Introduction

The Sharp 8K LCD was on display at the CES show floor as a proof of concept product that’s not close to being market ready. Ultra high-definition technology was prevalent throughout CES in 4K form, which is a budding technology itself, but this 85-inch, 8K TV is unique and a pipe dream for customers. It uses “Super Hi-Vision”, which was developed by the Japanese company NHK. Though this technology will be used in the 2012 London Olympics, don’t look for it anytime soon at your local TV retailer. There isn’t a great amount of information surrounding the Sharp 8K LCD, but we’ll take a look at what we saw from it at CES.

    Samsung PN51D6500

    The Samsung PN51D6500 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. Read full review

    Samsung UN46D6000

    Everyone wants a Smart TV, but how smart is buying the Samsung UN46D6000 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.
