Set to stun

Our main concern is that black can look a lot deeper and subtler on a LED screen, something that should really be at the heart of a £2345 TV. Without any networking options, it's a shame that its USB input can accept only digital photos and not MP3 or ...

The future of video on the go?

Heavy, hurts your eyes as you have concentrate, can't see someone about to rob you, you look like an idiot wearing them

The OLED is bright, however while the technology is exciting, it still has a long way to go

Sony goes organic

Fluid picture, no blur, stunning colours

Tiny, not high-def, very expensive

The XEL-1 is a stunning glimpse into the future of flatscreens, but the price looks a little inhibitive

A bit of Lux-ury?

Unusual silver design, deep blacks, lively and blur-free images, detail, Ambilight lightshow

Must be set-up carefully, erratic click wheel on remote control

The finest LCD TV around? The 42PFL9803H's use of LED lights behind the screen bring a cinematic brilliance as good as any plasma

Bargain of the year?

Hot proposition for Christmas?

Go digital, but forget high-def

The TX-26LXD80 is very user-friendly. It's simple to use, the remote control is logically laid-out and the TV takes the pain away from setting it up by performing a few duties without being asked. As such, this is a great digital TV for undemanding ...
