Panasonic’s Premiere TH-65VX100U plasma lives up to its name, but there's a high price tag attached. http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/hdtvs/3142/sanyo-plv-z700-front-projector.html Mon, 30 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EST

Samsung's new LCD HDTV shows that LCDs might just provide some stiff competition to plasma screens, the previous image quality and black-level champs. http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/hdtvs/3028/jvc-lt-47x899-47-inch-lcd-hdtv.html Wed, 29 Oct 2008 00:00:00 EST
JVC's new 47-inch LCD offers smooth 120 Hz action and a handy new menu system. But can the color match the motion? http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/hdtvs/3019/hitachi-p50x902-50-inch-plasma-hdtv.html Thu, 23 Oct 2008 00:00:00 EST
Hitachi's 50-inch P50X902 plasma sports an impressive picture and easy-to-use interface. But how does it fare against the reigning king of plasmas, Pioneer's Kuro? http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/hdtvs/2989/sony-bravia-kdl-46z4100-46-inch-lcd-hdtv.html Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:00:00 EST

Mitsubishi's new LT-46149 LCD sports far better sound than most HDTVs, thanks to a built-in 5.1 surround (simulated) soundbar. Its picture ain't too shabby, either. http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/hdtvs/2949/pioneer-elite-kuro-pro-111fd-50-inch-plasma-hdtv.html Thu, 21 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EST
