Samsung PN59D7000
The ($2,599 MSRP) is a stunning, high-end plasma TV fashioned by Samsung for 2011. It has 59 inches of great, 1080p picture quality, and as a second-generation plasma, it handles 3D reasonably well
10.0
$1,739.00
Samsung UN60D8000
The Samsung UN60D8000 retails for a whopping $4299 (MSRP). That's well over a $1000 more than the equivalently-sized plasma from Samsung that includes nearly all the same features
9.6
$2,684.00
Samsung UN46D6000
Everyone wants a Smart TV, but how smart is buying the for its $1299 MSRP? With its reasonably good performance in many categories and more internet features than you can shake an e-stick at, that question might be hard to answer if it weren't for this review
9.6
$966.99
LG 50PZ950
This 1080p plasma television with internet and 3D capabilities is purportedly the best LG has to offer in 2011
9.5
Samsung PN59D8000
The ($2,599 MSRP) is Samsung's flagship plasma TV for 2011. It certainly looks beautiful in brushed metal, but will this 1080p, 3D display live up to your hopes, dreams, and $2,000+ investment?
9.3
$1,829.99
Sony Bravia KDL-46HX729
The ($1709 MSRP) is a relatively high-end model in Sony's line-up. They certainly didn't skimp on the feature set: 3D display, a huge collection of streaming content, built-in WiFi, DLNA support, and a super-thin profile thanks to the LED edge-lighting
9.3
$1,399.94
Samsung PN51D6500
The is one of the best deals for a big screen plasma TV. The performance is strong in most regards and the weakness are endemic to plasma TVs, not with this model in particular
9.3
$988.00
Samsung UN46D6500
Though not Samsung's highest-end TV, the is quite good, and we're willing to bet that the special features and improved performance you might get in the more expensive D7000 and D8000 series will be lost on most customers. This LED-edgelit LCD television includes 3D display, built-in WiFi, and possibly the best "smart TV" interface on the market
9.2
$1,119.00
Sony Bravia XBR-46HX929
For approximately $2,500, you should be getting a gem of a television out of the Sony Bravia XBR-46HX929. We're not so sure about this one
9.1
$1,960.00
Panasonic Viera TC-P55VT30
The is the creme de la creme of Panasonic's 2011 line. If there's a feature Panasonic wants to promote this year, it's here: 3D display (glasses included), streaming content, WiFi, and perhaps their best design ever
9.1
$1,995.00
Samsung UN46C7100
The Samsung UN46C7100 ($2699 MSRP) is a slight variation on the C7000 series, which is the least expensive of the 2010 Samsungs to offer 3D display. This step-up model includes an upgraded sound system and two pairs of 3D glasses, not found on the C7000s
9.1
VIZIO E3D420VX
The offers streaming internet video and passive 3D imaging at an incredible price of $729. 99 (MSRP)
9.0
$648.00
Panasonic Viera TC-P50ST30
The Panasonic Viera TC-P50ST30 is a 50-inch plasma, and a second-gen 3D TV. There are several improvements this time around, but this TV has some issue that keep it back
9.0
$909.93
Sony Bravia KDL-55EX720
The Sony KDL-55EX720 is a second-gen, LED-edgelit TV. 3D is finally coming down in price, but we're still not sold on the whole headache & eyestrain thing
8.9
Panasonic Viera TC-P42GT25
The Panasonic TC-P42GT25 is among the least expensive 3D plasma TVs. And while we are decidedly not concluded that 3D is worth the bother, we have come to the conclusion that plasma screens do a better job of displaying 3D content
8.7
Samsung PN51D550
The is a well-equipped plasma with solid performance and features like 3D display and DLNA support, while maintaining a price point well below Samsung's top-of-the-line models. The elegant design and comfortable user interface certainly make it an appealing TV
8.6
$719.93
Sony Bravia KDL-55HX820
The Sony Bravia KDL-55HX820 is a high-end 3D LCD TV with a price tag to boot, but is it worth it? It has all the streaming features you could ever want in the year 2011, but who knows what the future holds?
8.6
LG 47LW5600
The LG 47LW5600 ($1699 MSRP) offers great color performance and an improved 3D experience from older-generation 3D TVs at a mid-range price with an extensive library of internet content
8.5
Sony Bravia KDL-46NX720
The is a 3D LCD TV with a mid-range price and an entry-level performance
8.2
VIZIO XVT3D424SV
The Vizio XVT3D424SV ($1399 MSRP) offers an average overall performance with 3D and internet capability to the consumer looking for a mid-range buy
8.2
$920.00
Samsung PN43D490
The Samsung PN43D490 is an odd one, to be sure, as it doesn't conform to any standard TV resolution. Everything has to be shrunk to fit the screen
8.1
$469.99
Sony Bravia KDL-55NX810
The Sony KDL-55NX810 ($2899) is a slender TV that has built-in wifi and comes prepared to handle 3D content. Once you factor in the cost of the glasses and transmitter, though, the KDL-55NX810 starts to look pretty over-priced
8.1
$1,899.89
Toshiba 32TL515U
From the moment we plugged in the ($999 MSRP), we had such a difficult time we'd gone so far as to schedule the TV for a replacement, assuming it was broken. As it turns out, this is just how the TV operates: sluggishly and ineptly
8.0
$628.99
LG 42LW5300
All things considered, for the price the LG 42LW5300 is not a bad entry-level TV. With good color performance, and among the best 3D color performance we've ever seen, you could do a lot worse than bringing this LCD TV home
7.7
$799.99
Toshiba 46WX800U
With its super-wide range of connectivity options, the Toshiba 46WX800U certainly looks the part of a high-end television, but performance hiccups like a mediocre to poor color performance keep it from competing with the best of the best this year
7.6
$1,086.99
