Sony Bravia KDL-40W5100 HDTV
The Sony 40W5100 isn’t just an HDTV with a very good picture--it’s a 40-inch window to the Internet.
LG 42LH55 HDTV
This 42-inch LG HDTV has solid picture quality, but it’s lean on extra goodies.
JVC LT-46J300
The $1100 price is right for a 46-inch HDTV, but disappointing image quality and poor design choices should make you think twice before buying the JVC LT-46J300.
Samsung LN40B650 HDTV
Thanks to its very good picture quality, Internet and home-network entertainment features, and general user-friendliness, the Samsung LN40B650 ranks as the best 40- to 42-inch HDTV we've tested this year.
Vizio SV421XVT
While it has a low price for a 42-inch, 240Hz HDTV, this Vizio set doesn’t create a great picture.
Vizio SV471XVT
For a 47-inch HDTV, the Vizio SV471XVT is priced nicely, and it is generally easy to use, but its picture quality is merely average.
