Sony Bravia KDL-V4500 Series LCD TV (26",32",37",40")

Sony Bravia KDL-26V4500

By Vincent Lheur

This model is the 26 inch version of the 32 inch TV that we tested in our labs, the Bravia 32V4500. Everything we said in the original article holds true--the only thing that's different is the size! The components, both physical and electronic, are ...

This is one of the best entry-level TVs we've ever seen, which can reasonably get away with HD Ready definition thanks to its small sizes. At 26'', it's the only TV this small we've ever given such a high score to!

HMB Media 110

HMB 110

By Régis Jehl

The guiding principle behind the Home Media Box 110 remains the same as on earlier models: a good value multimedia hard drive with solid performance but a low price. That's the idea, anyway

- Good audio support, - Remote conrol

- Poor video support, - Very limited video outputs: HD not even available for photos

This product's trump card has to be its price, but it's unlikely to satisfy anybody who's invested in a HD TV, even for looking at photos. It's only really an option if you have an SD TV, and even then it's quite weak ...

Sony Bravia KDL-Z4500 Series TV (40",46",52")

Sony Bravia KDL-52Z4500

By Vincent Lheur

This model is the 52 inch version of the 40 inch TV that we tested in our labs, the Bravia 40Z4500. Everything we said in the original article holds true--the only thing that's different is the size! The components, both physical and electronic, are ...

The Z4500 adds even more features to the excellent W4500 that we tested very recently: MotionFlow is now at 200 Hz, a sub-woofer is included and the remote control has been improved. If it was easy to endorse Sony's earlier model as an excellent ...

Just a shade pricer than the earlier W4000, the W4500 offers excellent image quality thanks to the addition of Motionflow 100 Hz which works a treat laking this an excellent value TV.

Panasonic TX-LZD80 Series LCD TV (32", 37")

Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD80F

By Vincent Lheur

Now offering a range of LCD TVs that is as complete as its collection of plasma screens, Panasonic has brought us this new model with Full HD 1080p. The screen itself is matt, which will be welcome news to those of you who have their TV in a bright ...

- Excellent colors, - Wide viewing angle, - Very good scaling for SD images (DVDs/consoles)

- Slightly weak contrast, - Digital tuner can't receive HD images

Panasonic has put its name to a very worthy LCD screen, which suffers from a relatively poor contrast and, above all, from the absence of a digital tuner capable of receiving HD images.

Panasonic TX-32LXD85 / TX-37LXD85

Panasonic Viera TX-37LXD85F

By Vincent Lheur

With satisfactory performances for the entry level, the LXD85F is actually too expensive at the moment.

Philips PFL7603 Series TV (37",42",47",52")

Philips 42PFL7603D

By Vincent Lheur

We clearly prefer the PFL7603H version to the --D-- which has too many downsides in addition to the absence of an HD compatible digital tuner.

Philips PFL9703 Series LCD TV (32",37",42",47",52")

Philips 42PFL9703H

By Vincent Lheur

The PFL9703H does produce nice images; however, it mainly suffers from its dynamic gamma correction that cannot be deactivated and black that could be deeper.

By Vincent Lheur

Devoid of an HD digital tuner, the PFL9703D loses a star compared to the H version.
