32-inch hi-def LCDs with Freeview

LCDs are getting cheap enough to compete with CRTs on price, and the advent of high definition means they make a huge difference to your viewing. Most people will think that bigger is better, but a 32-inch model is the perfect size for most rooms. We've selected the best 32-inch LCDs on the market that are hi-def compatible and, as a bonus, they've all got integrated Freeview tuners... Read more

Philips 26PF5520D review

The 26PF5520D offers almost everything that you could want on a modern TV, including full high-definition compatibility and built-in Freeview, all for the miserly sum of £700. It might not offer picture processing or NXT speakers, but with decent picture quality and a shopping list of features, this is a true bargain Read more

Toshiba 36ZP48 review

The 36ZP48 is one of the most confident displays of the antiquated CRT technology ever and there's little to fault. It has a superb contrast range, sharp detail and fantastic connectivity Read more

Samsung LE40R51B review

Microsoft has chosen the stylish Samsung LE40R51B to showcase its Xbox 360 console's hi-def output, and we don't blame them. It may lack Freeview and the connectivity is somewhat lacking, but for this price and size, the picture quality on this LCD is brilliant Read more

Panasonic Viera TH37PV500 review

This Viera may well be expensive, but you're buying a TV that's been crafted with loving care. The image quality is startlingly good -- anyone who had written plasma off should be pleasantly surprised by the colour and contrast depth of this brand-new panel Read more

Plasma perfection: the 42-inch flat-screen shootout

Want a flat screen that won't break the bank? LCD is expensive at the 32-inch mark, and into the crazy price bracket above that. But plasmas offer big screen thrills at a competitive price -- three of the models here are well under £2,000... Read more

Samsung SP-50L7HX review

The SP-50L7HX is an impressive feat of style, features and performance. It's our favourite rear-pro television, sitting beside the iPod as an example of superb design backed up by functionality Read more

Sagem Axium HD-D56 review

56-inch screen, powerful sound and HD-ready -- rear projection TVs might not be AV haute couture, but when they keep coming like Sagem's HD-D56, they're hard to ignore as genuine home-cinema options. For its size, this is a real bargain Read more

Toshiba 32WLT58 review

Connectivity is the biggest selling point on the 32WLT58, with a massive selection spanning standard and high definition, including a generous two HDMI inputs. Having said that, it doesn't have the most inspiring design we've seen and its Freeview picture quality certainly isn't up there with efforts from Panasonic and Philips Read more
