Best HDTVs Under $1000 6

Philips 42PFL3603D
42-inch LCD 1080p
$748 at Target
WHAT'S A DEAL: Top-of-the-line 1080p resolution; sexy modern design with rounded edges; accurate color.
WHAT'S THE CATCH: The sound is lackluster, but our main beef is that all of the inputs are on the back of the unit, which means it'll be tough to hang this unit on the wall unless you feel comfortable taking it down every time you want to adjust your component configuration.
BOTTOM LINE: This TV has topnotch visuals for less than $800 and will appeal to anyone who is concerned with home aesthetics. Also, we'd only recommend it to folks with decent home theater systems, since the speakers are crap.

I looked up some of the televisions on this list and they have at least a $100 difference than quoted here. For instance, the 42-inch LCD 720p $799.99 at BestBuy is actually $899.99, the Philips 42-inch LCD 1080p $748 at Target is actually $899.99 as well. I think you should do a little more research then accurately disclose these types of differences in prices in addition to some of the "bargain" televisions that you've found.

You unprofessional choice of descriptive terms, the use of the word "crap", to describe the quality of the sound system, sends a very clear message of your lack of ethical and professional standards. I would not rely on any of your recommendations since you don't seem to care enought to choose your words correctly or perhaps are too lazy to look up similar descriptive terms that are more acceptable to most users of the english language. Or perhaps you do not even know how to communicate in a professional manner. In any event, your poor chiice of words is distressing. How can AOL stay in business with illiterates like you providing "recommendations"?????

You should have done a little more research is right. You can get a Sceptre 46 inch 1080P lcd for 899.99 or a 32 inch 1080P lcd for 449.99 at Costco. I have the 46 inch and the picture is superior to my 50 inch plasma.

This a terrible article. The Best Buy Dynex has 8ms response and picture does not compare to others not much more expensive. What happened to quality in the analysis. You are recommending that people buy crud.
