They claim that the detail seen on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/categories\/162\/LCD+TVs\/\" target=\"_blank\">LCD TV<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/categories\/3835\/LED+TVs\/\" target=\"_blank\">LED TV<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/categories\/163\/Plasma+TVs\/\" target=\"_blank\">Plasma TV\u2019s<\/a> are the most detailed ever seen.
