When it comes to LCD televisions Sharp takes no prisoners. Setting the standard for resolution, clarity and sheer hotness Sharp knows their flat panels. The full 1080p (full high definition folks, none of this 720p business) AQUOS has dramatic black levels and a design that will satisfy all natures of admirers.

What this means to you: At 32″, it’s the smallest full HD TV your money can get. At under a grand, your money couldn’t be spent on a better TV. Go ahead, burn a paycheck.

Cost: $989 @ BestBuyPlasma (the best price we could find from a reputable dealer)
