What are the best review sites?

I'm looking at getting a DLP set around the 50" range in the near future and I'm wondering what the best review places are so I can go looking for specific sets rather than buying what they have or try to sell me on.

Anybody have links to the best places that seem to be fair and accurate?

If you have any favorite currently available sets in mind please let me know what those are as well.

TIA.

http://www.audioreview.com, and http://www.epinions.com are good review sites for A/V equipment. But remember all reviews regardless of topics are self opinionated, originated from person to person, are subjective to both positive, and negative ratings from various editorial reviewers. The ownership of the purchased equipment, are the most reliable, due from their current, or past personal experiences, and longevity of use.

To be clear, my first choice would be sites like Consumer Reports, but not them because it appears their site is members only.

For some models you can find discussion threads at avsforum or hometheaterspot or hometheaterforum on the web.
