The 2006 Engadget Awards: Nominate the HDTV of the Year

It's time for the 2006 Engadget Awards, and we're asking for your nominations for the HDTV of the Year.

Nominating is easy, here's how you do it:

• Leave a comment as you normally would with what you're nominating for this category (remember, comments must be validated!).
• Don't include your reasons for nominating it or any of that stuff, just leaving the name is fine.
• Limit your nominations only to devices that were introduced and sold for the first time in 2006 (which means no concept devices or prototypes, although we will allow updated versions of previous products).
• Nominations only need be made once to be in the running, so make a quick scan to see if someone's already beat you to your suggestion (i.e., don't nominate anything more than once!).
• We will round up the best selections, and put them to the popular vote.

Thanks, and good luck to all the gadgets!

Westinghouse w3213 - Best Buy Door Buster.

32 in. LCD with integrated tuner. It may not be the best HD panel available, but it was the best HD panel for 500 bucks. Even if you didnt get that exact set, there was a frenzy for HDTV's sparked by the 500 dollar price. No other HDTV got the general public more excited than the Westy.

[Franssu @ Jan 2nd 2007 12:04PM]

Panasonic PT-AE1000U 1080p LCD projector. The era of affordable 1080p projection has begun.

To the 500 people who nominated "the Sony Bravia line": what part of "read and don't duplicate" did you not read. Oh, wait.

50" Panasonic plasma of incredible quality for $1900 you can't beat it.
