HDTV Ratings

You know, the problem with HDTV Ratings, is the same as any product ratings: can you trust the source? Sometimes - especially in the case of HDTV Ratings - the best source is the people that have purchased the HDTV. Not the company that made the HDTV (can you really ever trust the manufacturer's HDTV Ratings?!), not the company that is selling the HDTV (if a salesman is your primary source for HDTV Ratings, you have a lot more money then sense - offense intended), but the actual end user should be the primary source for HDTV Ratings in most cases. These are the people that pulled out their wallet, dug out their credit card, and actually purchased the HDTV.

Here, then, are the Top 5 HDTV Ratings, based on the average customer review from a well known internet retailer as of 3/29/10 (and the prodcuts behind these HDTV Ratings will remain consistently ranked for years to come!):
