The start of the review

For our demo review, we're using David Katzmaier;s review of the Sony Bravia XBR-55HX929.

On the upper right are the ratings. CNET awards up to 5 stars for products, and it's got to be pretty special to get all 5. There's a lot that goes into that 10-step rating. This page is about the Sony specifically, but it details the behind-the-scenes methodology for all the TV ratings.

Below the CNET ratings are an average of user ratings. Generally, this will match pretty closely to the CNET rating. If it doesn't, be wary if only a few people have reviewed a product, as the results could be easily skewed.
