Typical price: £500

Toshiba Regza AV61 (32AV615DB)
Not quite as polished as its high-end rivals, but it still delivers great performance at a low price point
Sony Bravia V5810 (KDL-40V5810)
Excellent picture quality and a surprisingly low price tag make this a great-value set
Philips 9000 LED Pro (40PFL9704H/12)
The best Philips TV we've seen recently, and one of the best TVs we've seen in general
Sony Bravia EX1 (KDL-52EX1)
An always good and occasionally outstanding performer, but it's far too expensive
