The Sony BRAVIA KDL40W4100 has a amazing picture. The screen is glossy but still manages to keep glare down. The blacks are black and the color scale is rich and vibrant. Motion blur is at a minimum on this set, especially with the 120Hz frame interpolation enabled. This is a very nice HDTV that would make any family room proud.

Samsung’s A630 LCDs are 2009’s replacement for the A550 series, seeing as 60Hz sets are becoming obsolete. The A630’s are excellent LCD’s which picture quality (in contrast/blacks mostly) just shy of 2008’s A650/A750 line. I’m predicting because of their top-notch quality and lower price (lower than the A850 line atleast), the A630s are going to be the most popular HDTVs of 2009.

The Samsung T260HD is hands down the best 26″ HDTV on the market. With its 10,000:1 contrast ratio it offers a stunning picture and is perfect for doubling as a display for your computer/laptop. The T260HD is the best HDTV for someone with limited room but doesn’t want to sacrifice quality.
This TV is ideal for a home office, bedroom or dorm room.

Did I mention a LCD display for a computer of this size and quality will cost you more than the Samsung T260HD?

Insignia is BestBuy’s house brand of HDTV, so the quality isn’t going to be the best, but the price is going to be about as low as you can go. Despite being a house-brand, Insignia NS-PDP50HD-09 reportedly has an excellent picture with everything else (sound, picture controls, inputs) being fairly basic. This would be a great HDTV for your average TV buyer that doesn’t need anything special besides a good picture. Also, this HDTV is great for video games (Xbox 360, Wii, PS3).

The Samsung LN52A850 is the next step up from the A650/A750 lines. The LN52A850 has amazing contrast (50,000:1), a very slim form (2″ thick) and a ultra-fast 4ms response time for eliminating motion blur when used with its Auto Motion Plus technology. The A850 is reported to be a bit brighter than the A750.

Samsung’s A850 is well on its way to being 2009’s most popular and best big screen LCD HDTV.

The Toshiba 52XV545U is my new favorite HDTV of the season and here’s why: 1080p for an ultra-crisp picture, 120Hz for motion-blur reduction, 5:5 pulldown for Blu-ray playback, SRT for upconverting SD TV signals, and it sports a simple yet elegant black frame. As a complete package, this is the best HDTV of 2008-2009.

Heck, I like it so much I bought one!

Hi all - everything HDTV is back in action bringing you the best deals on the best HDTVs everyday. I am still working out some kinks here and there and fixing some design issues but i’ll be posting new deals every day and working on new/clarifying old sections on the HDTV Buyer’s Guide.
