It has a good contrast, good color response despite a slightly wonky color temperature, and surprisingly little motion blur. The big downsides are artifacting issues and screen uniformity. http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Samsung-UN40C7000-UN46C7000-UN55C7000-3D-LED-LCD-HDTV-Review-1620.htmThe Panasonic TC-P50VT20 is the second 3D HDTV to hit the scene, but it\'s actually showing up with all the necessary gear: it\'s currently being offered as a bundle with a set of 3D glasses and a 3D-capable Blu-ray player. While this bundle makes the TC-P50VT20 the best option for 3D if you need to have it right this second, we\'d think it might be smarter to give the first wave of this technology a pass. http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Panasonic-TC-P50VT20-3D-Plasma-HDTV-Review-1615.htm Televisioninfo.com is currently in possession of the only two commercially available 3D HDTVs in the country, the Samsung UN55C7000 and the Panasonic TC-P50VT20. Much to the chagrin of our editors (and anyone else that bought them), the Samsung does not come with the necessary 3D glasses. So what\'s the workaround?http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Most-expensive-possible-hack-for-getting-Panasonic-3D-glasses-to-work-with-Samsung-3D-TV-1608.htmWe\'ve just got our first 3D HDTV in for testing: the Panasonic TC-P50VT20. We\'ll be testing this HDTV over the next few days, so watch this space! In the meantime, here are a few photos of this TV and the 3D glasses that make it work. http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/3D-HDTV-is-in-the-house-1606.htmThe Toshiba Regza 42ZV650U ($1299 MSRP) is designed to be a television for enthusiasts that\'s also inexpensive for those on a budget. The Toshiba 42ZV650U, a 42-inch LCD, is jam-packed with special features for tweaking color, motion, and processing. Most of these features can do more damage than good, but tech heads will enjoy creating the elusive "perfect setting." http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Toshiba-Regza-42ZV650U-LCD-HDTV-Review-1601.htm The Sony KDL-46EX700 is the first of the 2010 models we\'ve gotten in, and if it\'s any indication, this is going to be a good year for HDTVs. It\'s not that the KDL-46EX700 offers that much more than its predecessors, and it isn\'t nearly as feature-packed as some of the other TVs we saw at CES, but it does boast  solid improvements in almost every area. The KDL-46EX700 is currently available for about $1700.http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Sony-KDL-46EX700-KDL-32EX700-KDL-40EX700-KDL-52EX700-KDL-60EX700-LCD-HDTV-Review-1592.htm The LG 50PQ30 is an entry-level plasma with a 50-inch screen and 1080p resolution. Even though it\'s a lower end set, the 50PQ30 got some decent test scores. While the TV is very light on the features, it\'s incredibly inexpensive for its size: $798.99. http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/LG-42PQ30-50PQ30-Plasma-HDTV-Review-1588.htmThe Sylvania LC321SSX (approx. $329) is an entry level LCD television. The fact that its limited to a 720p resolution is not surprising at this price range, but the surprisingly inability to even support 1080p content is a red flag indicator that all may not be well. TVs like this can be a bargain, as long as you know what you\'re getting. http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Sylvania-LC321SSX-LC320SSX-LCD-HDTV-Review-1580.htmIt\'s no secret that in the weeks leading up to Superbowl Sunday, television sales skyrocket. It\'s by far the single largest sporting event in the US and everyone wants to have the biggest, baddest TV for their Superbowl party. But what kind of HDTV will make a big difference for the big game? Here\'s the guide for your ultimate sports HDTV.http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Ultimate-Sports-HDTV-Buying-Guide-1568.htmThe Vizio VW32L (approx. $389) is an inexpensive 720p LCD HDTV. It's certainly not going to wow you with its looks or performance, but this little TV had a few pleasant surprises for an entry-level set.http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Vizio-VW32LW-VW37LW-LCD-HDTV-Review-1561.htmThe LG LE9500 certainly has some nice features working in its favor. It\'s got local dimming, 480Hz TruMotion, NetCast (online features), DLNA, wireless broadband ready capability, wireless HD ready, 2 USB ports, and it\'s 3D ready. Sadly, there isn\'t any info available yet about pricing or release dates.http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/LG-47LE9500-55LE9500-LED-LCD-HDTV-First-Impressions-Review-1554.htmThe Sony KDL-32EX308 