The 46-inch, 1080p, LED-edge-lit UE46B8000 is fantastically thin, offers excellent picture quality and is packed full of useful and entertaining features. It's pricey and there are some patchiness issues with the backlight on rare occasions, but this ...

Fantastic picture quality ; attractive styling ; excellent media playback ; good widget capability ;

Backlight is patchy on all-black scenes and seems to have trouble adjusting itself quickly enough to on-screen changes in illumination ; expensive ;

The UE46B8000 is another stunning TV from Samsung. There are so many things about this TV that we adore. The picture quality is epic, the design is a thing of beauty and the extra features are both useful and fun. We noticed that the backlight did ...

It's not the most feature-packed set in the world and its design is rather conservative, but the 42-inch, 1080p Viera TX-P42S10 is still a terrific plasma TV. It's a brilliant performer with high-definition content and it offers a good Freeview ...

Excellent picture quality ; good design ;

Not the most exciting TV we&apos ; ve seen ; we&apos ; d like to see more than three HDMI sockets ;

If you want high-quality pictures, the Panasonic Viera TX-P42S10 won't disappoint. We really like everything about this TV -- Blu-ray movies look stunning, Freeview is handled well and the configuration options are simple but still cover the important ...

If you discount its ridiculous name, the 42-inch, 1080p Art SL 42 Full-HD+ 100 DR+ LCD TV has plenty going for it. It's attractive, boasts good picture and sound quality, and offers more configuration options than you can shake a stick at. The real ...

Good picture ; powerful sound ; attractive design ;

Expensive ; not as many HDMI inputs as we think there should be ;

Over £3,000 gets you a fair amount of TV. We love the styling of the Loewe Art SL 42 Full-HD+ 100 DR+, and the extra functionality you can add also makes this a really excellent choice for people who want plenty of cool toys in one box. Sound and ...

Representing LG's first entry into the freesat TV market, the 42-inch 42LF7700 LCD TV with a 1080p resolution is an admirable effort at a reasonable price. Boasting a seriously attractive design, it also offers hugely watchable pictures, although its ...

Generally good picture quality ; attractive design ; key freesat functionality has been integrated very well ; fair price ;

Black-level response isn&apos ; t the best ; standard-definition pictures can look slightly soft ; electronic programme guide is sluggish ;

LG might be the first brand to enter the freesat TV market following the end of Panasonic's exclusive freesat deal, but there are few signs that anything's been rushed with the 42LF7700. It's not a perfect TV, but it's certainly very likeable

The HD Ready Viera TX-L26X10 is pricey for a no-frills, 26-inch LCD TV, but it offers a better AV performance than the vast majority of its rivals. It won't win any design awards, but if you're looking for a second-room TV and care about performance, ...

Built-in SD card slot ; generally good pictures with standard- and high-definition sources ; better sound quality than you usually get with a 26-inch LCD TV ;

Not cheap for what it is ; images can look dull if watched in a very bright room ; black levels could be better ;

Many manufacturers don't really take 26-inch TVs seriously. But, while the Panasonic Viera TX-L26X10 might be low on interesting features and more expensive than many of its rivals, it does at least produce a superior AV performance

Unfortunately, the 1080p, 46-inch Aquos LC46DH77E LCD TV doesn't fully deliver on its eco-friendly promise. It's just as well, then, that this set looks fantastic, puts in a mostly excellent performance with high-definition content, and bears a ...

Lovely design ; HD pictures frequently look excellent ; remarkably cheap for such a large TV ; apos ; eco&apos ; button on the remote could help you save money ;

Weak audio ; black levels and standard-definition pictures could be better ; green features are disappointing ; manual is huge for an ostensibly eco-friendly TV ;

While Sharp is to be congratulated on trying to bring green issues to the fore with the Aquos LC46DH77E, it's hard to see the supposedly ground-breaking eco button really making much of a difference to the planet's fate. But the set does deliver good ...

The HD Ready KDL-26V4000 LCD TV is surprisingly affordable for a Sony Bravia set. Judged by Sony's current standards, it's short on features and looks unglamorous, but it produces some of the best pictures we've seen from a 26-inch TV, with bright, ...

Sensible price ; good range of connections ; impressive pictures ; easy to use ;

Short on features ; not the prettiest TV available ; no USB or SD card slots ;

On paper, the Sony Bravia KDL-26V4000 doesn't seem to have much going for it, apart, perhaps, from its Bravia Engine video-processing technology. But that just proves you should never trust specs alone, as it's actually one of the finest 26-inch LCD ...

The 42-inch, 720p 42PQ6000 is a fantastic plasma TV at a relatively recession-friendly price. It's attractive, boasts beautiful menus and offers excellent standard-definition picture quality. Its high-definition performance is slightly less impressive ...

Attractive styling ; good picture quality ; beautiful menus ; easy to use ; excellent sound ;

For the price, there&apos ; s not much to moan about ;

The LG 42PQ6000's performance with high-definition content won't blow you away. That's not to say it's bad -- it's just that the lack of 1080p resolution means Blu-ray movies don't have the impact they could have. But we still utterly love this TV. ...

The 37-inch, 1080p Viera TX-L37G10 is a top-quality LCD TV with built-in Freeview and freesat HD tuners, allowing you to access the widest possible range of free channels without the need for any messy external boxes. It's expensive but it offers ...

Built-in Freeview and freesat HD tuners; stunning high-definition sharpness levels; smooth motion performance

Expensive; standard-definition performance isn't as good as some other Panasonic TVs

The Panasonic Viera TX-L37G10 may be on the expensive side, but the built-in freesat HD tuner is a major boon, and the set's performance with high-definition content is top-notch. If you've got the money, you won't be disappointed

For a HD Ready, 32-inch LCD TV, the LCD32-209 is remarkably cheap. It's also nowhere near as bad as you might expect, especially considering that it comes off a supermarket shelf. Decent contrast, vibrant colours and surprisingly good audio mean it's ...

Low price for an HD Ready, 32-inch TV; sound is okay; decent contrast; vibrant colours

Dire motion blur; noisy pictures; colour tone can look strange, especially with standard-definition content

Although not nearly as bad as you might expect for the price, the Technika LCD32-209's motion-handling flaws are bad enough to ensure that the set should only be considered for casual, second-room use
