Panasonic Viera VT20 (TX-P50VT20B) review

The 50-inch, 1080p, 3D-ready Viera TX-P50VT20B is Panasonic's best plasma TV so far. Its high-definition pictures offer drool-inducing levels of detail, its black levels are superb and its 3D performance is also good. It packs twin Freeview HD and freesat HD tuners too, making for a comprehensive win Read more

Hitachi UT42-XV700 review

Finding a flat panel TV without a built-in TV tuner is something of a rarity these days, but Hitachi has done its best to provide one with the UT42-XV700. A beautiful screen that's only 35mm thick, it's a surprisingly impressive performer when hooked up to an external source Read more

Philips Aurea 42PFL9900D review

The 42-inch Philips Aurea 42PFL9900D is one of the best LCD televisions we've seen and is like no other TV on the market, with the Ambilight Spectra turning the TV into a kaleidoscope of colour. In addition, its processing system will clean up any signal leaving you with sharp, crisp and clear images Read more

Samsung PS50P96 review

Samsung's PS50P96 is a stunning 50-inch plasma TV that boasts incredible picture performance. It's not for the tight-fisted, however those who part with the cash will be rewarded with astounding black levels and smooth movement Read more

JVC Xiview LT-42WX70 review

The 42-inch, 1080p LT-42WX70 LCD screen is a brave attempt by JVC to bring something new to the TV table. It's eye-wateringly expensive, but it offers awesome colour reproduction, excellent contrast and exceptionally sharp pictures, as well as a stunning design Read more

Samsung LE46F71BX review

Samsung's LE46F71BX is a 1080p panel suitable for viewing the latest high-definition sources. In fact, it makes this something of a speciality -- hi-def looks great, but standard-definition pictures are nowhere near as well-catered for and there isn't even an integrated Freeview tuner. For hi-def elitists only Read more

Philips Essence 42PES0001D review

The 42-inch, 1080p Essence 42PES0001D LCD TV is one of the best Philips sets we've seen. Design-wise, this amazingly thin TV is a marvel, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a set that's easier to hang on the wall. Most importantly, picture quality is spectacular, and audio quality, via the separate speaker bar, isn't bad either Read more

Philips 42PFL9803 review

With its 42PFL9803 LCD, Philips further hones a first-generation technology. Instead of a panel illuminated from behind like in most LCDs, the 9803 uses an array of more than 1,000 LEDs behind the panel to illuminate the picture. The result is a breathtaking, crisp image that is enhanced by superb audio Read more

Hitachi P50XR01 review

With simple innovation, Hitatchi's PX50XR01 stands out from the crowd. Combining a 250GB hard disk recorder with a 'Full HD' plasma screen is a great idea as it cuts down on clutter and makes the whole HDD recording process much easier. With great picture quality, this TV is a winner Read more

Loewe Art SL 42 Full-HD+ 100 DR+ review

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 question is whether you're willing to spend over £3,000 on a TV Read more
