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

Editor's rating 9.0

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. Although its standard-definition pictures aren't perfect, its high-definition performance is terrific, and it's stuffed with features, including Panasonic's Viera Cast online service, and built-in freesat and Freeview tuners

Editor's rating 8.9

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

Editor's rating 8.4

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

Editor's rating 6.1

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. Besides tonnes of features and connections, this colossal set offers spectacular pictures that outstrip Panasonic's already very high standards

Editor's rating 9.0

LG PS7000 (50PS7000)

Aggressively priced for a 50-inch, 1080p plasma TV, the 50PS7000 nevertheless packs a powerful punch. It's tastefully designed, offers good connectivity and sports exemplary menus. Most importantly, its pictures are unusually aggressive for a plasma set, so its hi-def performance is frequently spectacular

Editor's rating 7.0

Cello C1973FIP

With a built-in iPod dock and DVD player, the 19-inch, HD Ready C1973FIP LCD TV will appeal to those who are either short on space or just hate clutter. You can't expect top-notch picture quality from a machine of this type at this price, but it offers decent performance and convenience in a cute design

Editor's rating 5.9

Toshiba Regza XV (37XV635DB)

The Regza 37XV635DB isn't particularly expensive for a 37-inch, 1080p LCD TV, but it's still got plenty going for it. Its minimalist design is pleasing, its performance with standard-definition material is particularly good, it packs an effective video-processing suite, and its audio isn't bad either

Editor's rating 7.0

Philips 9000 (37PFL9604H/12)

The 37-inch, 1080p 37PFL9604H/12 LCD TV more than makes up for its stupid name with its stunning pictures, huge feature set, glamorous design and surprisingly good audio. But it's not one for the technologically faint of heart -- you'll need to spend a fair amount of time in the menus to get the best out of this beast

Editor's rating 9.0

LG LH3000 (47LH3000)

We weren't expecting much from the 47-inch, 1080p 47LH3000 LCD TV, since it bears a startlingly low price tag. But it confounded our expectations at every turn, offering striking pictures, excellent menus and an attractive design. This set is a real bargain

Editor's rating 7.5

Sharp Aquos LE600 (LC40LE600E)

The 1080p, 40-inch Aquos LC40LE600E is remarkably affordable for an LED-backlit LCD TV. While Sharp's cut a few corners to keep the price down, the set looks great and its pictures are often blisteringly intense, without any of LED backlighting's usual unpleasant side effects

Editor's rating 8.2

Panasonic Viera TX-P42G15

You'll need to lay down a sizeable wad of cash to buy the 42-inch, 1080p Viera TX-P42G15 plasma TV, but it's worth it. This set boasts exceptional picture quality and is jam-packed with features, including an on-board freesat HD tuner and Web connectivity
