Samsung SlimFit HDTV sets, which offer the benefits of a CRT but in a much slimmer case, have rapidly become the most popular CRT TV with shoppers. There have been some reports of geometry problems, particularly in HDTVs, but new circuitry promises to address that issue. JVC's standard-definition TVs get some nice feedback; the company's sole direct-view HDTV ... does well but is hard to find.

If you've purchased a new TV set since 2004, your chances of having a built-in digital tuner improve dramatically. Starting in 2004, many of the TV sets sold at popular electronics stores have featured digital tuners that will let you receive the new digital over-the-air broadcasts starting in February 2009. But be wary: It's not a sure thing. Even some of the newer TV sets are purely display monitors that lack the internal circuitry needed to pick up digital broadcasts. Usually these sets have been advertised as "HD-ready" or "HDTV monitor" sets. That means they can display digital and high-definition signals, but they need help getting those signals in the first place.
