CES 2009: Westinghouse's new 120HZ 1080p LCD HDTVs, LCD monitors [day 3]

Westinghouse Digital gets a bit of the short stick at CES, stuck in the shadow of such high-profile HDTV manufacturers such as Panasonic, Sony and Samsung. Still, the company's got some new HDTVs (that, fingers crossed, I'll be able to play with tomorrow), as well as new LCD displays from...

Wireless HD standards battle for supremacy

It's pretty clear that the future for sending high-definition content to HDTVs is wireless, since it eliminates all those cables that everyone is trying to hide behind walls, in home theater cabinetry, or however else they can. But as is often the case with nascent technologies,...

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...

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...

Westinghouse VK-40F580D

Anybody who's owned a combination TV/VCR, or its multiheaded offspring, the TV/DVD player/VCR, knows that the VCR eventually breaks, and fixing it is not easy. Happily, the DVD part seems a lot more robust, which should reassure prospective buyers of the Westinghouse VK-40F580D, which is one of the few larger-screen...

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...

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...

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...

WinBook 46D1

Vizio GV47LF HDTV

Native resolution, which on HDTV spec sheets usually refers to the number of physical pixels used to create the picture, comes in two basic flat-panel LCD flavors: 1,366x768 and 1,920x1,080. The latter, known as 1080p, has become increasingly common even among relatively inexpensive models, and Vizio's GV47LF HDTV is one...
