The good:

  • Excellent colour and blacks
  • Great contrast
  • Able to outperform last year's plasmas
  • Luxurious finish

The bad:

  • Still some clouding issues
  • Colour favours green over blue
  • Can save money choosing X series instead

The bottomline:

The Sony KDL46XBR is an excellent example of the LCD art, and includes up-to-date -- and working! -- features, and sumptuous styling.

    Samsung LA40A650

    The Samsung LA40A650 is a very good all-rounder which particularly shines in high definition, but it's facing some talented competition.

  • Toshiba Regza 42AV500A

    Toshiba Regza 42AV500A

    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.
