Typical price: £800
What is it: Low-cost HD Ready LCD projector
What we think: Although this projector's low-cost nature is evident in some aspects of its performance, it's certainly nothing if not fun

We like:
Remarkably low in price; excellent game mode; suffers no LCD 'chicken wire' effect
We don't like:
Black levels aren't great for movies; flawed dynamic contrast system; dark areas can look noisy
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The AX200E isn't quite good enough at showing films to answer all the prayers of cash-strapped home cinema fans, but it certainly succeeds as a 'fun' option for the more casual big-screen user, especially if they're into console games

Sony Bravia KDL-40E4000
An interesting idea with mixed results -- the photo frame design is excellent but Freeview picture quality is a let-down
Philips Cineos 42PFL7603D
It may be cheaper than the predecessing 9703, but Freeview performance isn't as good and Ambilight lags

Philips 42PFL9803: Best LCD contrast ever?
For an LCD TV to get near the amazing black levels of plasmas, you need to ditch the traditional backlight and use LEDs, which is exactly what Philips has done with its latest Ambilight TV