is an unusual display. Priced at about $530 and available in March, it\'s one of the few displays at this size and price that offers internet connectivity. So, it will probably appeal to gadget fans on a budget; it has the useful features (such as internet streaming) of its larger cousins, but without the budget-busting price tag.http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Sony-KDL-22EX308-KDL-32EX308-LCD-HDTV-First-Impressions-Review-1550.htmThe 60PK950 is LG\'s top-of-the-line plasma TV for early 2010. While more attention seems to have been paid to their LED televisions, the PK950 series features a robust internet package and (most likely) 3D display. We\'re not expecting them to be cheap, but they sure are appealing.http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/LG-50PK950-60PK950-Plasma-HDTV-First-Impressions-Review-1543.htmThe Samsung LN46C550 is a middle-of-the-road LCD television that doesn\'t debut much in the way of technology, but should be a solid choice for a living room TV at an affordable price. Of course, Samsung was mum on a lot of the details and the pricing, but considering last year\'s model (the LN46B550) retailed at $1299, we\'re expecting it to start at a few hundred below that, with considerable retailer discounts by the summer.http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Samsung-LN32C550-LN37C550-LN40C550-LN46C550-LCD-HDTV-First-Impressions-Review-1541.htmThe Samsung LN60C650 is a mid-level LCD television that offers only a sprinkling of improvements over the previous generation. That\'s not necessarily a bad thing. Our review of its predecessor praised it for great performance and a strong set of features. Our only hesitation was the price, and though pricing on the 2010 models has not been announced, we can only assume that prices will continue to fall on conventional CCFL LCDs. Read on for the details we were able to wrench from Samsung about the C650 series.http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Samsung-LN40C650-LN46C650-LN55C650-LN60C650-LCD-HDTV-First-Impressions-Review-1536.htmThe KDL-60NX800 is one of Sony\'s new models for 2010, which was announced at CES. It will be available in February and will be priced at about $4000. That\'s a little higher than a typical price for a TV of this size, but this HDTV does have a pretty broad feature set: 240Hz motion processing, support for streaming video and audio, and a good selection of connections.http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Sony-Bravia-KDL-60NX800-KDL-46NX800-KDL-52NX800-LCD-HDTV-First-Impressions-Review-1534.htmImagine a TV with no wires. You\'re talking about WiFi, right? No, we mean no wires, at all. Haier, the Chinese company better known as an appliance manufacturer, is showcasing a new technology here at CES that conducts electricity wireless to the TV, as well as streaming content. The TV is pretty far from production at this point, but it\'s among the more amazing things we\'ve seen at the show. Here\'s an in-depth look at the technology and how it might be implemented in future products.http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Technology-Preview-Haier-Completely-Wireless-Television-1518.htmThe TC-P54G25 is a 54-inch Plasma HDTV from Panasonic. It has most of the same features as Panasonic\'s VT25 line--including Viera Cast, video call with Skype capability, and THX certification--except it doesn\'t support 3D technology. If you\'re looking for a new HDTV, but you don\'t have any interest in 3D, the G25 series should fit your needs. The G20 series from Panasonic has nearly identical features to the G25 series. The only difference is the G20 TVs cannot connect to a network camera wirelessly, using Viera Cast.http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Panasonic-TC-P54G25-LCD-HDTV-First-Impressions-Review-1515.htmThe KDL-32BX300 takes Sony to an interesting new place: a price point of under $500 for a 32-inch HDTV. That makes this new model one of the cheaper 32-inch HDTVs out there. What your  $500 gets you is a basic, but decent looking display. This display will be available in March.http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Sony-Bravia-KDL-32BX300-LCD-HDTV-First-Impressions-Review-1513.htmThe LG 55LE7500 is a 55-inch LED edge-lit LCD television. Positioned as the second-highest teir series, the LE75000s are likely to be strong performers, but they lack the 3D bells and whistles of the LE9500 series. Are we still supposed to get excited about LED backlighting?!http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/LG-55LE8500-LED-LCD-HDTV-First-Impressions-Review-1504.htm
