LG 42LH50YD

The LH50 series offers excellent image quality for a regular backlit model. It doesn't compare with LED or plasma but it far more affordable.

Excellent image quality, 1080p, Attractive design, Wide range of connection options, Great speakers

backlights can make some blacks look a little grey, 200Hz can make images look artificial

Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR

If there is one word to describe the new Sony Bravia, it would be the word “better.” The new KDL-46XBR is one of those LCDs in the market that is well worth its asking price because of its new technology and picture quality. The TV shines with all ...

Product design ; Various connectivity ports ; Customisable colour settings ; Rich and vibrant colours

It took us quite some time before we got used to the unit's menu and remote control

LG PC1D Series Plasma TV (42",50")

LG has just launched a new range of flat-panel TVs, but we take a look at one of the slightly older ones; a 50-inch plasma at a killer price tag - the price is right, but is it really a bargain?

Not a minger ; reasonable audio ; connectivity

Unsatisfying image quality ; high levels of video noise ; contrast

Not as good as its main competitors  Page: 1 2 [3]

Sony Bravia KDL-X2000 Series LCD TV (40",46",52")

Sony's X-Series Bravia screens represent the pinnacle of its flatscreen LCD aspirations. Does this 46-inch debut live up to the hype?

Lush design ; great pictures ; great connectivity

Slight motion smearing ; not confident with SD sources
