Pioneer Kuro PDP-5020FD Plasma TV
PC Magazine calls the 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... more
LG 32LG40 32" Flat Panel TV with DVD Player
Ever notice how manufacturers never show DVD players, cable boxes, and other electronic clutter next to their sleek, flat-screen TVs? Because all that 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... more
Westinghouse 37" HDTV-Ready LCD TV
The March issue of Wired magazine has a round-up of the best hi-def TVs. The "cheap thrill" is Westinghouse's 37" LCD TV, which they call "the most affordable way to get into 1,080p." The TV has a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 (enough to display every detail of HDTV), but you'll have to provide your own TV tuner.
Leg Magic Exercise Machine
As seen on TV: The Leg Magic exercise machine, an adjustable fitness tool that helps you strengthen your butt, thighs (inner and outer), and abs by using gravity and a lateral gliding motion. The handle is for balance (and for pretending you're on "Wagon Train"). Supposedly you only use this machine for 60 seconds at a time, several times a day, to see results in a few weeks. It comes with a workout DVD... more
Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800U
Imagine watching the Celtics beat the Lakers on this glorious 50" plasma HDTV from Panasonic. CNET calls it "one of the best-performing HDTVs available" because of its great black-level performance and stellar picture quality. The THX Display Certification feature "adds THX's rigorous standards for image performance and quality, ensuring a superb cinematic experience at home." Other highlights include a PC input and 3 HDMI inputs, an antireflective screen, and a built-in SD card slot.... more
Sony XEL-1 OLED TV
No that's not the latest iMac, it's the new Sony OLED flat panel TV. OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) technology is "the next big thing in television technology" because it a) can make for a 3-millimeter thick TV, b) has a lightning-fast response time, c) produces absolute black levels and extraordinary contrast, and d) is energy-efficient. So what's the downside, you ask? Well, this 11" TV costs $2500 and doesn't offer HD resolution, but... more
Samsung LN52A650 LCD TV
The latest recipient of a CNET Editors' Choice award, the Samsung LN52A650 is a thing of beauty. This 52" LCD HDTV (1080p) stands out for its dark red frame, excellent black-level performance, and wealth of features. In addition to 4 HDMI inputs, 2 component video inputs, a PC input, multiple picture modes and controls, and a 120Hz refresh rate, the TV has an ethernet port, so it can display Internet news, local weather, and... more
Samsung PN50A550 50-inch Plasma HDTV
Is there any way we can legally write off the cost of a big-screen TV on next year's tax return? Because we're getting mighty tired of the 20" rear projection monsters we have at home. And we're fantasizing about watching The Wire box set later this year on this new 50" plasma TV from Samsung. Plasma still produces better images than LCDs, and this 1080p one has great color accuracy, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio... more
Samsung FP-T5084 Plasma HDTV
Looking for a 50" plasma HDTV with 1080p resolution? Consider the Samsung FP-T5084. CNET calls it "excellent," saying its "picture stands up well against some tough competition." Features of the TV include inputs galore, with 3 HDMI inputs (2 on the back and 1 on the side); a PC input so you can watch TV and work at the same time (and by "work" we mean send IMs); complete controls for color temperature; and... more
Panasonic TH-50PZ700U 50-inch Plasma HDTV
It's one thing when the kid at Best Buy tells you a certain plasma TV is the "best." But it's quite another when Consumer Reports calls a TV "the best flat-panel TV we've tested so far." The editors at the magazine (whose annual electronics issue hit newsstands yesterday) are talking about the 50" 1080p Panasonic TH-50PZ700U plasma HDTV, raving that "(p)icture quality is outstanding, raising the bar for the whole category." The TV also... more
Samsung LN-T4665F LCD HDTV
If you're looking for a big, flat-screen TV with full 1080p resolution, consider the 46" Samsung LN-T4665F. You name it, it's got it: Built-in HDTV tuner, 3 HDMI inputs, a USB 2.0 port, a PC input, picture-in-picture, V-Chip parental controls, and even an auto volume leveler to prevent volume fluctuations (so the screaming used car dealer won't wake you up if you've dozed off on your couch). The only downside is the shiny screen... more
