Flat-panel, high-definition TV
Okay, so it is a little pricey at $1,250. But when you see it in action, it's clear to see the edge it has over many other flat-panel televisions. The panoramic screen, high-resolution, and bold colors work together for a dream package. And the resolution is as high as it gets at 1080p, though this requires both high-definition media and hardware. If you want to play video games with fine detail, the games, console, and audio-video cables must support this feature. Though there are a lot of budget flat-panel screens out there, this is the clear winner.
