Introduction

The Sylvania LD370SC8 is an inexpensive entry-level LCD HDTV. The set doesn’t have great picture quality or audio, but it does have a DVD player. Unfortunately, even though it’s inexpensive, its flaws outweigh its price.

You can find the Sylvania LD370SC8 for about $429.99.

Samsung UN32D5500 LED LCD HDTV Review

The D5500 has a rather high MSRP of $699, considering it’s only a 32-inch TV. There are some “premiums upgrades,” a term we use with some dubiousness, knowing that these features can be far less valuable than they appear. Nevertheless, at its core this is a good television. If you can find it a significantly reduced price it would make a great addition to a home theater. Read More...

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. Read full review

The LG 42LV5500 is packed with a lot of fun features that may sound good, but can distract from what a TV is supposed to do: deliver a good picture. Fortunately, the color performance cannot be beat. Read full review
