What is it: Budget 42-inch, 1080p LCD TV
What we think: Decent picture and sound quality prove a budget TV doesn't have to suck the will to live from your very soul

Reviewed on: 6 August 2009
We like:
Reasonable price; good Freeview picture quality; decent sound; hi-def video and gaming performance are both very good
We don't like:
Resolution+ upscaling is still fairly pointless -- the TV produces a terrific picture with it turned off
CNET UK judgement:
Very good Freeview and high-definition performance really sold us on the Toshiba Regza 42RV635DB. It's sensibly priced, sports a decent screen size and is easy to use. It's an ideal TV if you want a hassle-free set that won't baffle you with options but still has enough controls to enable you to get the best-possible picture quality

It's amazing what you can buy for £650 these days. Just a few years ago, you wouldn't have been able to get a 30-inch TV for that. But now you can get the 1080p, 42-inch Toshiba Regza 42RV635DB LCD TV for around that price. It doesn't sport much in the way of special trickery, but it's an appealing, reasonably low-cost set that we think will be very popular with a great number of people. Continue Reading...

Sony Bravia EX1 (KDL-52EX1)
An always good and occasionally outstanding performer, but it's far too expensive
Philips Cinema 21:9 (56PFL9954H/12)
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

Freeview HD launch: BBC HD and ITV1 HD now available -- sort of
On 2 December, Freeview HD launched, at least technically. Sadly, there's no equipment that can receive the broadcasts at the moment, but the channels are certainly up and running
