Sony Bravia EX1 (KDL-52EX1)

Sony seems to have let its mad scientists loose on the 52-inch, 1080p Bravia KDL-52EX1 LCD TV, judging by its bold, picture-frame design. Its appearance won't appeal to everyone, but the 1080i wireless connectivity is handy and the set's pictures aren't bad either

Editor's rating 7.7

JVC Xiview LT-42WX70

The 42-inch, 1080p LT-42WX70 LCD screen is a brave attempt by JVC to bring something new to the TV table. It's eye-wateringly expensive, but it offers awesome colour reproduction, excellent contrast and exceptionally sharp pictures, as well as a stunning design

Samsung B550 (LE40B550)

The 40-inch, 1080p LE40B550 LCD TV offers remarkable value for money, outperforming its budget price point by a country mile. Its speakers lack bass, and other Samsung TVs have more features, but its picture performance is great and it looks gorgeous

Editor's rating 8.9

LG SL9000 (42SL9000)

The 42-inch, 1080p, LED-edge-lit 42SL9000 is a mighty handsome LCD TV, with an astonishingly slender profile. It also offers tonnes of features, good picture quality and an extremely attractive user interface. Overall, it's an admirable attempt at stealing Samsung's super-slim-TV crown

Philips 9000 (47PFL9664H/12)

If ever there were a TV to warm the cockles, the 47-inch, 1080p 47PFL9664H/12 LCD TV is it. It's impressively slender and attractive, it's packed with more features than you'll ever use, and it delivers one of the best AV performances we've ever seen from an LCD TV

Editor's rating 9.1

Sony Bravia Z5800 (KDL-40Z5800)

The first telly from Sony to sport a built-in freesat tuner, the 40-inch, 1080p KDL-40Z5800 LCD TV is also one of the company's finest-performing sets. It's expensive and its audio isn't all it could be, but its pictures are generally fantastic and it looks very cool

Editor's rating 8.9

Toshiba Regza SV (46SV685DB)

The 46-inch, 1080p, LED-backlit Regza 46SV685DB is Toshiba's best flat-screen TV to date. Its pictures are superbly sharp, detailed and colourful, and it produces dark scenes with a depth and naturalism that no ordinary LCD TV can match. It doesn't come cheaply, though

Editor's rating 8.6

Samsung B7020WW (UE55B7020WW)

The 55-inch, 1080p UE55B7020WW LCD TV with LED edge lights looks like it's been sent from five years in the future, cramming an extraordinary amount of features into its incredibly svelte body. Its backlight-inconsistency flaw is disappointing, but its pictures are excellent otherwise

Sony Bravia ZX1 (KDL-40ZX1)

The 40-inch Sony Bravia KDL-40ZX1 LCD TV with LED edge lights looks stunning and is remarkably thin. Also capable of receiving a 1080i signal wirelessly -- which means less cable clutter -- it's a good choice if you want a TV whose mere appearance will make your friends insanely jealous

Editor's rating 6.6

LG SL8000 (42SL8000)

The strikingly slim, 42-inch, 1080p 42SL8000 is the best LG LCD TV we've seen so far. It's packed to bursting point with features and connections, its pictures are great 99 per cent of the time, and it looks beautiful. For the price, it's also remarkably good value

Cello C3298FR

Neither the C3298FR's audio or video performance is anything to get particularly excited about. But the fact that this 32-inch, HD Ready LCD TV with built-in DVD player can record programmes via its two built-in Freeview tuners to SD cards means it's definitely worth considering for those with cutting-edge tastes

Editor's rating 6.9

Panasonic Viera G15 (TX-P46G15)

The 46-inch, 1080p Viera TX-P46G15 plasma TV offers plenty of value for money.

Philips 7000 (32PFL7404H/12)

The 32-inch, 1080p 32PFL7404H/12 LCD TV may lack some of the potency of Philips' expensive 9000-series sets, but it's easily one of the finest tellies in its class when you compare it to similarly priced models. Bargain hunters will be delighted by its great picture quality and cornucopia of features

Editor's rating 8.7

Sony Bravia E5300 (KDL-22E5300)

The 22-inch, HD Ready Bravia KDL-22E5300 LCD TV blew our socks off so far that we still haven't found them. Its design is striking, its feature set is ambitious, and, most importantly, its picture quality is superb for such a small TV. This set's expensive, but, if you can afford it, you should buy it

Editor's rating 9.0

Sharp Aquos LE700 (LC46LE700E)

The 46-inch, 1080p, LED-backlit Aquos LC46LE700E LCD TV offers plenty of features for the price and is capable of delivering some spectacular images. Its motion-handling capability could be better, but its black-level response is frequently excellent and its colours are exceptionally vivid

Toshiba Regza ZV (42ZV635DB)

Packing plenty of picture-processing chops, the 42-inch, 1080p Regza 42ZV635DB's motion-handling capability is the best we've seen so far on a Toshiba LCD TV. The set's black levels could be better, but it offers an opulent design, good connectivity and a great deal of picture flexibility

Panasonic Viera V10 (TX-P58V10)

With Pioneer about to abandon the UK TV scene, the 58-inch, 1080p Viera TX-P58V10 plasma telly has emerged as a hugely worthy heir to the mega-screen throne.
