The 10 Best HDTVs

Whether you want a top-end ultra-thin LED with 3D, a budget-friendly plasma set, or something in between, we've got a top-rated television for you.
Given the rapid evolution of the HDTV over the past few years, it's hard to believe that many of us rang in the new century watching bulky, standard-definition tube TVs. Since then, old-school CRTs have made way for slicker, multitalented high-definition sets that can do a lot more than just bring your favorite crime drama or reality show to your living room in HD every week. But with new technologies and a wider array of features, there's a lot more to decide when you're shopping for a new HDTV.
First you need to figure out which type of television to get: Do you want the deep dark blacks that plasma does best? Or would you rather have an ultra-slim, energy-efficient LED-backlit model you can mount on a wall? How about a set that supports 3D? Next you need to settle on a brand, a screen size, and your must-have features. No small feat, but the Best HDTVs list is a good place to start. Below you'll find links to reviews of our top-rated sets spanning the full range of television types, along with current street prices for each.
