HD Guru Gary Merson Reviews 74 HDTV's From 2007

HDTV expert Gary Merson tested 74 HDTV's ranging from 19 to 67 inches for their ability to correctly deinterlace 1080i signals and also whether they correctly converted 24 frames-per-second film-based content to the TV's respective native display rate without sacrificing picture detail. Overall this year's HDTV's did a whole lot better than last year's with a 64.86% pass rate for proper deinterlacing compared to last year's woeful 45.91%. The failure rate for proper 3:2 processing is a horrible 81.09%. Plasmas as expected displayed the best motion detail with flat-panel LCD's bringing up the rear with a disturbingly low score. Check out the entire review and explanation behind it here, with a helpful chart included.
