All Rights Reserved. 1440 en-us http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/NEC_AccuSync_24WMCX_LCD_Monitor.htm NEC's AccuSync 24WMCX performs admirably as a computer monitor. In HDTV mode, I found it difficult to adjust its picture quality beyond satisfactory levels. If you want an HDTV that can operate as an occasional computer monitor, look elsewhere. If a computer monitor is your main prerequisite, then put this NEC hybrid on your list. LCD TVs Thu, 07 Feb 2008 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Toshiba_46LX177_LCD_HDTV_Review.htm I appreciate an HDTV that provides the tools to adjust the picture to my taste and the Toshiba 46LX177 delivers the goods. If you like a rich, saturated image with great integrated sound, then this REGZA fills the bill. LCD TVs Fri, 25 Jan 2008 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/LG_42LBX_LCD_HDTV_Review.htm I'm glad to say that the LG 42LBX lives up to its christened title. This Opus definitely delivers a delightful visual symphony. LCD TVs Fri, 28 Dec 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Sony_BRAVIA_KDL-46XBR4_LCD_HDTV_Review.htm When displaying high definition material, the BRAVIA KDL-46XBR4 conspicuously showcases all of Sony's video processing prowess. But what endears it to me is how well it handles mundane standard def material and backs it up with a rather impressive integrated sound system. This solid all terrain performance makes it stand out in the HDTV crowd. LCD TVs Fri, 07 Dec 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Pioneer_PRO-1150HD_Plasma_HDTV_Review.htm With a deep black base as a canvas, the PRO-1150HD paints a rich, colorful image that impressively represents Pioneer's KURO series of HDTVs. This black beauty delivers the features and the quality that you would expect in an HDTV in this price range. Plasma TVs Tue, 20 Nov 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Samsung_HL-T5689S_DLP_HDTV.htm The Samsung HL-T5689S is not your father's old funky RPTV. This feature-rich, DLP driven HDTV delivers a spacious, colorful 1080p image that challenges its thinner competition. And just to show off, it can display 3D programs. DLP Projection TVs Thu, 08 Nov 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Mitsubishi_LT-40134_LCD_HDTV_Review.htm The Mitsubishi LT-40134 is a feature-rich 40" LCD with future-proof functions like HDMI 1.3 connectivity and support for DeepColor and x.v.Color content. Its sharp and bright picture was consistently appealing. The audio, not so much. LCD TVs Fri, 19 Oct 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/VIZIO_JV50P_Plasma_HDTV_Review.htm The VIZIO JV50P is a meat and potatoes HDTV. It wouldn't be my first choice for a home theater. But for the price, this 50" plasma, with a 5.1 surround system thrown in, would be a great addition to a game room. Plasma TVs Thu, 04 Oct 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Panasonic_TH-50PZ700U_Plasma_HDTV_Review.htm The TH-50PZ700U, the new 50" entry into Panasonic's expanded Z700 Viera series of 1080p plasmas, is a full bodied HDTV that produces rich high definition images. Plasma TVs Tue, 18 Sep 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Panasonic_TH-42PH10UK_Plasma_Review.htm The recently released TH-42PH10UK updates Panasonic's 42" offering in their Professional Plasma series. This monitor contains all the elements that you would expect from a commercial product, but for many of you searching for a great looking plasma for your home theater, the TH-42PH10UK's superior picture quality makes this monitor well worth considering. Plasma TVs Sun, 29 Jul 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/ViewSonic_VX2435_LCD_Monitor_Review.htm The VX2435 24" LCD Monitor is ViewSonic's entry into the growing new breed of computer monitor/HDTV hybrids that can handle both computer (16 x 10, WUXGA, 1920 x 1200) and HDTV (16 x 9, 1080p) signals. LCD TVs Fri, 20 Jul 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/BenQ_FP241WZ_LCD_Monitor_Review.htm The BenQ FP241WZ 24" LCD Monitor is a hybrid combining the VGA and DVI inputs and 16x10 (WUXGA, 1920 x 1200) format from the computer universe with HDMI, Component, and S-Video inputs and 1080p resolution from the HDTV world. LCD TVs Thu, 12 Jul 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/BangOlufsenBeoVision7-40Review.htm After reviewing a