Review summary	This set provides a ratings challenge because we love the styling and HD picture quality but weren't blown away by the sound or Freeview quality. At this price, we would expect a more rounded performance but this could be seen as the first step for LED backlights 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	Yes, the Philips 32PFL9632D is one of the pricier 32-inch models around, but if you want your hi-def images to look as clean, clear and crisp as possible then this is currently the best TV in its class. The addition of Ambilight and a wide range of connections are just the icing on the cake Read full review
