LG 42LH50YD

LG 42LH50YD

By Ty Pendlebury

lg 42lh50yd review: The LG 42LH50YD is a very capable television with a smattering of features, but don't buy it simply for the 200Hz mode.

Excellent sound ; Superb image processing ; Attractive design ; Eco-friendly modes

200Hz mode is bad ; Poor off-axis viewing

KDL-46Z5500

Sony Bravia KDL46Z5500

By Philip Wong

sony bravia kdl46z5500 review: The Sony Bravia KDL46Z5500 is seemingly made for sport with an enhanced 200Hz Motionflow engine and a slimmer, less obtrusive bezel.

Excellent black levels • Detailed images • 200Hz is suited to sport • DLNA streaming onboard

DVD replay could be better • 200Hz is poor with non-broadcast sources

Samsung UA40B7100

Samsung UA40B7100

By Ty Pendlebury

samsung ua40b7100 review: The Samsung UA40B7100 is the most "entertaining" television yet, and further evidence that the way forward for LCD televisions is in LED-backlighting.

Yet another strong television from Samsung ; Good black levels for an LCD ; Oodles of useful features ; Slim, and one of the best wall-mounting solutions yet

Over-sharp at default settings introducing noise ; Pricey ; Requires a lot of tweaking to get the best picture quality

Sony Bravia KDL-WE5 Series LCD HDTV (40",46")

Sony Bravia KDL40WE5

By Pam Carroll

sony bravia kdl40we5 review: The Sony Bravia KDL40WE5 is an impressive first stab at creating a "green" LCD, and while picture quality is good you pay a premium for the proprietary backlight.

Impressive picture ; DLNA support ; Audio ; Solid attempt at creating a power-efficient TV

Price ; Some of the Eco features are a bit naff ; LED backlighting is more power efficient

LG 42PQ60

LG 42PQ60D

By Ty Pendlebury

lg 42pq60d review: The LG 42PQ60D is a budget plasma that also performs like one. While design and picture quality are mostly good, we'd spend a little bit more on a Panasonic instead.

Impressive black levels ; Effective noise reduction ; Best for movies ; Cheap! ; Sleek design

Only 1024x768 resolution resulting in... ; ...Aliasing artefacts ; Smeared tuner
