Bulbs? I don't need no stinkin' bulbs. Especially bulbs with short lives and long TV boot up times. LEDs are promised to be the next big thing, well that and lasers.

Phillips has introduced a couple of new TVs to market with sexy 1080p upgrades. I'll save you the model names, they look more like California license plat numbers then model numbers, however, I will give you a few of the features to look forward to. The 47" LCD and 60" plasma will have HDMI inputs, and the plasma will playback […]

The 61" HL-S6187W 1080p DLP from Samsung weighs in at a very light $2999. For this price you get dual HDMI connections, the other usual suspects in the connection department and a very nice 10,000:1 contrast ration. Yowza!
