Pioneer Kuro PDP-5020FD 50" plasma TV "the best HDTV you can get," in part because the 1080p TV "delivers the best picture contrast of any HDTV available" and a "shoo-in" for their Editors' Choice award. CNET agrees, saying "Best-in-class black levels and excellent all-around performance places the Pioneer PDP-5020FD near the top of the picture quality heap." The TV has 4 HDMI inputs, 1 PC input, an antireflective screen, and lets you stream photos, music, and video over your home network. The MSRP is a staggering $4000, but you can get it for less than $2500 online. More Pioneer Kuro TVs.]]>

stuff takes away from the minimalist look of the TVs. We're fantasizing about how much nicer our "entertainment center" would look with the 32" LG 32LG40 and its built-in, slot-loading DVD player on the side of the screen. The 720p TV also has an HD tuner, 3 HDMI inputs, a PC input, and comprehensive color temperature controls. More LG flat panel TVs.]]>

novelty televisions. Our favorite is the firetruck TV, shown here, with a 9.6" LCD screen and a remote that looks like a fireman, but we also like the frog, sports, and the Buzz Lightyear versions. More great gifts for kids.]]>
