The Samsung LA40A650 is a very good all-rounder which particularly shines in high definition, but it's facing some talented competition.
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.
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.
The Sony Bravia 46W4000 offers exceptional image and sound quality at a reasonable price.
The Sharp LC46D83X boasts high levels of black and imparts a real sense of depth, but interlacing problems over moving images spoil the party.
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.
The latest Samsung LA46A650 is another fine all-rounder from Samsung, and it features striking design and an involving picture.
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 Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD800A is a 37-inch LCD television which features 1080p/24p support, three HDMI ports and a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast.
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.
The Samsung LA32A650A1 is a 32-inch TV with a difference — it's a full 1080p resolution — and it also features the company's new Crystal Design, 100Hz and four HDMI ports.
The Samsung LA46A750 is part of Samsung's new 7 Series and features stunning design, an Ethernet port and the second generation of the company's 100Hz technology.
While the Philips 32PFL9432D is an excellent television in terms of image quality and features, a few annoyances make it less desirable to own than other units on the market.
Daewoo's 42-inch DLV-42U1GMB LCD TV makes a compelling argument for why sometimes, cheaper LCDs aren't necessarily worse.
We quite liked the Sharp LC32D53X as a whole, and with many other 100Hz televisions causing more problems than they fix, it was good to see something less intrusive and pleasing to the eye.
The LG 32LB9D offers exceptional image quality at a reasonable price. It isn't jam packed with features like some televisions but picture quality and design are all it really needs.
The Samsung LA32R81BDX delivers excellent image quality across high definition and standard definition content and will suit most users' needs.
If you are in the market for a high quality television but have limited space, the Sony Bravia KDL-32D3100 will certainly fit the bill nicely.
The LG 47LY3DE does without some of the niceties of cutting edge sets, but this is a competent TV with a handy onboard recorder.
The Samsung LA46F81BDX could have been such a great television but its poorly implemented 100Hz feature has let it down miserably.

HD Olympics: A look behind the scenes
We take a tour through the International Broadcast Centre at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, plus see some of the technology employed at the Olympic venues.
It's been a big year for Pioneer. First it announced that it would be ceasing production on its own plasma panels and then we found out it would be producing an LCD TV, which on the face of it sounds like heresy.
