Post HCCO Web site and Magazine reviews different?

Just looking through the 'Hot Stuff' section of this months HCCO, I was looking that the 'WideScreen TV' section.

I notice for the Hitachi C36WF810N, it got: 4.5
4.5
4.5
4.5
4.5

But, in the web, the review gave it:

5
5
4.5
4.5


And the catagories are different!

Is it the review on the web the same as was printed in the mag?

I am intereated as the Sony FS70 has one of the best reviews on this web site, but it doesn't appear in the HotStuff section.

What decides which stuff is 'Hot'?

Jon,
thanks for pointing out that incosistancy. July's issue was the first using the new format boxes for reviews, and we copied a whole star instead of a half star in a couple of instances. The online review has been corrected.
Website reviews are (should be, errors permitting) exactly the same as magazine reviews.
And TVs are not subdivided into categories in the website and there is no 'hot stuff' section on the website, either.

Thanks for that... So, what determins if something is 'Hot'.

The Sony FS70 got one of the best reviews.. Certainly better rates (marginly) than some of the TVs in your 'Hot Stuff' section.

Obviously once a review has been done, its rating is fixed, but the hot stuff section seems to change frequently.. What factors are used when putting something in that section?
