The special one?

Net TV, connectivity, best-ever HD pics, awesome speakers

Picture settings hidden, remote needs more buttons, expensive

Encompassing everything from internet access to Wi-Fi connection to a computer, the 32PFL9604 proves, above all, to be a stellar performer with any video source

Only high-def addicts need apply

With an excellent performance with high-def and below-par digital TV, the KDL-46W5500 presents something of a conundrum. If you intend to buy a TV of this size and continue watching Freeview and DVDs, buy a plasma - no question about it. But if a diet ...

Last year's tech?

Packed with HD goodness it might be, but the KDL-37S5500's versatility is limited. With a picture that never extends beyond average, it's a stark reminder that LCD TV tech hasn't yet caught up with plasma - even HD Ready models - in this price bracket ...

Sharp crosses the thin green line

Also available in 32-inch, 42-inch and 52-inch sizes, the LC-46DH77E makes for a very good value TV despite some imperfections. You won't find many bells and whistles here, but if you're after a monster screen to pair with a Blu-ray player there's few ...

Depending largely on 2008 tech, it's a toss-up between this set and its broadly similar Full HD forerunners, the £550 Panasonic TX-32LZD80 or £600 TX-32LZD85. But if your games console or Blu-ray player is itching for a playmate, the TX-L32S10B is a ...

Mounting excitement

Gorgeous remote control, terrific high-def pictures, slim screen, strap-on soundbar

Clunky separate media box, ugly cabling, preset picture modes

Slim and wall-mountable using just one cable, the Essence meets its brief, but could do better

Mounting excitement

Some decent audio emanating from the strap-on speaker bar is a highpoint of a TV that meets its brief, but could do better: a media receiver half the size and a cable that doesn't resemble a hose-pipe would make the Essence concept more convincing, ...

Pretty as a picture?

So the KDL-40E4000 is a decent TV, but it's hardly unique; even the KDL-40W4000 has the Picture Frame mode. So the extra couple of hundred pounds you'll spend on the KDL-40E4000 is basically for the colour choice. Those more interested in getting a ...
