The VT670 is a viable contender for users who want to avoid DLP technology, but still need a strong performing projector with high quality image traits.

    Viewsonic's latest and fastest LCD monitor is the VX922, with its big selling point being a 2 ms response time.

    The LCD-32XR1, a 32" LCD panel, is apart of Sanyo's latest range of LCD's that have been marketed as quality displays without the high price tag.

    Without paying for a reputable brand name, consumers are often plagued with tacky looking designs when purchasing electronic goods. We have seen many TV's with enclosure designs resembling toys, with shiny metallic casing and distractingly large logos. Yet if you research enough, you can find some cheaper alternatives which avoid this gimmick design trend - Legend Digital's 30" LCD screen being one of them. Not only does this LCD model have a minimal and clean looking design, it also is backed up with a solid performance in terms of colour reproduction, viewing angle, sound quality and configuration.

In fact, there are still a couple of plasma's that will give future LCDs a run for their money, one of which is the Samsung PS42S5H.
