| Review summary | A high-quality TV with the sort of black levels that we last saw on CRT TVs. It's not perfect but it does move home cinema screens up to a new level where they can offer something the LCD-based competition can't Read full review |
This is the ultimate TV for home-cinema buffs. With its separate media receiver, this screen is perfect for wall-mounting or professional installs. The flexibility offered by the numerous inputs and DVB-T, DVB-S2 and DLNA mean it's got more functionality than its Kuro siblings too. It won't appeal to everyone, but it's one hell of a TV all the same Read full review |
If you've got the money, don't think twice -- this TV is as good as it gets and you won't regret buying one for even a second. The only problem is that it'll cost you another fortune in Blu-ray discs and HD TV subscriptions Read full review |
This TV is nothing short of stunning. DVD and Blu-ray look amazing, games will blow your mind and even Freeview looks passable, which is no mean feat on a screen this large. We're going to ignore the ludicrous price because if you simply must have the best, then money will be no object Read full review |

LG SL9000 (42SL9000)
Good but not great. It's not quite up there with the best of the LED-edge-lit competition
Philips 9000 (47PFL9664H/12)
Beautiful styling, superlative performance and an endless feature set make for a truly premium experience
Sony Bravia Z5800 (KDL-40Z5800)
Sony's first freesat set is one of the best-performing TVs we've seen from the company so far
Toshiba Regza SV (46SV685DB)
It's a very good TV indeed, but we're not convinced the price is justified