Sharp LC-32D43U
CNET says the overall picture quality of the 32" Sharp LC-32D43U HDTV is "among the best LCDs of its size," making it a good choice for people reluctant to shell out thousands of dollars for massive flat screen TVs. The TV has a built-in HDTV tuner, 2 HDMI inputs and a PC input, and two 10-watt speakers, plus V-Chip parental controls so you can keep your kids from being exposed to inappropriate programming (they... more
Panasonic TH-42PZ700U 42-inch Plasma HDTV
Panasonic claims its TH-42PZ700U HDTV "is a contender for best 42" picture available." CNET takes it one step further than that, saying the TV "offers the best picture quality in its size class." What's so awesome about it? Panasonic touts its native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (1080p), the highest resolution available today (and the only 42" plasma with 1080p), while CNET lauds its deep blacks with excellent shadow detail, clean image, and... more
Samsung HP-T5064 50-inch Plasma HDTV
This new 50" Samsung plasma HDTV's picture quality is as good as that of the highly-rated Panasonic TH-50PX77U. The Samsung HP-T5064 has built-in analog and digital tuners, 7 A/V inputs, a PC input, and a side USB port for digital photo and MP3 playback - basically everything but the ability to make "Stomp the Yard" a good movie. Watch it on the included swivel stand, or mount it on a wall (the TV... more
Panasonic TH-50PX77U 50-inch Plasma TV
Watch the rest of the NBA playoffs on this 50" Panasonic plasma TV. CNET gave it high marks for its stylish design, deep blacks, excellent shadow detail, and antiglare screen. The TV has a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 (enough for 720p HDTV), ATSC tuner (but no CableCard), and lots of inputs, including an SD card slot for viewing your photos on the big screen. But look elsewhere if you must have PC... more
Sharp Aquos LC-46D62U 46" LCD TV
You don't have to sacrifice deep, dark colors when you get a flat panel TV. With a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, this 46" Sharp Aquos LCD HDTV has the "best black-level performance of any non-CRT" that the CNET editors have tested - plasma, LCD, or rear-projection. The TV also has 1080p native resolution (the highest available), a built-in HD tuner, dual HDMI inputs, and bottom-mounted speakers. It even has a room-lighting sensor that automatically adjusts... more
Hitachi 42HDS69
How does a 42-inch Hitachi plasma TV for less than $1800 sound? It sounds pretty good to us, given its feature set: CableCard slot and built-in ATSC tuner, 3 HDMI inputs, swivel stand, picture-in-picture, and 1,024 x 1,080 resolution. The speakers are mounted on the side of the TV, which makes it a bit wider, and there's no PC input, but we can live with that, since the TV has accurate color decoding.
Elgato EyeTV 250 Digital TV Recorder for Macs
Think of the EyeTV 250 as TiVo for Mac lovers. This iPod-sized digital TV recorder lets you watch, pause, and rewind full screen TV programming right on your Mac. You can record TV shows onto your Mac's hard drive (bye bye, VCR), schedule recordings in advance, and export your recordings to your iPod. It will even walk you through the process of digitizing all your old VHS tapes. Next step: Imagine replacing that clunky... more
Inflatable Backyard Theater Screen
Create a drive-in movie experience in your back yard with an inflatable home theater by Sima. Inflate the 8- or 12-foot screen in minutes with the included powered air pump, connect the two weatherized outdoor amplified speakers (100W for the 8-foot model; 120W for the 12-foot one), and you're ready to go. Made out of durable, weatherproof PVC, the screen secures to the ground for steady viewing, deflates for easy storage, and works with... more
Panasonic TH-42PX60U
With a built-in HD tuner, generous connectivity with two HDMI inputs, 16:9 aspect ratio, 1,024 x 768 native resolution, and SD card slot for displaying digital photos, this Panasonic TV "sets the standard for value among full-featured 42-inch plasmas," according to the CNET editors. It doesn't have picture-in-picture or any PC inputs, but the picture quality is good and the price tag is reasonable. Compare prices on the 50" version of this TV.... more
