Sony Grand Wega KF-50XBR800 LCD HD Monitor Depending on what you're looking for in a TV, the KF-50XBR800 may be worth looking at. If a high black level drives you nuts, this isn't the set for you. If the black level doesn't bother you or you watch a lot of TV during the day or in a bright room, the KF-50XBR800 is definitely worth investigating.   |

Toshiba 46HX83 HD Monitor This TV is for those people who have a smaller room and want a bigger screen but can't afford the footprint of a huge rear-projection TV. It has accurate color reproduction, it can be extremely bright if you need it to be, and it has a decent black level. |

Pioneer Elite PRO-1110HD Plasma HDTV For a display to be called an HDTV, it has to have a built-in ATSC tuner. Many of the RPTVs in last month's Face Off were so equipped, but Pioneer's Elite PRO-1110HD is the first plasma we've reviewed that has one. |
