Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably noticed that it's a great big 3D world out there, and it's getting bigger every day. The latest arrival is Toshiba's 55WX800U, a 55-inch 3D LCD TV with edge-lit LED backlighting.

Despite the rising popularity of LED-backlit LCD TVs, plasma has remained a favored display technology for many critical viewers who think it delivers the more natural, film-like picture. What it hasn't delivered, at least in the past, is the svelte profile and sleek styling that you get with LED-backlit LCD sets.
• Full-array LED backlight with local dimming • TruMotion 240-Hz processing • NetCast Entertainment Network access, including Netflix, Vudu, Picasa, YouTube, and Yahoo! Widgets • Backlit remote
