"Best picture I've seen for under £1100"
What I like:
Stunning SD and HD images. What else do we need?
What I don't like:
Plastics' feel, sound could be "deeper".
Review:
Just bought this TV after a long search. Waited for 3-4 months to see prices dropping. I still believe that no LCD is capable of producing better pictures than this one (especially on SD programs). My only consideration was that it's not Full-HD but I had to pay at least £700 more for a descent 1080p LCD. My other choice was Hitachi 9700 but this was more expensive as well, without being better than this beauty! Although an old model now, it still has the best picture for the money! Note, that it has the same panel with the 600 series. Their only changes are the better speakers of the latter and the SD card slot. Excellent!

LG SL9000 (42SL9000)
Good but not great. It's not quite up there with the best of the LED-edge-lit competition
Philips 9000 (47PFL9664H/12)
Beautiful styling, superlative performance and an endless feature set make for a truly premium experience
Sony Bravia Z5800 (KDL-40Z5800)
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
