Akai TV, HDTV Reviews

We've analyzed 4015 TV and have classified them into low-end, mid-range and high-end groups.

Browse through reviews below to find the top TV.

Here are some quick tips when buying TV:

Rear projection TVs offer more viewing area for the buck but picture quality is not quite as good as Plasma or LCD TVs.
Plasmas have deeper blacks and warmer colors but suffer from glare.
LCDs are crisper, brighter, and weigh less than Plasma TVs.
You will want to sit about 4 feet away from a 27 display and 7 feet away from a 50 display.
If you want High Definition, then get at least 1080i thats the current HD programming coming in over the air or cable.
If you plan on getting an HD DVD or a Blu-ray DVD player, then get 1080p.
Better (higher) contrast ratios mean blacker blacks and whiter whites although many claims by vendors are inflated

shopping.yahoo says: TV is a bargain as a table top set...The four threaded holes on the back of the TV are a combination of Standard and Metric, two of which will NOT be found in the USA unless you have them custom machined...Consider it a deal if you are OK with not mounting it...see more
