Typical price: £500
What is it: HD Ready 32-inch LCD TV with three HDMI inputs and dedicated gaming mode
What we think: A good-quality, budget TV set for people who want high definition and plenty of HDMI sockets, but don't need a huge screen

An always good and occasionally outstanding performer, but it's far too expensive

Great piece of kit, but its price tag will make it unobtainable for most
JVC Xiview LT-42WX70
Interesting attempt at creating an innovative TV, but some of its promised functionality is yet to be realised
