Battle of the under $900 HDTVs

Gizmodo has posted an interesting and detailed story comparing various HDTV’s under $900 against each other, complete with screenshots and lots of juicy details.

The battles include: The Toshiba Regza vs. Vizio (the Toshiba was judged superior), the close race between the Westinghouse and the Vizio (judged a tie, for a backlight issue dragged down the Westinghouse a bit), and the big loser was the Insignia, which scored very poorly against the Vizio. The Regza also (barely) beat the Vizio Plasma TV.

The details given are very interesting, and it points up the real difference between the different models and companies. Also given a little text was the fact that calibrating your TV (we had an article here about this not too long ago) makes nearly any set better than it would be out of the box.
