Battle of the LCD big-screens |
|
||
 David Katzmaier Senior editor |
October 25, 2005 Although plasma prices are falling rapidly, big-screen rear-projection HDTVs still represent the best value for people who want as much screen real estate for as little cash as possible. And among the myriad rear-projection technologies, LCD is emerging as the entry-level choice for companies that offer both LCD and DLP. In other words, the TVs below are among the least-expensive big-screen HDTVs you'll find for 2005, and all of them offer at least 50 inches of screen and all the HDTV fixin's. If plasma is still too rich for your blood, they make a good alternative. More resources

| Review summary | While this Sony's depth of black still falls a bit short of last year's DLP-driven sets', its other image-quality strengths keep it competitive. | The WD-52527 has a remarkable feature set and plenty of connections, and its image will satisfy casual viewers, but shoppers in search of the best picture-to-price ratio will want to look elsewhere. | Panasonic's budget-priced LCD-based rear-projection PT-52LCX65 HDTV proves that you get what you pay for. |
