Typical price: £1,300
What is it: 32-inch LCD TV with 1080p panel
What we think: While this TV doesn't disgrace the Kuro name, there's no way to squeeze plasma-level blacks out of an LCD yet

| Review summary | We're not going to pretend this TV is cheap. It is, however, an impressive LCD TV with solid Freeview picture quality and amazing HD pictures. Even upscaled DVDs look good on this TV. It's one for you if you have your heart set on a Pioneer, but can't have a 50 or 60-inch plasma 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 |

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
