Panasonic Viera TX-37LZ800M

Panasonic Viera TX-37LZ800M

This flagship 2008 Panasonic Viera LCD TV delivers brilliant colours and soulful sounds, but is held back by a less than ideal PC resolution support and a broken anti-judder 24p function.

Sony Bravia KDL32V4000

The Sony Bravia KDL32V4000 offers excellent detail, colour and contrast but despite its 1080p resolution the set's high price and motion issues let it down.

Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A   Editors’ Choice

This flagship Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A is just as good as or even better than the Pioneer LX Kuro in many areas and at a far more reasonable asking price, too.

The Toshiba Regza 42AV500A is a great mid-range unit with an attractive price point. It's not perfect but it will certainly please the budget consumer.

LG Scarlet 42LG61YD

LG Scarlet 42LG61YD

The LG Scarlet 42LG61YD is an exceptional 1080p television with great design, features and a well implemented 100Hz mode. Considering the cost and the improvements over the previous Scarlet, this is definitely a good buy.

Sharp LC46D83X

Sharp LC46D83X

The Sharp LC46D83X boasts high levels of black and imparts a real sense of depth, but interlacing problems over moving images spoil the party.

Panasonic TH-42PZ800A   Editors’ Choice

If sport or movies are your aim then plasma is still the king, and the Panasonic TH-42PZ800A offers a great picture for a great price.

Philips 42PFL9703D

Philips 42PFL9703D

We had high hopes for the Philips 42PFL9703D, but a poorly performing 100Hz mode and some set-up quirks means the TV isn't quite the Bravia killer we first thought.

Panasonic TH-42PX8A

Panasonic TH-42PX8A

The Panasonic TH-42PX8A is a marked improvement on the 700 series, which is quite an achievement for a budget plasma. Pity it's not true HD, though.

LG 42PG60UD

The LG 42PG60UD is a large improvement on the LG plasma range and will no doubt suit anyone looking for a 720p television with style and quality.

LG Scarlet 42LG60FD

LG Scarlet 42LG60FD

The LG 42LG60FD, or Scarlet as it's otherwise known, is a flashy, style-oriented LCD which thankfully has the performance and features to back it all up.

The Sony Bravia KDL52X3100 is a decent 52-inch LCD television with an involving, detailed picture but is about to be eclipsed by next-gen models.
