Samsung LN46E550 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
This 1080p traditional LCD TV will not win any innovation awards, but it is going for your basic market and will be sold as a budget, entry level TV at stores like Walmart and other discounters. So pricing will be very important in its value proposition.

LG 47LM6700 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
The LED edge lit 47LM6700 impressed us with both its color and black level performance. Colors were bold but still realistic even on the standard setting prior to professional calibration- albeit with a blue push.

Samsung UN55D8000 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
See the Video Review
The picture depth is incredible and aside from some plasma competition, it's the best we've tested in this area. Contrast, sharp, clean edges, and rich color and light combine to give the depth effect. The 55D8000 comes with a 4 leg chrome stand with 20 degree swivel, everyone likes the sleek picture frame appearance of the bezel which is a negligible .4" in width and almost unseen were it not for the silver metallic strip surrounding the screen.

The super thin trim framing this TV is only .35" in width all the way around the screen. It has a chrome silver finish on the edges. One thing I also like about the appearance is the jet black screen when the TV is off. The UND7000 comes set with loaded with many of Samsung's top features such as 3D compatibility, Smart Hub Internet TV options, 240Hz processing, Micro-Dimming, and their most up to date design.

Toshiba claimed to have come out with a new processor for their TVs called Cinespeed and we can confirm that it works. During processor testing the Toshiba SL417 registered excellent results, the best we've seen on several tests including the most difficult film resolution loss test.

The LV5500 are 1080p LED TVs that include LG's SmartTV Internet TV feature and the motion sensitive Magic Wand remote. They are 120Hz panels and LG's App Store features over 120 online applications.

Sony KDL-46EX720 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
See the Video Review
Robert Wiley reviews this LED backlit 3D LCD TV from Sony, when compared to other 3D models it is quite price competitive. We cover the Picture Quality with HD and SD sources, the 3D image quality, the feature set of the TV and rate the value to come up with the final score. See the calibrated picture settings for the EX720 as well as our video review of this television. Read More...
Samsung UN46D6000 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
See the Video Review
Robert Wiley and Jack Burden review this mid-tier LED LCD TV from Samsung... "HD picture quality is superb for the most part. The previous issues with AutoMotionPlus are non-existent with HD content. In fact the replacement feature LEDMotionPlus didnt seem to have any impact on motion lag or judder with HD signals. When we turned the feature on the picture got a little darker (presumably from a decreased backlight output) but that was it." Read More...
LG 55LV3700 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
See the Video Review
The LV3700 has the same internet connectivity options as the higher end LV5500 but does not include the motion sensitive magic wand remote nor does it include the WiFi dongle. The panel drops from 120Hz to 60Hz as well, Robert Wiley puts the 55" 55LV3700 through it's paces to see if dropping a couple of features will actually be a gain in value.

Sony KDL-46EX620 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
See the Video Review
Robert Wiley reviews this LED/LCD from Sony "We have discovered that we much prefer clear coat screens over their filtered anti-glare screen counterparts. The latter come with a few too many issues. One such is weak side viewing contrast which the EX620 suffers from. Another is lack of dark shadow detail in areas where there is glare. Overall, we were not overwhelmed by HD picture performance."

Samsung UN46D6300 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
See the Video Review
The D6300 is another in the extensive 6 series lineup of LED edge-lit LCD televisions. The picture quality is a strong highlight, especially for an edge-lit model and for the first time we weren't diving for the remote to shut off the 120Hz feature. It is decidedly better on the 2011 Samsung LEDs and this is the first year we don't recommend turning it off for all viewing. When viewing some sources it is noticeable but for the most part it's a huge improvement. Read More...
Samsung LN32D450 LCD TV Review
See the Video Review
One of Samsung's best selling TVs from 2010 was the predecessor LN32C450 LCD TV. No wonder they decided to replicate with production of the LN32D450 which has many of the same features. Upgrade features include SRS TruSurround HD, a third HDMI input, the ability to watch video off a USB thumb drive and Samsung's AnyNet+ which allows communication between similarly equipped Samsung home theater equipment.

Vizio E321VL LCD TV Review
See the Video Review
Vizio sells more small LCD TVs in the U.S. than any other manufacturer so it's worth putting one of these hot sellers which can be found at Costco, Sams Club or Target through some testing to find out what the consumer is getting. "Sources from non-HD programming look a bit dim with our calibrated picture settings. In Movie Picture mode we lost a lot of color and the picture appeared too dim and lifeless, however when switching to Standard Picture mode, the color saturation improved significantly..."

