Best HDTVs (33 - 43 inches)

updated Aug 28

HDTV was made for bigger screens, and at sizes between 33 and 43 inches, the extra detail of high-def has a good opportunity to strut its stuff. The models on this list include a mix of plasmas and LCDs but projection models are still scarce at this size. If you have the room and are going to watch HDTV channels, stepping up to a bigger screen is worth it.
