European Imaging and Sound Association winners announced
Now this is the award show we are interested in. The European Imaging and Sound Association awards went down last week and there were big winners all the way around. Keep in mind that these models may not be available here in the States as this was for European products. Interestingly enough, Pioneer's 50-inch 1080p plasma didn't win best high-end plasma as it is just a display with no tuner. Samsung didn't repeat their achievement of winning three awards this year like they did in '05, thanks to their award winning LE40M61B LCD, but they did happen to go home with best innovation for their LED-backlit LCDs.

Where's my CRT love? I own a truly budget 30 in. Phillips CRT HDTV, but all of my freinds with similarly sized LCD's are envious of my overall picture quality, especially in action scenes. To my eyes, the set's only weakness in color vibrancy, but I suspect that when I muster the courage to open it up to do a calibration, that niggle will disappear.
I realize that CRT's are an endangered species, but they still rawk hard, especially for HD gaming. If only it wasn't so heavy...
