| Review summary | There's no doubt that the JVC HD-56ZR7J has its faults -- not least some underwhelming black levels and the provision of just a single HDMI. Yet it's still worth considering simply for giving you 56 inches of occasionally superb hi-def pictures for under £1,800 Read full review |
If you fancy a projection-sized picture without having to put up with the installation hassles and dark room of a projector, this outstanding Sony rear projection TV is a stunning option. A timely and potent reminder that not all the best things in AV life are flat Read full review |
Look past the bulky body and you’ll find one of the finest rear-projection TVs around, capable of creating a strong, vibrant picture with no meaningful side effects. Full 1080p compatibility, a superb selection of inputs and an unbelievably low price make this a brilliant alternative to LCD and plasma. Just make sure your living room's big enough Read full review |
Sagem's excellent line in rear-projection TVs gets better, thanks to an integrated Freeview tuner and four HD video inputs. Also new to the roster is a new DLP chipset, which has mixed results but doesn't prevent excellent standard- and high-definition picture quality. The wealth of features and modern styling are one thing, but the superb value that the TV offers makes it top of our big-screen budget choices Read full review |
