Where's the best site for HDTV reviews?

I would like to help a friend make a wise HDTV purchase.

Other than some links for accurate TV reviews, what sage advice do y'all have?

Price range under $1500
1080
tween 40 and 48 inches
No gaming

Dude, talk about a fast response!

Are you looking over my shoulder?

EDIT:
You sure that's the right URL?

Agreed..looks more like a sales site than an unbiased review site. I will look around.

Edit: I just plugged in to Google "HDTV reviews" and came up with a bunch of reviews sites...perhaps some are even unbiased?

Sorry, I just typed in "www.hdtv.com" and something came up so I posted it. I don't know anything about HDTV or know of any sites for reviews. Did you try to Google something like "HDTV reviews"?

This site http://www.avguide.com/the-perfect-vision is pretty good. It is an online magazine with many articles and reviews on HDTV and the latest audio, etc. You can even search past issues. Car guys will like the sister version "Perfect Road"

BigRed got there first with avguide so I'll add PCMagazone.
No matter what you think of what they've done in the past they've done in the past Robert Heron has done a spectacularly good job covering HDTVs at that site.
