>> A new HD TV is top of the wish list this year and they come in all sizes and prices. Now if you can't remember all these letters and numbers, don't worry, they're all at the CNET Holiday Gift Guide. Now for a small space and budget, we really like this 32-inch Vizio LCD. It's about $450, which is a good price and it has great picture quality. For a 42-inch Plasma, we like the Panasonic Viera, which is a good TV and a good deal. It's 1080i, not the top of the line 1080p, but for most people that doesn't matter and it means this TV is less than $800. We also like its big brother, the 50-inch Panasonic Viera Plasma. That one is 1080p, the best resolution you can get and it's online for about $2000. Of course if you have to have the absolute top of the line, you're getting the $5000 Pioneer Elite Kuro PRO-11FD. Our Editors gave it a perfect 10 in image quality. It's the creme of the crop in 50-inch plasmas. For CNET.com, I'm Molly Wood. ^M00:01:00 [ Music ]
