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

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 KDL-52W4500

Having recently liked the performance of Sony's Bravia KDL-46Z4500 LCD TV before being put off by its high price, we took delivery of the much better value KDL-52W4500 with a real sense of anticipation. If it can approach the quality of the 46Z4500 at a much lower price per inch, it'll be just fine by us

LG 52LG5000

It's big and it's cheap -- well, comparitively speaking -- and that combination is the LG 52LG5000's appeal. For the more quality-discerning types, it does have some black level problems, but they're not terrible. Plus, the TV's design, 'invisible' speakers and basic features are all solid
