Typical price: £1,000
What is it: 27-inch LCD TV
What we think: A great value debut LCD from Sagem, the HD-L27 has loads of connections, high-definition compatibility and a good picture quality. It's a shame it's so bulky, though

"Feature packed, smart looking display for a fantastic price"
What I like:
Sheer quantity and variety of video inputs. Audio passthru for feeding 5.1 surround system.
What I don't like:
Little bulky. Silver stand looks a little naff compared to the gloss black case.
Review:
Top unit.
I was quite simply amazed by the sheer number and methods of conencting this TV up. I bought it to work with my MediaCenter PC, and so was seeking a VGA input. The Sagem obliged, and also offered me 3 scarts, a DVI, an RGB Composite and S-VHS input into the bargain. The added bonus of a media card slot that can take most flash memory formats, as well as being HD TV ready gives it more than just an edge over the competition in this price bracket. Similar feature availability on other brands go for significantly more money.
I picked this up at the bargain price of £600, but would have been happy to pay more. Any reservations I had with a lack of knowledge about Sagem's TV quality were soon put to rest as soon as the unit was connected up. Crisp, clear picture and a reasonably high resolution that even lets me read my emails from across the room.

Beautiful styling, superlative performance and an endless feature set make for a truly premium experience

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
Samsung B7020WW (UE55B7020WW)
Could have been one of the best TVs we've seen were it not for the serious backlight inconsistency
