Typical price: £3,000
What is it: LCD 'Full HD' TV with Ambilight Spectra
What we think: Very expensive, but its picture performance nothing short of stunning
What you need to know

We like:
Excellent picture quality with hi-def material; good sound; hi-def inputs aplenty; Ambilight Spectra is an eye-catching, unusual feature
We don't like:
Price; no PC input
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The price tag will put off all but the most well-heeled telly addict, but those that do shell out get a truly superb television in return. With some of the finest picture performance we've ever seen, the Philips Aurea 42PFL9900D is the perfect partner for a hi-def movie player, games console or TV service

This is aimed at people who want a great TV that says something about them, so understandably it's not for everyone
Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ80
A great all-rounder with performance that will impress everyone who uses it, but at a global-recession-friendly price
