If you thought Magellan’s RoadMate 2000 series was low-end, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Turns out, the company has oh-so-quietly released a (relatively unsightly) RoadMate 1200, which has managed to slip under the radar until now. Spotted online in a number of locations for less than $200, this 3.5-inch navigator features a QVGA touchscreen, a Centrality Atlas processor, QuickSpell / SmartDetour functions, 1.3 million POIs, NAVTEQ maps of the continental United States / Puerto Rico / Hawaii on a 1GB SD card and a rechargeable Li-ion that’s good for around three hours. It’s a real yawner, we know, but there’s a decent chance this thing’s pricetag could sink even lower on Black Friday with a little luck.

Gary Merson backs up our review of Samsung’s new LED driven LCD displays, agreeing with my impression that its the best LCD I’ve ever seen. Gary’s tests went deeper, revealing that the TV resolves 800 lines of motion which means that these sets have better blur resistance than even most 120Hz sets, and even some plasmas.
He also disliked the set’s handling of 480 content, reporting massive jaggies. But scaler aside for a moment, anyone can tell this set looks good, technical tests or not, by looking at it plain and simple. If you’re considering this TV, he also drops in comparisons to plasmas and some other sets so reading his review is worth it. [HD Guru and Samsung’s 81 Series on Giz]
