eiww, i wonder how they came up with the list. looks like they put 15 model numbers in a hat and picked 10.

 

[Wooterz]

That list is complete ****. The XBR4/5 blow all those tv's out of the water. They're telling me t hat HP plasma is number 3? Give me a break.

 

[CHRISGEOFROMGREE]

I agree not only the XBR4 there are much better tv's than 4061F to be the first

 

[drivendriver]

I'm surprised by how well the Vizios performed. I guess Vizio carefully picks and calibrates its review samples. Because I see Vizios almost every week at Costco, and many of the display models have either a color tint problem, or a washed out, greyish, hazy image.

Price was probably an important consideration, as the W3000 rating seems to show.

 

[gvan1998]

price and quality was a factor
