I'd suggest THE PERFECT VISION.

Their URL is http://www.theperfectvision.com

WIDESCREEN REVIEW also is excellent, but is very USA-centric, with
virtually no coverage of displays for PAL, the prevailing standard in
Europe.

IMO plasma is a good choice for Euro/PAL videophiles. Plasma displays
'hold' the image info a bit longer (considered a disadvantage for NTSC
and 60hz HDTV), eliminating the strobe-like flicker associated with
standard PAL displays and avoiding the artifacts which 100hz PAL TVs
produce (I saw these in Milan [Sony Store at Emporio Armani] back in
early July).

Just now, my advice to anyone in America or Europe is if you have a TV
you're reasonably pleased with at present don't get another one for at
least two or three years. By then there will be better/more and likely
at lower prices.

The two magazines I suggested are both excellent to keep up with new
developments.

Try Robb Reports' "Home Entertainment" and their new "Digital TV". Both
are excellent!
