Consumer Reports' Picks for Best Flat Screen TV's

Nov. 12, 2010— -- Prices on flat screen TV's are expected to drop this holiday season, and there are even some bargains you can find before Black Friday.

Consumer Reports magazine's electronics editor Paul Reynolds shared some of its top picks for plasma and LCD TV's under $1,000 with "GMA."

26-inch Vizio M261VP Razor LED
$440

This model boasts great picture quality (one of the best at the 26 inch size), and has built in WiFi with internet apps.

32-Inch Sanyo DP32670
$408

This 32-inch 720p LCD TV/DVD combo unit, which has an integrated DVD player, isn't loaded with features, but it offers a lot -- especially very good overall picture quality -- for a very low price. It also has a wider-than-average viewing angle for an LCD TV, though its sound was only fair, lower than many other sets this size. It could be a fine option for those looking for the convenience of an all-in-one TV that will be used in a secondary room of the house, such as a bedroom, home office or den.

$730

This Vizio has good sound, excellent picture quality, built in WiFi with internet apps, and comes with Bluetooth remote with a slide-out qwerty keyboard.

$999

This 42-inch 1080p LCD TV from JVC, a 120Hz set, delivers very good overall picture quality, and its one of the few models this size with very good sound. It has JVC's "TeleDock" iPod dock, so it can play music, videos, and photos from an iPod or iPhone on the TV.
