Mitsubishi’s 2010 LCD line includes three series: the top-shelf Diamond 265 Series, the 164 Series and the 154 Series.

The 154 Series currently includes just one model: the...
Part of Panasonic’s early crop of 2010 plasma TVs, the S2 Series falls in the middle of the 2010 lineup. It uses higher-end technology than the lower-priced U2 and C2 Series, but it lacks the advanced features you get in VT25, G25, and G20 Series–such as THX certification, 3D capability, and VIERA Cast. The S2 Series includes six models,...
