Expert HDTV Advice from Our Editors
If you're looking to buy a high-definition flat-screen plasma or LCD TV in time for the All-Star Game, now's a great time to be in the hunt: Last year's models are being closed out, and this year's models are coming to store shelves. You'll be pleased to find formerly high-end features have migrated to mainstream sets. Fast refresh rates of 120Hz are now more common in lower-cost HDTVs; such refresh rates make for smoother viewing of fast action and panning scenes. PC World also has up-to-date ratings and rankings of all the major TV categories and sizes, whether you need a 40-inch set for a smaller room, or a 55-incher to wow your guests. Be sure to consult our chart rankings, where we provide test results on picture and sound quality on all the newest sets, and pick the best in each size category based on our performance tests and hands-on experiences. 32" LCD's
