Best sources for HDTV and display reviews

My recommended list of sources for HDTV and display reviews was shortened by the editors. Amir will be shocked that "Widescreen Review Magazine" where we are both Contributing Editors does not show up in the article. The editors took it out because only subscribers can read the reviews.

Here is the original recommended list that was included in the article. I am also going to post a request for forum members to add to the list.

Recommended sources for objective reviews of HDTVs, monitors, and displays:

DisplayMate's in-depth analysis of HDTV technology
http://www.displaymate.com/shootout.html

Television Info.com - Best comprehensive measurements and analysis reviews
http://www.televisioninfo.com/

CNET - Great technically accurate reviews by David Katzmaier
http://www.cnet.com

Widescreen Review Magazine - Excellent high-end technical reviews
http://www.widescreenreview.com

Sound and Vision Magazine - Excellent technical reviews
http://www.soundandvisionmag.com

Let's compile a list of the Best sources for reviews

I've listed a few of my favorite places to look for objective reviews of HDTVs, monitors and displays. A great forum project would be to compile a comprehensive list of the best sources for reviews with separate threads for HDTVs, monitors, audio electronics, speakers, etc...

Lots of publications produce reviews from manufacturers press releases - they are worthless. Many publications produce reviews by visually evaluating the display - the best of these are probably very helpful. But the Best reviews are done by experts using test patterns and accurate instrumentation like spectroradiometers - Spyders and similar low-end instruments are not very accurate and don't count as instrumentation in my book.

So please submit your favorite review publications and websites - then qualify them.
