    I use What HiFi http://www.whathifi.com/
  • HDTVtest, without a shadow of doubt,
    I bought my 42" Pioneer Kuro plasma just by reading a single review on that website...didn't even bother checking the picture out with my own eyes at my local TV shop :rotfl:
    (and i haven't regretted it for one moment)

    I'll second HDTVtest for pro reviews, and for user experience, and to put you off every single TV on sale, avforums.com - you'll find a thread for most popular TVs with people talking about what picture settings they use, and people saying the TV is awful, and other people saying no it's brilliant etc.

    Whatever you do, ignore What Hi Fi. Waste of space for home entertainment, they really are.
    Whatever doesn't kill me, can only make me stronger.

    I definitely use HDTV TEST as the main site by far. Bear in mind you need to get your head around whats being said though, it can be too complicated for the average tv buyer who dont really understand what to look for.
    I also recommend AV FORUMS but you have to remember that many people who post are not really hifi buffs so they can (And do) give duff advice at times
    I also recommend WHAT HIFI, as although I question some of what they do, when reviewing tvs they do seem pretty spot on and they have quite a few different reviewers so if they all say the tv picture looks good you can pretty much guarantee it is good.
    :idea:
  • For in depth, but easy to read reviews, TRUSTED REVIEWS are also worth a look.
