1080p HDTV shoot-out |
|
||
 David Katzmaier Senior editor |
Updated February 27, 2006 HDTV looks its best on big screens with high resolution, so here are the top contenders for the best of the best. Each of the models below has 1080p native resolution, which should deliver all of the detail of today's highest-res broadcast format, 1080i. They offer screens large enough to enjoy all of that HD detail yet cost half as much--if not less--than what you'd expect to pay for a similarly sized plasma. In other words, they're right in the sweet spot for people serious about big-screen image quality. You can read the full details on each of these HDTVs' performance by checking out the in-depth reviews. More resources

| Review summary | By today's standards, the Sony KDS-R60XBR1 is expensive, but its fabulous performance and feature set make it well worth the price for early adopters. | Although blessed with a great feature package, the Mitsubishi WD-62628's picture quality falls short of the competition. | The Samsung HL-R6768W is a strong contender for the best 1080p HDTV we've reviewed yet, but nondefeatable DNIe processing spoils its chances. | While it doesn't quite deliver the best picture among 1080p HDTVs, the HP MD6580n's innovative design and future-ready inputs may tip the scales in its favor anyway. | With its competitive image quality and price, the JVC HD-61FH96 is a strong contender against the other 1080p big screens on the market. |
