Autumn, better known as "preholiday shopping season" is here, and by now store shelves and online aisles are stocked with most of the new HDTV models you'll be able to purchase by the time the official shopping season arrives. Despite the sluggish economy, numerous high-end HDTV models will be among those available, including some with newer technology like local dimming LED, wireless transmission, and newfangled interactive capabilities. Peruse our list of the hottest new models, which includes a few from late summer, too, and as usual we'll be reviewing most of these sets before year's end.

LG 55LHX
Date: September
Price: $4,799
The outlook: The 55-inch LG 55LHX will be the company's most expensive and feature-packed LCD model when it launches later this year, including LED backlighting with local dimming, a 240Hz refresh rate and, the kicker, built-in wireless. The 55LHX ships with a base station, into which you plug your gear. The station in turn transmits those video signals to the panel itself, so all you need to plug into the TV is the power cord. The transmission method utilizes a proprietary 60Ghz radio and multielement antenna array, and the company says it's capable of uncompressed delivery of full 1080p video.
