The Bottom Line	This is one of the best small, entry-level, HD-ready, rear-projection TVs available.	A smaller big-screen set with lots of features and a few flaws, the 42HDX82 is still plenty of TV for the money.	One of the best HDTV-compatible rear-projection TVs available.	A great performer, especially after calibration, this smaller, midpriced, big-screen TV sets a high standard.
