Best HDTV Shootout Comparison 2013, Samsung vs. LG vs. Panasonic
We've compiled a list of what we think are the most important differentiating factors in testing quality of these HDTVs and performed the following shootout based on our findings through some very thorough investigation. Read More...
Samsung UN55F8000 Review
The clear coat, rich black screen and the high quality edge lighting LEDs allow for colors to pop and give a real sense of depth when viewing HD quality source material. Light flow-through is the best on the market. Read More...
LG 47LA7400 Review
Picture quality on the LA7400 is very strong with great dark shadow detail which is not overshadowed by good black performance. Colors are natural looking and not oversaturated, while picture depth is also very good for the LED edge lit LCD TV. Read More...
LG 50LA6900 Review
The 50LA6900 is replaces the 6700 series from last year. The addition of the 50-inch size to the mid-tier series offers flexibility for those who want a little larger TV but don’t have the space or want the 55” size. Read More...
Samsung UN60F7500 Review
The 60 inch version of the F7500 is the largest of the series. The UN60F7500 is all about picture quality, internet connectivity, and high end features, and is a half step down from the top of the line F8000 series. Read More...
Sony KDL-46EX640 Review
This LED backlit LCD TV succeeds the KDL46EX620 from last year which was a successful TV at its price point. Though we are not overwhelmed by the picture quality of this unit we do like the value of this 46" offering.Read More...
Samsung UN50EH6000 Review
Color performance on the UN50EH6000 pleases. It is both realistic and accurate. If you are good about keeping the backlight in check, colors won't wash out.Read More...
Sharp LC-60LE640U Review
Design-wise the 640U series is attractive with a black matte finish frame which is made of plastic rather than metal. Still it's difficult to tell from a straight on view. It's a classy good look.Read More...
Toshiba 55L6200U Review
The most important difference between this 2nd tier model and the top end L7200 is the Clear Scan 120Hz feature rather than the 240Hz in the L7200.Read More...
LG 47LS4600 Review
The picture quality on this LED from LG is in the middle of the pack for 2012/early 2013. LG has enabled the 47LS4600 with some good picture setting features for such a value oriented TV. Read More...
Samsung UN55EH6000 Review
We initially thought at CES the EH6000 was going to receive the clear coat screen which gives the picture so much depth, but this is one of the big differences between the EH6000 and the ES6100 series. Read More...
Sharp LC-46LE540U Review
One aspect we liked is the peak white performance in brightly lit rooms with lots of window light. Another situation is live HD sports action which we feel the LE540U did a very nice job displaying as the 120Hz panel and internal processing helped to smooth action scenes.Read More...
LG 55LM7600 Review
Although the 55LM7600 does not have the premium LED backlighting package with local dimming, 3D content still looks good and color seems just as good on this set as the higher end models form LG for 2012. Read More...
Sony KDL55HX750 Review
This model is not really replacement for the top end HX929 series but a continuation of the same type of characteristics and features that Sony is putting into their top end LED backlit LCD offerings. You will find all of Sony's top features on this 2012 TV offering. Read More...
LG 47LM8600 Review
One of the highlighted features of this TV is the LED local dimming feature. However, this is not true backlit local dimming but in fact edge lit LED manipulated local dimming. The feature may be turned off and on so it's easy to test the effectiveness of the feature. Read More...
Samsung UN55ES6500 vs. Sony KDL-55EX640
Samsung and Sony are putting their best efforts forward in the mid range value category of LED backlit LCD TVs for 2012. They are almost identical in feature set. These two may be some of the best products available in the value category for this year...Read More...
Samsung KN55F9500 OLED TV Review
The Samsung KN55F9500 OLED TV is available for purchase by the end of 2012. This 55-inch ES9500 is Samsung's very top-of-the-line model hands down in every aspect. Read More...
LG 55EM9600 OLED TV Review
The 55-inch EM9600 is LG's answer to the up and coming OLED display technology in TVs. The race is on between LG and Samsung to see who actually gets it here first, regardless we will see it on the market and available for purchase by the end of 2012.Read More...
