The telly that'll give you full HD on a budget

Cinematic HD picture; HDMI side input; Muffles adverts

Colour banding; Lacks fine detail

Good value from Toshiba, whose concentration on creating a cinematic experience is at the cost of fine detail

It'll sit pretty on your wall...

Colour; HDMI on side panel; Gorgeous onscreen menus

High price; Dodgy Freeview

Fabulous colour and smooth hi-def pictures make this a great option for games and Blu-ray, but Freeview is shabbily treated

Rounding up the best living room centre-pieces money can buy

Just to clarify my original post, it's the Hitachi UT32MH70 that Richer sounds were offering, it's 32" and only has one hdmi socket and no tuner. Not much use for anything other than a monitor

Samsung's added a dash of 21st century entertainment to your humble home television

Yahoo widgets; Network savvy media streaming; Great image quality

Average audio; CCFL backlight

Looks ordinary but is anything but...could this be the next big thing in LCD TV?

Films the way the director intended them to be watched

The clarity, depth and range; No more black bars

Quite expensive at 3999 Euros; Share  this; digg_url = "http://www.t3.com/tv/lcd-tv/philips-21-9-cinema-display-lcd-tv-first-look-review-review; digg_bgcolor = '#ffffff; digg_skin = 'icon; digg_window = 'new

Equipped with a full HD 2560 x 1080p screen with 8.3 million pixels, we knew the 21:9 would be a specialist purchase (a 3999 Euro purchase if you wish to buy when it's available in Spring) and we questioned whether such a product would ever venture ...

A tantalising glimpse into the future of TV

Amazing contrast ratio; Incredibly thin

High price; Small screen size; Tinny speakers

Until Sony (or whichever manufacturer) finds a way of producing panels big enough to fit on your living room wall that won't break the bank, we're content, for now just to admire the XEL-1 from afar.

Tripping the light fantastic

Superb picture quality; Eye-catching Ambilight and Active Frame; Good sound

The price tag

A definite improvement from the first run but you'll either love it or loathe it

Could this be the greatest TV?

Black levels; Sheer screen size

Took us ages to switch the thing off; Bit pricey

The closest to perfect a TV has ever been

Snaffle HD for under a grand

Excellent value for money; Good black levels; Motion is usually smooth

Some judder, artefacts and noise visible in HD pictures

A budget 50-incher that doesn't really look or feel like a budget 50-incher. Solid performance, features and design.

Could this be the best 50" TV on the planet?

Truly stunning contrast ratio Excellent colour reproduction; Solid build

Whopping price tag; Shiny screen surface

"Yes, it's expensive, but that's because there is no better 50-inch television on the planet"
