The Westinghouse W4207 might not include a tuner, but for cable and satellite users who want high-def for less it’s a tremendous bargain.

Although it has enough features for most folks, the less-expensive Maxent MX-5020HPM can’t keep up with the picture quality of the competition.

While we had some complaints about its picture quality, the Philips 42PF9631D’s built-in backlight and sweet style will appeal to people who want something different.

With a built-in backlight, attractive looks, and a decent picture, the Philips 37PF9631D makes a case for spending a bit more.

One of the best overall LCDs we’ve tested, the Samsung LN-S4096D delivers very good picture quality along with plenty of features and style.

Although its features can’t compete against typical consumer plasmas, the “professional” Panasonic TH-50PH9UK’s excellent picture quality and price make it the best value at this size, bar none.

Although more expensive than most similarly sized HDTVs on the market, the stylish Sony KDL-46XBR2 delivers one of the best pictures we’ve ever seem from an LCD flat-panel.

Anchored by great connectivity, the Hitachi 42HDS69 competes well against other 42-inch plasmas in both price and picture quality.

The Vizio L42 HDTV leads the affordable big-screen LCD charge while managing to produce a perfectly acceptable picture.
