Panasonic TX-L47DT50 3D LED HDTV Review

Panasonic TX-L47DT50 3D LED HDTV Review

Panasonic’s new flagship LCD TV for 2012, the WT50 series. But at Panasonic’s recent product convention in Hamburg, our eye was also caught by the step-down LCD model from the WT50, the DT50 series. So we spent as much time as we could glued to the 47in L47DT50 - and came away feeling as if it could actually be this model that marks Panasonic’s most successful LCD series for 2012.

Philips 46PFL9706T LCD - 3D HDTV Review

The 46PFL9706T produces 2D pictures that are prime contenders for the best we've ever seen from a flat TV. It also looks gorgeous and is stuffed to bursting point with features. Some 3D crosstalk and input lag stop it short of perfection, though.

On paper the new SteelSeries Sensei hits all of these crucial areas and appears to be a gaming enhancement peripheral worthy of accolades.

Toshiba 32SL415U LCD HDTV Review

The full-featured Toshiba 32SL415U is a solid small screen HDTV, but with a list price close to $600, it's also a fairly expensive one. For a smaller screen, the 32SL415U serves up plenty of features. It can access Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, and other streaming media services and Web apps through its built-in Wi-Fi connection. It has a light sensor and a smart dimming feature that adjusts the screen based on the brightness of the room. It has four HDMI ports and a PC port, making it capable as both a home entertainment display and a computer monitor. What's missing? There's no 3D support, and the max 720p resolution is lower than the 1080p standard for larger screens, but at this size, it's not a problem. Also, the screen's refresh rate is just 60Hz, though we often recommend disabling 120Hz and higher "motion" modes anyway.
