It's almost laughably expensive, but can this stunning 42-incher make us delirious with its performance?

Svelte looks. Simple to wall-mount. Separate media box. Impressive, convincing pictures from all sources

1,800 is a lot of money for a TV in the current market

Tosh's new telly promises "near HD quality" images, no matter the source - but can it really deliver the pixel-perfect goods?

Good overall picture quality. Stacked with picture-tweaking features

Resolution+ technology doesn't really wow. Low on digital media functionality

Samsung's latest LCD is slim, stylish and sports some tasty media-streaming skills

Superb detail and black levels. Thin, stylish design. Stacked with features

Poor built-in speakers. Sluggish menu screens

Pioneer marks its debut in the LCD TV market with a scorching 37inch set. But can your credit card handle it?

Awesome Freeview performance. Natural, realistic picture with standard-def and high-def material

Slightly uneven backlight. Pricey for the size

Philips' light and skinny new set looks ideal for wall-hanging - but will the exclusion of Ambilight let it down?

Very thin and easy to hang. Excellent HD picture. Good sound quality

Some picture quirks. No Ambilight

LG's new PVR TV has the lowest possible resolution for hi-def, but as a Freeview telly it's hard to equal

Fine off-air TV performance. Solid sound. Simple HD recording. Good value for a 42in TV

It's not Full HD, should you care about these things

Teaming Freesat HD with a big Full HD picture, this top-spec Panasonic is a bargain way to watch hi-def broadcasting

The convenience of built-in Freesat. Excellent off-air performance. Punchy picture with Blu-ray. Proper contrast

Sound could be better, as could sharpness next to some rivals. Not as sexy as a few alternatives

Pioneer's ninth-generation plasma is one of the best 50in TVs you can buy, with staggering all-round picture quality

High resolution. Deep, dark blacks. Brilliant colours. Super-sharp detail. Complete specification

It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for

An incredibly able plasma television for less than £750? Behold, one of the biggest bargains in modern consumer electronics

Generally excellent image quality. Full HD spec. Value

Er…picture could be a little sharper and cleaner. We're being picky, though

This Toshiba's entry-level price belies its great picture and sound

Glossy, curvy chassis; rich blacks; good contrast levels

Blacks lack detail; picture not as clean or vivid as class leaders
