| Review summary | Panasonic's TX26LX50 is a real benchmark product in terms of picture quality -- it costs more than some competitors' latest efforts, but it rewards the extra investment. It's a shame, then, that it rides the dying wave of pre-HD Ready technology. We advise waiting for the upgraded model to make this stellar performer a wise long-term investment Read full review |
If big, beautiful hi-def pictures are what you're after, this 52-incher delivers the goods. Bold but realistic colours, strong black levels and the smoothest motion we've seen on an LCD, married with good connectivity and design, make this one of the finest big screen flat panels around Read full review |
Sony's KDL-40W2000 has set a new benchmark for large screen displays. The full 1080p specification is equipped for the future while LCD image quality has never looked this good Read full review |
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 Read full review |

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
