Televisioninfo.com web site which evaluate HDTVs regularly have chosen their HDTV pick of the year for 2010.

For 50 inch and higher they pick:

Sony Bravia XBR-52HX909 – $3,599.99
The Sony Bravia XBR-52HX909 is just a really well-rounded HDTV. It got some impressive results on our performance tests, such as a high contrast ratio and accurate color performance. The TV can also do 3D, but it wasn't particularly great in that regard.

Runner up – Vizio XVT553SV – $1749.99
The TV really didn't have any downsides, but the XBR-52HX909 had better online features and 3D capability. If you don't mind missing out on those features, though, the XVT553SV is a much more affordable purchase.

For 40 inch and above:

Samsung UN46C7100 – $1599.99
Our pick for TV of the Year has to excel in a lot of different ways. It has to have a great picture, an interesting feature set, and not be grossly overpriced for what it offers.

Runner up – Panasonic TC-P42GT25 – $1429.99
The Panasonic TC-P42GT25 was another great all-around 3D HDTV. While it's 3D performance was much better than what we saw on the UN46C7100, it's overall picture quality wasn't quite as good and Panasonic's online content is slightly lacking compared to Samsung's.

Runner up – Samsung LN40C630 – $697.99
The Samsung LN40C630 has everything you'd want: great picture quality, an extensive line-up of online content, and a relatively low price given its size and feature set. The TV's only real downside: its dynamic backlight can't be completely shut off.

In 32 inch range:

Sony KDL-32EX700 – $699.88
This TV gives you a very deep black level, a high overall contrast ratio, great color accuracy, and allows you to connect to the best selection of online content currently being offered.

Runner up- Vizio E320VL – $357.99
The Vizio E320VL is the best value out of any HDTVs we've reviewed this year. Sure, it didn't have the best picture quality, and it wasn't even the least expensive. It did, however, offer the best picture quality for its price.

Runner up – LG 32LD350 – $407.99
The 32LD350 has all the same benefits as the E320VL, only it costs just a bit more for a small jump in quality.
