Q. I carried a subscription for several years. At the end of last year I decided not to renew. I never got much use from it. Now I'm looking to buy a new television and I wish to know the top recommended in the 52 - 55" size range, but I don't want to buy another subscription. If you are current, please advise.
A. The last major test/review of TVs was in the March 2010 issue. Here are the top ratings:
LCD, 52 - 55 inches
1. LG 55LH90 full-matrix LED $2500
2. Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR10 edge-lit LED $4000
3. Toshiba Regza 55ZV650U CCFL LCD $2000
(15 total sets in the list.)
PLAZMA 50-55 inches
1. Samsung PN58B650 $1950
2. Panasonic Viera TC-P54Z1 $4000 (see note)
3. Panasonic Viera TC-P54V10 $2400
(9 sets in the list)
Note: #2 Panasonic plasma has a separate receiver console that connects to the display via a wireless link.
It should be noted that these tests were conducted about 5 - 6 months ago. Prices have probably come down since then and newer models may be out that are superior to one or more of these.

What tech is best for tvs today for the price: Plasma, LCD, etc?
Q. We currently have a Samsung 42" LCD that has been a problem so far. We have owned it for 5 years and have replaced the bulb once already - now it is out again. Looking to buy new TV, but am not sure about what to buy: Heard Plasma is the way to go, but want the newest tech too (smart, LCD, ETC)....any advice?
A. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tv, along with the pro and con of each technology. You will notice that Panasonic has more Plasma tv being recommended than any type of tv from other manufacturer. Panasonic was also named the best tv for 2010, VT series a plasma tv, while 2009 belong to Pioneer Elite KURO. Pioneer stopped producing Plasma tv in 2010 and those engineers are now working for Panasonic which reflect the new series of Plasma tv (GT and VT series with infinity black). I still have my first Plasma tv purchased in 2002, a Pioneer model 4330, also now have a Panasonic 50" and 65" Plasma tv. If you read yahoo questions, you will notice that 95% of tv problems are from LCD tv and 95% of those are the bargain price tv. Hope this will help you out.