parade of look-alike HDTVs, we ached to find a stylish departure from the norm. The BeoVision 7-40 soothes that pain with a unmatched combination of design and performance. LCD TVs Wed, 13 Jun 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/VIZIO_VM60P_Plasma.htm We like the VIZIO VM60P and its expansive five foot plasma screen, especially when it's displaying high definition programs. Is it a perfect, videophile's HDTV? No. But if you are waiting for a 1080p 60" plasma - for under $3000 - then, we hope that you are a patient soul. Plasma TVs Sat, 07 Apr 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Sanyo_42LM4WPN.htm Sanyo's 42LM4WPN delivers a great looking 720p image wrapped up in a snazzy aluminum waterproof enclosure. At $8500, it's designed for the digital signage and commercial markets. LCD TVs Fri, 30 Mar 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/JVC_LT-46FN97_Review.htm The JVC LT-46FN97 handles standard definition content better than most HDTVs we have reviewed, which is a big plus for those still watching a lot of SD programs. And with HD sources, it performs admirably, producing a bright, rich image. On the flip side, remember that this HDTV does not accept 1080p signals. And we wish the remote and user interface were more friendly. LCD TVs Thu, 22 Mar 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Westinghouse_LVM-47w1_Review.htm We imagine that this 1080p monitor will be a good match for the humble viewers who simply want a no-nonsense, easy to use, high definition, 47" TV. LCD TVs Fri, 09 Mar 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Olevia_747i_Review.htm Built around a high-end SiliconOptix Realta Hollywood Quality Video processor, this feature-laden 747i produces a lush, rich-looking 1080p image. LCD TVs Tue, 13 Feb 2007 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Dell_W3207C.htm With the W3207C, Dell offers a basic "this is all you really need" HDTV that produces a superior HD image. LCD TVs Fri, 17 Nov 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Pioneer_PRO-940HD.htm The Pioneer PRO-940HD provides top-notch HD performance and a bevy of features. This videophile's dream does Pioneer's Elite brand proud. Plasma TVs Sun, 29 Oct 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Maxent_MX-5020HPM_Plasma_Monitor.htm The Maxent MX-5020HPM is a value priced monitor that will not be confused for an overachiever. Once properly calibrated (not an easy task), the 50" display should be able to satisfy a football fanatic party. A true videophile will be better served by looking elsewhere. Plasma TVs Thu, 12 Oct 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/VIZIO_GV42L_LCD_HDTV.htm The VIZIO GV42L HDTV produces a bright beautiful high definition image. And I appreciate how VIZIO has added features to this new model and improved its usability while still maintaining a competitive price. I think that you'll find watching HD on the GV42L will definitely put you in your comfort zone. LCD TVs Thu, 31 Aug 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Norcent_LT3250_LCD_HDTV.htm Norcent may not be the first name that rolls off your frontal lobe when you are thinking of TVs, but if its LT-3250 is any indication, Norcent is a brand name to file away in the old gray matter. From the first day of reviewing this 32" LCD, I was impressed with the richness of its high definition image. And the more I ran it through its paces with an assortment of video sources, HD and SD, I came to appreciate its versatility. LCD TVs Thu, 17 Aug 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/ViewSonic_N3251w_LCD_HDTV.htm The N3251w is ViewSonic's newest entry into the 32" LCD TV market. (In March, we reviewed its older, slightly higher end, sibling, the N3260w, which is still available.) If you have been window-shopping for HDTVs in the last few months, you no doubt have been pleased with the spate of sticker slashing. The prices of these ViewSonics have reflected that trend. In fact, the estimated street price for the newer N3251w is $999. LCD TVs Wed, 02 Aug 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Mitsubishi_MDT402S_LCD_HDTV.htm I rarely wear a coat and cravat, but I am donning the proverbial blue blazer and red power tie to review the Mitsubishi 40" MDT402S Commercial LCD Monitor Display - the key descriptor here being commercial. This product, (with a WXGA [1366 x 768] resolution in a 16:9 video format), is designed and built for heavy-duty business uses such as digital signage; so, it needs a more button-down analysis. LCD TVs Mon, 24 Jul 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/NEC_PX-42XR4A_Plasma_HDTV_review.htm Plasma TVs Tue, 20 Jun 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Maxent_MX42HPM20_plasma_hd_monitor_review.htm The Maxent MX-42HPM20 is somewhat of a bargain at the moment with its suggested U.S. retail-selling price of $1799. It is the latest generation of wall mountable flat screen plasma displays and offers extremely high performance. Plasma TVs Fri, 02 Jun 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Sony_FWD_40LX_LCD_Monitor_Review.htm The Sony FWD-40LX is an excellent monitor with natural, faithful colors, a sharp picture and lots of features which will suit it well to the studio as a monitor, or to the boardroom for presentations. It will work equally well in situations requiring modest "video walls" or in other commercial applications. As a home video unit for a high-quality home theater, I'm less inclined to recommend it. LCD TVs Tue, 18 Apr 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/pioneer_pdp-505cmx_plasma_hd_monitor_review.htm The PDP-505CMX is a great display, with very few flaws and some industry leading performance attributes. The gap in black levels between Panasonic and Pioneer has shrunk considerably from a few years ago, and I would recommend this display whole-heartedly, especially at its current price point. Plasma TVs Mon, 17 Apr 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/ViewSonic_N3260w_LCD_Monitor.htm ViewSonic is a well-known and well-respected computer monitor manufacturer who has decided to apply their skills to the area of high-definition home video with a line of wide-screen LCD HDTVs/monitors ranging in size from 32" to 40". Our focus in this review is the 32" N3260w ‘NextVision'. LCD TVs Tue, 28 Mar 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/VIZIO_P42HDTV_Plasma_HDTV_Review.htm With VIZIO's P42 High Definition Plasma Television, I have glimpsed the future of HDTVs and it looks mighty familiar. This nuts and bolts model typifies the maturation of the HDTV industry. In the recent past, when you went shopping for a flat screen TV, the choices could be confusing, HD Ready, HD Compatible, or HD Maybe-if-the-Moon-is-Full. Now, with models like the VIZIO P42, it's back to the good old days when you could buy a television without worrying that it was missing some basic feature. The P42 reminds me of an old fashioned TV - which is not a bad thing. It has all the tuners and connections and comb filters that you need in the HDTV world and everything you should expect in a TV. Plasma TVs Tue, 28 Mar 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Sharp_AQUOS_LC-32D6U_LCD_HDTV.htm Our subject for this review is the Sharp AQUOS LC-32D6U, a 32-inch diagonal LCD HDTV with 1366 x 768 pixels of resolution and a retail price of $2,099.99. It is sold mostly through specialty retail stores with an average street price of about $1,600. LCD TVs Wed, 22 Mar 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Syntax_Olevia_LT42HVi_LCD_HDTV.htm Syntax's entry into the increasingly crowded 42" LCD market, the Ölevia LT42Hvi, is a sleek, stylishly designed, 1366 x 768 native resolution HDTV with all of the features that you would expect with an MSRP of $2699. Mounted on a wall with its black glass front (and only a blue light indicating it's powered up), the monitor would make a bold impression, filling any high tech home with pride. LCD TVs Fri, 10 Mar 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/dell_4201C_plasma_tv.htm If you want life-like color, incredible dynamic range, and a picture that literally looks as if one could walk through it and into the scene, then the Dell W4201C may be the HDTV for you. Plasma TVs Thu, 02 Mar 2006 03:00:00 PDT http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/Westinghouse_LTV-32w3HD_LCD_TV.htm With an MSRP of $1299, the LTV-32w3HD is priced lower than many other 32" LCD HDTVs with a built in tuner and the overall image quality is better than its price suggests. For viewers that do not need a built-in tuner, I would suggest checking out the LTV-32w1 for about $999, as this is a great value if the image quality is anywhere near the LTV-32w3 HD.
