This is the kind of TV people will move house to accommodate - available at a bargain price

Fine Blu-ray images. Impressive contrast. Excellent off-air performance

Sound isn't great

Neatly straddling the gap between 40in and 50in TV screens, this 46-incher gives a lovely big image from its compact chassis

Stable, lustrous images, especially with HD. Build, finish and spec are all on the money

Black levels not up to Panasonic's usual standards

Hitachi's latest 50in plasma sports a handy 250GB hard-disk for recording. Is it the most convenient all-in-one TV solution?

250GB hard disk recorder. Twin digital tuners. 1080p spec. Plenty of sockets. Smooth, solid picture

Can be a little clunky to use. Plasma picture isn't quite up with the class-leaders

A wireless network media player in a telly? A super-sexy 1080p one, to boot? That'll be Loewe's Connect 37 Media

Slick concept. Excellent integration. Good picture. Superb sound. Gorgeous looks

Picture has some noise. Doesn't support Apple Lossless. Hard-disk and Freesat modules are cost options

Philips has delivered the first 'glow in the dark' TV, with colourful - and very expensive - results. Is it worth the premium?

Stunning picture quality. Unique looks. Stuffed with cutting-edge tech

Light Frame tech might be too showy for some. Very expensive

This Panny offers 32 inches of screen and a digital tuner for very little cash. Surely there's a catch?

Great picture. Impressive digital tuner. A bargain

Speakers not the best

TVs don't get any more stylish than Philips' lookers, and this 32-incher is no exception. But does the picture match the design?

Smartly styled. Lovely blacks. Class-leading sound

Picture can lack insight

Sony's latest 32in LCD is a budget offering - but can it maintain its high standards in a competitive market?

Class-leading picture. Good digital tuner

Slight 'budget' feel to the design. Average sound. No third HDMI

Preview: Plasmas, LCDs? What are these quaint devices you speak of? It's time you checked out the future of telly - Sony's XEL-1 OLED screen

3mm thick. Incredible brightness and contrast. Energy saving

Super pricey. Eleven inches of TV just ain't enough

This stylish and very capable portable set is better quality than most no-name supermarket specials - and isn't a lot more expensive

HD-ready. Good range of inputs. Decent picture. Good value

Won't take 1080p, but that's not really an issue on a screen this small
