  Yea, everyone already knows about avsforum.

  Those aren't reviews, as much as "My TV is great, and much better than any other brand" raves. More up to date, but certainly not less biased. I have a hard time wading through much of that site due to the biases and the REALLY LONG threads (some 20 some pages, one over 100 pages) just to find the negatives (if there are any) to balance out the raves.
  I did some research there, when I went shopping for 50" TVs a while back. If you don't like Panny plasmas or Sammy DLPs, you're are pretty much SOL.
  That's not to say there isn't good info there, because there is, but it has its biases.

    Well, there is a wide range of biases on display at avsforum but only one set dominating the presentations at plasmaTVbuyingguide. In addition, you can ask the experts (as soon as you can distinguish them) at avsforum and expect useful responses. PlasmaTVbuyingguide never responded to any of my queries.

    Also, one should be careful to note the dates on all posts. When I was shopping, I learned a fair amount of background technical info from plasmaTVbuyingguide but their reviews are very dated and didn't cover current models. So, in the future, I might consult them but wouldn't rely on them. However, having spent time on avsforum now, I would know who to rely on there.

      It is dated, unfortunately-I wished it was more recent. It does have some basic info and some links. There is also CNET, but they don't review much either. The truth is, that its hard to find good video reviews.

        Yeah. Fortunately for me, I could call up a number of industry people (retail and press) for personal consultation.
