I came across both TV reviews around the same time so figured I'd post them together. One is a Westinghouse 46" 1080i LCD, and the other a more modest Toshiba REGZA 37" LCD TV. Both will cost around $2000, but it looks like the Toshiba's reviewers like theirs more than the Westinghouse. The LTV-46w1 features a 46" viewing […]

Back when I used to sell HDTV's (a long time ago) I was always surprised how many people came into the store with ZERO knowledge of HDTV's but ended up buying a $2k TV (with of course the $400 service plan ;-P).

Of course, not all TV's are created equal. […]

Their newest technology aims to keep the volume consistent when going from different inputs or even from a commercial to the show.

Read moreI am not to sure what to say about this.. Is there really a need for 2160p resolution at this point? It isn't really useful for a HTPC desktop. It will be years before anything content is made in this resolution. I would guess this display would sell well in certain industries needing higher resoltuion monitors. At any rate, you […]
