Review summary The JVC HD-56FN97 delivers good value for the dollar, but its picture quality isn't quite on a par with that of other top 1080p rear-projection options. While it doesn't quite deliver the best picture among 1080p HDTVs, the HP MD6580n's innovative design and future-ready inputs may tip the scales in its favor anyway. A great performer, especially after calibration, this smaller, midpriced, big-screen TV sets a high standard. While the Sony KDS-R60XBR2 has a picture that's essentially identical to its less-expensive SXRD stablemate, the prodigious feature set on this 60-inch HDTV will attract buyers who must have it all. The Mitsubishi WD-65831 may be expensive, but its standout picture quality, sleek design, and superb feature set make it worth the price to high-end buyers.
