, can be had for the extremely low price of $799. While this set doesn't have the picture quality to qualify as the centerpiece of a home theater, it certainly could be...

- Samsung LN32A450
- Our favorite small-screen LCD in 2007 was Samsung's LN-T3253H, and this year's version, the LN32A450, is another picture-quality winner. This LCD delivers solid black level performance and accurate color, along with a commendable feature set compared with the rest of the 32-inch LCD pack. No, it's not as inexpensive ...

- Sharp LC-32D44U
- As off-brands such as Vizio, Insignia, and Westinghouse continue to make inroads among HDTV shoppers, traditional makers such as Sharp have to make it seem as if their sets are worth a couple of hundred bucks extra. That's especially tough in the small-to-medium-screen space, where the entry-level Sharp Aquos LC-32D44U...

- Insignia NS-LCD32
- The Best Buy house brand Insignia can be found on some of the cheapest, er, least-expensive HDTVs available anywhere, and judging from the company's terrible NS-PDP42 plasma, you might be tempted to write these sets off entirely. Not so fast, bargain hunter. The 32-inch NS-LCD32 LCD TV fared a lot...

- As Vizio continues to prove itself capable of competing in sales against the Sonys and Samsungs of the world, the company keeps tweaking its formula of offering plenty of bang for the buck, especially in the features department. The newly designed VO47LF, a 47-inch flat-panel LCD, has four HDMI inputs...

- Olevia 252T FHD
- Vizio and Westinghouse have become relatively well-known brands among the hundreds of flat-panel LCD makers most people haven't heard of, and Olevia also deserves credit for establishing its name as well. The company has dropped the old name "Syntax"--definitely not an error--and released a slew of models, including the 52-inch...

- JVC has certainly lost market share in the LCD HDTV market to heavy hitters like Samsung, Vizio, and Sharp, but it continues to put out a full suite of 1080p and non-1080p HDTVs. The LT-47X788 is one of the more inexpensive 47-inch 1080p LCDs we've reviewed, and apparently JVC made...

- Panasonic TH-58PZ700U
- One reason analysts continue to predict the demise of rear-projection HDTVs is because larger flat-panels, such as the 58-inch Panasonic TH-58PZ700U, continue to fall in price. This massive plasma still costs a mint however, at least compared to similarly sized RPTVs and even budget big-screen plasmas such as the Vizio...

- Pioneer PDP-5080HD
- Black-level performance is one of the most important aspects of picture quality. When a display can produce a deep shade of black, it not only improves the realism and the punch of dark scenes, it also makes colors look richer and more saturated. So why did we like Pioneer PDP-5080HD...

The 47-inch TX-47F430S LCD rides hard with an extralong board's worth of features, including four HDMI inputs, 1080p native resolution for a relative pittance, oodles of picture settings, and a...
