LG 55LH90 LCD HDTV First Impressions Review The LG 55LH90 is one of LG's new LED backlit HDTVs with 240Hz refresh rate that should improve motion performance.
LG 55LH85 LCD HDTV First Impressions Review Like the top of the line LHX the 55LH85 sports Wireless HD features, allowing you to keep the cable clutter away from the back of your HDTV but lacks some other features.	LG 42LH50 LCD HDTV First Impressions Review The LH50 line features LG's new NetCast online streaming service. This includes access to Amazon's Video on Demand Service, Youtube and Yahoo Widgets.
LG 60PS80 Plasma HDTV First Impressions Review LG's 60PS80 is at the top of their new line of Plasma televisions featuring their NetCast service. Netcast gives users to a variety of online features via a direct ethernet connection. Featured are Netflix streaming and Yahoo Widgets.

There are a few omissions, however, including internet access via Netcast and the Media Director Feature for automatically adjusting video and audio features.
LG 42LH20 LCD HDTV First Impressions Review The LG 42LH20 is one of LG's lower-end 720p sets. We expect this range will be available for a more comfortable price than the higher-end LG models with full 1080p resolution and other extras like internet connectivity and 240Hz refresh rate. It does retain the striking styling of LG's other TVs, however.

Sharp Aquos LC-52XS1U-S LCD HDTV First Impressions Review Sharp's Limited Edition lineup was announced late last year, but it still packs a whallop with a thin profile, 120Hz refresh rate and stylish looks. The price point also packs a whallop at $12,000.

Sharp LC-65E77U LCD HDTV First Impressions Review The LC-65E77U is big, 65-inches big. You're going to pay for that size, however, as the price comes in at $4,499, almost twice as much as the 52-inch model. You will get a full 1080p resolution on that big display, however, and 120Hz refresh rate for improved motion.

Sony Bravia KDL-40S5100 LCD HDTV First Impressions Review The KDL-40S5100 lacks the high-end refresh rates and LED backlights found on other Sony models, but it does still provide a full 1080p resolution. Our big question is whether the price will fall commesurately with the lack of features compared to higher-end models.
Sony KLV-40ZX1M LCD HDTV First Impressions Review The KLV-40ZX1M is stylish, and offers some high-end features like LED backlighting. The thing that concerns us is the necessity to buy an additional box for up to $800 if you want more than 1 HDMI port.	Sony XEL-1 OLED HDTV First Impressions Review The only OLED television available for purchase the XEL-1 has a modest screen size (11 inches), only two HDMI inputs and a price of $2500.
