- Vizio VP42HDTV
- In case you haven't noticed, the price of plasma TV has officially fallen into the three-figure range. The 42-inch Vizio VP42HDTV, available for $999--and in some cases even less--is the perfect example. This HDTV misses no features, hits the style note nicely, and most importantly, comes through with a picture...

- Last week, I gave some recommendations for budget home theater setups. This time, I'm looking at home theater products for a slightly larger budget: TVs that cost between $1,000 and $2,000, plus slightly more expensive components. Even with the additional outlay, it doesn't add up to...

- Vizio VP505XVT
- The first 50-inch Vizio plasma HDTV we reviewed here at CNET, the P50HDM, earned the right to be called "the best value in its class" by virtue of its very good picture quality and rock-bottom--at the time--price of just less than $2,000. In the more than three years since that...

- Haier HL47K
- Haier is hardly a household name in the U.S. among TV manufacturers, although you might know the brand through its air conditioner business. Nonetheless, the HL47K isn't the first Haier HDTV we've reviewed. That distinction belongs to the otherwise less-than-distinct 42EP14S, a 42-inch plasma that sold for $2,300 in...

- Vizio rolls out four new bargain-priced 1080p LCD HDTVs
- It's highly debatable that you can tell the difference between 720p and 1080p HD content in sets under 50 inches, much less in models less than 42 inches, but that isn't stopping HDTV makers from bringing 1080p to sets as small as 32 inches. Vizio continues...
