3. Samsung HL61A750
Editors' rating: 8.0
The good: Excellent screen size-to-price ratio; solid black-level performance; very accurate color, with minor tweaking; plenty of connectivity options.
The bad: No dot-by-dot aspect ratio mode; no 2:3 pulldown for standard-def sources; as with all rear-projection sets, off-angle performance is poor.
The bottom line: Samsung's HL61A750 61-inch rear-projection HDTV delivers excellent overall picture quality, and, compared to flat-panel options, it's a real bargain.
