Offering generally excellent picture quality and a host of features, the 40-inch, 1080p KDL-40V5500 LCD TV is surprisingly cheap for a large Bravia TV. Committed videophiles may notice a backlight inconsistency issue, but, for most users, this set ...

Aggressively priced for a large Bravia TV ; pictures look great most of the time ; good feature set for the money

Online services are very limited ; some backlight inconsistency ; no 100Hz engine

Extremely affordable by Sony's usual wallet-hammering standards, the Bravia KDL-40V5500 is a good, feature-laden TV. The only problem is that, due to a noticeable backlight problem, pictures aren't as consistently good as we'd like

The Sony Bravia KDL-40WE5 is definitive proof that effective eco-friendly features and first-class picture quality really can co-exist. Offering some of the best pictures we've seen from LCD technology, it's also attractive and formidably connected. ...

Could cut your electricity bill ; pictures look great ; bags of features ; looks cute

More expensive than equivalent non-eco-friendly models ; AppliCast Internet service is very limited ; no Wi-Fi connectivity ; requires care when setting up ; picture quality declines if viewed from an angle

Every TV brand and its mother is jumping on the eco bandwagon. But Sony's Bravia KDL-40WE5 offers more genuine power-saving features than any other TV we've seen to date. What's more, it does it without being ridiculously expensive, or compromising on ...

The 50-inch, 1080p LG 50PS6000 is a great plasma TV. Those seeking absolutely perfect picture quality will want to look elsewhere, but those who want a humungous set that offers good performance for a reasonable price will be more than happy with this ...

Great design ; plenty of features ; good picture quality

Black levels aren&apos ; t the best ; some pixel noise

If you're looking for cutting-edge picture quality, the LG 50PS6000 probably isn't for you. But, if you want a huge, good-quality, sensibly priced 1080p TV, it might very well be the perfect choice

A tidy little TV, the Panasonic Viera TX-L32X15B is a mid-range 32-inch LCD screen whose conservative styling couldn't offend even the pickiest of interior-decoration traditionalists. With three HDMIs, simple menus and excellent high-definition ...

Price ; simple design

Freeview picture quality ; sound not beefy enough for action movies

When we look at this TV we see a traditional, sturdy Panasonic design and that's a good thing. When we turn it on, however, the Freeview picture quality just isn't up to scratch, with a distinct lack of detail and rather unnatural colours. HD ...

The 46-inch, 1080p, LED-edge-lit UE46B8000 is fantastically thin, offers excellent picture quality and is packed full of useful and entertaining features. It's pricey and there are some patchiness issues with the backlight on rare occasions, but this ...

Fantastic picture quality ; attractive styling ; excellent media playback ; good widget capability

Backlight is patchy on all-black scenes and seems to have trouble adjusting itself quickly enough to on-screen changes in illumination ; expensive

The UE46B8000 is another stunning TV from Samsung. There are so many things about this TV that we adore. The picture quality is epic, the design is a thing of beauty and the extra features are both useful and fun. We noticed that the backlight did ...

It's not the most feature-packed set in the world and its design is rather conservative, but the 42-inch, 1080p Viera TX-P42S10 is still a terrific plasma TV. It's a brilliant performer with high-definition content and it offers a good Freeview ...

Excellent picture quality ; good design

Not the most exciting TV we&apos ; ve seen ; we&apos ; d like to see more than three HDMI sockets

If you want high-quality pictures, the Panasonic Viera TX-P42S10 won't disappoint. We really like everything about this TV -- Blu-ray movies look stunning, Freeview is handled well and the configuration options are simple but still cover the important ...

If you discount its ridiculous name, the 42-inch, 1080p Art SL 42 Full-HD+ 100 DR+ LCD TV has plenty going for it. It's attractive, boasts good picture and sound quality, and offers more configuration options than you can shake a stick at. The real ...

Good picture ; powerful sound ; attractive design

Expensive ; not as many HDMI inputs as we think there should be

Over £3,000 gets you a fair amount of TV. We love the styling of the Loewe Art SL 42 Full-HD+ 100 DR+, and the extra functionality you can add also makes this a really excellent choice for people who want plenty of cool toys in one box. Sound and ...

Representing LG's first entry into the freesat TV market, the 42-inch 42LF7700 LCD TV with a 1080p resolution is an admirable effort at a reasonable price. Boasting a seriously attractive design, it also offers hugely watchable pictures, although its ...

Generally good picture quality ; attractive design ; key freesat functionality has been integrated very well ; fair price

Black-level response isn&apos ; t the best ; standard-definition pictures can look slightly soft ; electronic programme guide is sluggish

LG might be the first brand to enter the freesat TV market following the end of Panasonic's exclusive freesat deal, but there are few signs that anything's been rushed with the 42LF7700. It's not a perfect TV, but it's certainly very likeable

Unfortunately, the 1080p, 46-inch Aquos LC46DH77E LCD TV doesn't fully deliver on its eco-friendly promise. It's just as well, then, that this set looks fantastic, puts in a mostly excellent performance with high-definition content, and bears a ...

Lovely design ; HD pictures frequently look excellent ; remarkably cheap for such a large TV ; apos ; eco&apos ; button on the remote could help you save money

Weak audio ; black levels and standard-definition pictures could be better ; green features are disappointing ; manual is huge for an ostensibly eco-friendly TV

While Sharp is to be congratulated on trying to bring green issues to the fore with the Aquos LC46DH77E, it's hard to see the supposedly ground-breaking eco button really making much of a difference to the planet's fate. But the set does deliver good ...

The HD Ready Viera TX-L26X10 is pricey for a no-frills, 26-inch LCD TV, but it offers a better AV performance than the vast majority of its rivals. It won't win any design awards, but if you're looking for a second-room TV and care about performance, ...

Built-in SD card slot ; generally good pictures with standard- and high-definition sources ; better sound quality than you usually get with a 26-inch LCD TV

Not cheap for what it is ; images can look dull if watched in a very bright room ; black levels could be better

Many manufacturers don't really take 26-inch TVs seriously. But, while the Panasonic Viera TX-L26X10 might be low on interesting features and more expensive than many of its rivals, it does at least produce a superior AV performance
