The Best Budget LCD TV and Plasma TVs: Our Picks
Check out our top picks for affordable HDTVs that offer extraordinary quality and reasonable prices. Believe it: it's possible to get a great, affordable HDTV without sacrificing too much.
| The Samsung LN-32A450 is a 37-inch HDTV that has no frills and a really appealing price tag. Online, this TV can be found for incredibly low prices at a few merchants, with most prices occupying the $600-700 range. In either case, that's a great deal for a big-screen television from a big-name brand like Sony. It not only has three HDMI inputs for best-quality connections to your HD accessories, it also provides a better-than-average response time of 6ms, meaning your high-action programs won't be cursed by blurring or streaking. Just smooth sailing at a low price. | |
| The Sharp AQUOS LC-37D43U is probably one of the more appealing deals we've seen as we enter the holiday season. This 37-inch HDTV offers a beautiful big-screen display but doesn't try to rob you blind. We've seen prices for this television for as low as $500 online, though typically merchants have it in the $600-700 range. Not bad for a TV of this size and pedigree. It may not have all the bells and whistles that a more expensive television might, but it's got everything you need to enjoy HDTV in the comfort of your own living room, and a brand name that has a reputation for reliability and high-quality products. | |

50-inch Plasma |
The Panasonic Viera TH-50PX80U is a whole lot of TV: 50-inches worth; yet in spite of its tremendous size, it's not very expensive at all. With deals around $1,000, this affordable plasma is an excellent option for consumers who want to save money but also get a high-quality, big-screen HDTV. Plasma technology isn't as hot as LCD is right now, but don't let the hype fool you. Plasmas are still excellent alternatives to LCD, and in some cases (particularly when it comes to rendering accurate black colors), exceed LCDs in picture quality. |
