Toshiba Regza 42RV635DB is a 42-inch Full HD LCD TV with 50,000:1 contrast ratio, AutoView, Resolution+ to improve standard definition signals, four HDMI inputs and a host of power-saving features.

Without getting all nostalgic for bunny-ear aerials and tuning TVs with screwdrivers, it's good to find a set with an honest to goodness power switch in these virtualised times. This Regza's visuals are bang up to date, mind, thanks to various auto ...

If a TV sports a feature called AutoView, I want it to autonomously watch and report back on global warming documentaries, summarise boring footie matches and tell me what Lost is actually about, not merely adjust its brightness depending on ambient ...

Marketing nonsense aside, Toshiba has carved out a nice little niche for itself with this well-priced LCD. Solid video performance and expansive stereo sound more than make up for the disappointment of having to actually watch TV yourself.

The Sony Bravia KDL-46W5500 is a 46-inch Full HD LCD telly with 100Hz motion control, a tonne of picture processing features, 24p Cinema mode, eco settings and four HDMI ports.

LCD tellies have a shelf life comparable to accident-prone mayflies, so it's a joy to find a futureproof-ish, Full HD flat screen that concentrates on picture, sound and build quality at the expense of high-tech gimmicks. Having said that, this Bravia ...

No, colours aren't as rich nor blacks as solid as those on the LED-powered 46X4500, but that particular vixen costs twice as much as this foxy lady. Don't expect too much from AppliCast web apps either – the cheesy calculator, clock and FAQ widgets ...

Sony's tellies are marching proudly towards a new golden age, matching superb visuals with surprisingly affordable price-tags. Hardly budget priced but a bargain nonetheless.

To look at the Philips Cinema 21:9 is to want one. It's a one of a kind: the world's first ultra-widescreen television. The beauty of that is there's no more letterboxing (the black lines that appear above and below the picture during certain ...

It's not all perfect. If you're watching a film with subtitles, for instance, the Cinema will almost certainly crop them out in 21:9 mode. There is a special format setting, but that squeezes the picture and it's not ideal. Also, not all source ...

Now when we talk about cinemas in your living room, we'll be referencing the Philips Cinema. With its unique 21:9 widescreen styling it's the ultimate home cinema experience. In a word: awesome!

The Toshiba Regza 32RV635DB is a 32-inch Full HD (1080p) LCD television. It has a Freeview tuner, resolution enhancement, ambient light sensor, Dolby Volume, Eco Panel and four HDMI inputs. It measures just 86mm thick and weighs 12.7kg.

Toshiba isn't one to hold a grudge. With no less than four HDMI inputs on the board, this Regza positively welcomes Blu-ray players to its audio-visual party, spewing 1080p footage into your living room with an infectious energy. It's just the right ...

Strictly speaking, you don't really need full 1080p playback on a TV just 32 inches in size, even if you sit right next to the screen like your mum used to scold you for. Also, 100Hz scanning would have helped with occasionally jittery action sequences

A solid, well-made television for smaller rooms or gaming, the 32RV635DB is match for Sony's and Panasonic's image quality – as well as for Samsung's and LG's price point. Worth checking out.

The Sony Bravia KDL-46WE5 is an eco-friendly, Full-HD, 46-inch LCD TV. It runs on 140W of power, and on less than 0.2W on standby. It has a 100,000:1 contrast ratio, four HDMI ports and measures 1,123x772x107mm and weighs 23.2kg.

Tree hugging doesn't get any better-looking than this. Even if you scoff at the power-saving hot cathode backlight, the presence sensor that refuses to play to an empty room and a light sensor that balances brightness to ambient conditions (and you ...

Rebranding the power button as an ‘Energy Saving Switch' isn't really necessary, Sony. And adding a Picture Frame Mode – where the whole telly turns into an energy vampire digital photo frame – threatens to undermine your eco-credentials

Who said Sony had lost its magic? Smart, stylish, connected and green: the KDL-46WE5 ticks more boxes than you'll find under the tree at Christmas. Unless you're a cute seven-year old kid with a life-threatening disease.
