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.

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

Interesting attempt at creating an innovative TV, but some of its promised functionality is yet to be realised
