Reviews

  • Samsung UA46B8000

    The Samsung UA46B8000 is a storming LCD television: it features exquisite looks, excellent picture quality and a host of networking features.

  • LG 50PS70FD

    The LG 50PS70FD with "Time Machine Link" is an even better deal than its more expensive sibling, and is just as capable as a television.

  • Pioneer PDP-C509A

    The Pioneer PDPC509A is the last of the mighty Kuros, and features a 1080p resolution, three HDMI ports and enhanced contrast in bright environments.

  • LG 50PS80FD

    The LG LG 50PS80FD "Time Machine" plasma is a very good all-rounder, which also doubles as a useful DVR — as long as you don't expect too much from it.

  • Loewe Art 42 SL Full-HD+ 100 DR+

    Not within everyone's ballpark, the Loewe Art 42 SL is a pricey LCD TV, but if you can afford it, you won't be disappointed. It's a stylish bit of kit with plenty of upgrade and customisable options.

  • LG 42LH50YD

    The LG 42LH50YD is a very capable television with a smattering of features, but don't buy it simply for the 200Hz mode.

  • Panasonic VIERA TH-P42G10A

    The Panasonic VIERA TH-P42G10A is a 42-inch plasma which features three HDMI ports, 1080p resolution and a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio.

  • HP 2309m

    At a price of AU$649, the 2309m is a decent buy. While it performs well, the blacks aren't as deep as we'd like, and we'd be more tempted to find something with a matte screen to cut down on reflections.
