Good: The 2012 Dodge Charger R/T's standard Uconnect infotainment system features a massive screen and numerous digital-audio sources. The optional Garmin navigation is quick and features excellent voice command.
Bad: While powerful, the 5.7-liter drivetrain doesn't feel very responsive. Fuel economy is a bit disappointing. There are three different voice command systems to contend with.
Bottom Line: The much-improved 2012 Dodge Charger R/T offers a good blend of power and cabin technology, but could use a bit more refinement where efficiency and ease of use are concerned. [Read more]

Good: The Vizio VHT215 is the company's sleekest sound bar yet, with a wireless sub and a truly excellent remote. There are plenty of connectivity options, including two HDMI inputs and optical, coaxial, and minijack audio inputs. And its sound quality is also excellent for a budget sound bar, with lots of flexibility to make adjustments.
Bad: It's not quite as good as the slimmer, cheaper, and slightly better-sounding Haier SBEV40-SLIM.
Bottom Line: The Vizio VHT215 looks sleek, sounds good, and is packed with inputs, making it one of the top budget sound bar choices. [Read more]

Good: The LG LM9600 series TV is an incredibly striking piece of furniture with one of the slimmest bezels we've ever seen. Color reproduction is excellent, after a bit of tweaking. The Magic Motion controller has its quirks but is the best Smart TV navigator out there. The feature set is excellent, and passive 3D is virtually crosstalk-free.
Bad: The LM9600 doesn't perform up to its flagship TV pricing or the expectations created by its full-array local-dimming backlight. Its black levels are significantly worse than those of last year's LG flagship, it suffers from blotchy uniformity, and in shadow detail it lags behind other high-end sets.
Bottom Line: While it's got supermodel looks and pricing to match, the LG LM9600 is unfortunately only an amateur performer. [Read more]
