Best LCD TVs
Svelte and sexy LCD (liquid crystal display) flat-panels have been replacing bulky PC monitor tubes for the past several years. It was only a matter of time before those monitors grew up into bigger flat-panel TVs. Today's LCD TVs range from 15 to more than 52 inches. They can be small enough to replace your old tube or big enough to compete against plasma TVs. Here are our favorites.