Samsung UN55C9000 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
The UNC9000 series is the top of the line from Samsung for 2010 – the most expensive and feature laden TV they make. The plethora of features includes 3D TV ready, wifi ready, super thin frame, extremely beautiful aesthetic appeal, Samsung's excellent Internet Apps choices, 240Hz refresh rate processing speed, A 2D to 3D conversion system, and a super cool touch screen remote control. But what are the drawbacks? How do these features perform? Read More...
Samsung UN65C6500 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
Color saturation is a strength of these new LED backlit Samsung LCDs. Colors are super vibrant even if on the unrealistic side at times. With color information both light and dark appearing so deeply saturated, contrast effect is excellent. Blacks appear inky and sometimes lose dark shadow detail. Read More...
LG 47LE8500 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
The LE8500 is loaded with extra features (some good, some not) and striking good looks. It is the next to highest end TV produced by LG for 2010 falling just below the LE9500 which has the simulated 480Hz rate that I cant imagine makes much difference. We enjoyed testing this high end offering and comment on Picture quality characteristics and almost all of the various features in the full review.

Samsung UN46C9000 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
How is the picture? Vibrant. The picture is super color saturated and bright with powerful lighting while maintaining good saturation in blacks. Supposedly one of the new features on the UN46CC9000 is the ability of the LED backlighting to totally turn off in certain areas, increasing black depth level. Blue tones from the LED edge lighting are slightly oversaturated in the C9000 as is overall saturation. Read More...
Samsung UN46C6300 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
At $1299 at online authorized retailers, this the 46C6300 costs $700 less than the 55C6300 and $200 less than the 46C6500 which has full Internet connectivity. That's the only difference in the two. So you will need to decide how important Internet connectivity is to you. The price point is good for a TV of this size, quality and wow factor. Read More...
Samsung LN46C750 LCD TV Review
The C750 series packs a strong punch with the new 3D TV compatibility feature combined with some of Samsung's best features from the past. Samsung isn't only producing LED backlit LCDs for 2010, the C750 line of CFL backlit LCDs contains many of the features of the more expensive LED TVs at a more affordable price. The C750 uses Samsung's 1080p, 240Hz "Ultra Clear" panel.

LG 55LE5500 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
The LE5500 has LG's new LED backlight with local dimming option. There is a control to enable on/off functionality of this option. The unit has the Clear Voice II feature for voice/dialog enhancement and LG's full Internet options. While we were not a fan of the TruMotion 240Hz feature in most circumstances, it will certainly standout for sports programming. The LE5500 does not have the thick single sheet of glass overlay extending from edge to edge that the higher end LED offerings have.

Samsung LN55C650 LCD TV Review
The C650 series from Samsung contains some older upgrade technology features such as CFL backlighting, 3.4" depth, Touch of Color bezel, 120Hz Auto Motion plus and the ultra clear panel. This model falls in the lower to mid range of Samsung's LCD/LED lineup. We thoroughly enjoyed last years B650 series LCD so were happy to review the successor model. And as anticipated, we were very pleased with the results.

Samsung LN32C450 LCD TV Review
Samsung's 2010 4 Series LCDs are a step up from the 3 series. Available in the same sizes they still feature a 60Hz, 720p, CFL backlit panel, with SRS TruSurround HD. They add a third HDMI input, the ability to watch video off a USB thumb drive and Samsung's AnyNet+ which allows communication between similarly equipped Samsung home theater equipment. The 4 Series LCD make for an excellent TV for the bedroom, a child's room or other rooms where you need a smaller, less expensive HDTV.

Samsung LN32C350 LCD TV Review
With our Blu Ray set to 720p resolution to match the TVs resolution we were very impressed at the bright sharp images and intense color offered. The TV really has a lot of pop with HD material. We also did not note the negative background judder with HD material and this proved out with our HD HQV processor testing as well. Black levels were deep and occasionally oversaturated but not often enough to really be a strike against. Dark shadow detail was totally acceptable for a TV of this size and price range.

Vizio VF552XVT LED Backlit LCD TV Review
The new VF552XVT from Vizio has the latest and greatest features that the company hopes will keep Vizio competing with the Tier 1 manufacturers. This series has LED local dimming backlighting, a 240Hz refresh rate (listed as 480Hz but that is back light manipulated spec), and a new black drive system. This is the second tier feature and price offering from Vizio for 2010/2011, the XVT Pro series Vizios are the step up from the XVT series.

Sony Bravia KDL-52EX700 LED Backlit LCD TV Review
The Sony KDL-52EX700 has its own private display in some prominent retail stores such as Best Buy. It's got the thin good looks Sony is counting on to impress with its great brightness on the showroom floor. In this review we delve deeply into the inner beauty of the TV as well to evaluate whether the internal processing and output match the aesthetics.
