Thin frame, picture quality, three HDMI slots

Setup menu clunky, blue light on front

If you're looking for good performance with no frills, this is definitely worth checking out

Small screen, big noise

Time for a new TV?

Considering the number of connections, the CV range gives you a big bang for your buck, especially at the small end. The design might not compete with some rivals, for example from Philips or Sony, but you do get a lot for your money.

Is this the best Philips TV yet?

Superb performance, dramatic impact from the ambilight, available dirt cheap (if you're lucky)

Lacks some important connectivity, absence of preset environment modes

The 47-inch screen from Philips? new Ambilight range is a superb display, leaving much of its competition in the LCD market in the shade

- Humax has produced some of the more successful PVRs over the last year so it's no real surprise to see the name behind the feature-rich LP32-TDR1. This 32" LCD is most notable for the inclusion of a built in PVR sporting a generous 160GB hard drive ...

Impressive performance from the digital tuner, PVR integrates well, decent range of features

Small, good picture quality, good looking hardware

Analogue tuner only, poor portable reception

A truly portable telly that only really works well indoors

- Sharp's new Aquous range falls well into the "future proof" category, assuming that people are ready to invest in 1080p screens for higher resolution video.

Superb, consistent picture quality, impressive audio from the surround speakers, beautiful design

The 52in on test is relatively expensive compared to smaller panels in the same range

If you can afford it and you're looking for an LCD this size, the Sharp puts you in a perfect position to take advantage of upcoming 1080p video while offering fantastic picture quality and a great all-round package

- In the past Acer has been known more for its success in the notebook and LCD market than with LCD TVs, but a new range looks to offer a desirable combination of both value and quality.

Great picture quality, very usable, good range of connectivity, slimline build

No 1080p support, not a lot of extras but at this price we can't complain
