Review:
I bought this TV after reading the review on FlatpanelsHD here: http://www.flatpanelshd.com/review.php?subaction=showfull&id=1236858201
The TV is not perfect but the LED Lux system is very good in my opinion. Contributes to very deep blacks.

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
