Samsung PN60F8500
60″ Top Tier Plasma TV 8.5/10 By Steve Holdgren This new mac-daddy plasma from Samsung is very different from last years offering. To me, it offers the most cinematic picture quality on the market. It has the best-in-the-market black levels (along with the Panasonic VT60 series) and a new imposing design. Rather than go minimalist [...]
Samsung UN65F7100
65″ LED TV 8.5/10 By Steve Holdgren The F7100 series from Samsung takes away some of the features of the F8000 listed above at a little better price. It does not have the camera built in, or the higher level of Micro Dimming available on the F8000. But it does have the same design elements [...]

Sony XBR-65X900A
65″ 4K LED TV 9/10 By Steve Holdgren OK so it’s not fair really to include this TV right? It’s got 4 times the resolution of the other TVs in the list. So it’s not HDTV but UHD (Ultra High Def). Prices have come down somewhat and the picture quality is outstanding as is the [...]
