Washington, D.C. (January 31, 2010) -- In advance of this month's Super Bowl and Winter Olympics, Consumer Reports has just issued its 'Best Buys' for High-Definition TVs.
The magazine says that the sets are not necessarily the most expensive or come with the largest screens.
"Whether you're a first time buyer or you want to upgrade your existing flat-panel, TV prices have never been better and they continue to fall," says Paul Reynolds, Electronics Editor of Consumer Reports. "It's not always best to go for the least-expensive model; we've found that some features are worth the extra-cost."
The Consumer Reports ratings can be found in its March issue.
In the LCD category, Consumer Reports labels the following sets with the 'Best Buy' designation.
