Five Eye-Catching (Affordable) HDTVs

We're always looking out for interesting or impressive HDTVs. These five, big-screen sets each have some truly stunning features, yet won't completely bankrupt you. Take a look at what we've put together.

Everyone would love to have a big screen, high-definition television, but for many, the perceived cost of these sets can be discouraging. Part of the problem is that many media outlets often focus on eye-poppingly exorbitant models, like the
Sony KDL-70XBR3 , a 70-inch LCD TV that retails for about $30,000. Those are fun to look at, but if you're not on the Fortune 500, it's probably not going to happen.

Well, despite what you might have read, HDTVs can be quite affordable, and the prices drop every day. We've collected five of our favorite big-screen HDTVs, all 46-inches and above, that can be had for under $2,000. There's nothing wrong with these TVs. They aren't refurbished or broken, they aren't missing essential features or lacking in quality. These are excellent HDTVs from superior brands.
