Sony Bravia KDL-20S4000

Is there a market for 20-inch TVs? Sony's KDL-20S4000 looks unique, and you can carry it around the house.

Out of the box, this Bravia made an instant impression in the PCA Labs - you'll either love or hate the candy-coloured scheme. Tech enthusiasts might shudder, but female reactions to the screen were very positive. There's a black option if pink isn't to y...

Sony KDL-W4000 Series LCD TV (32",40",46",52")

Sony KDL-52W4000

By Staff writers

The Sony bandwagon rolls on; this is another simple to use set that produces brilliant big-screen images

Switch on and you're greeted by the PlayStation 3 style menu system, which is big, bold and clear. We fire-up the auto set-up, run through our own THX Optimizer picture settings, and then sit back ready to enjoy the show

Panasonic TH PZ700 Series TV (42",50",58",65")

Panasonic TH-65PZ700A

By Staff writers

If you've the money and dream of owning a humungo-wall-telly, then the Panasonic will go a long way to fulfilling your dreams

Big is always better. Up-to-date spec. Great picture performance

Motion tracking is a bit dodgy. Price. You might need to buy a bigger house

Every day, we creep a little closer towards realising our fevered dreams of futuristic homes with walls that transform into huge TV panels

Sony BRAVIA KDL-X3500 Series LCD TV (40",46",52")

Sony KDL-70X3500

By Staff writers

Homer Simpson's home town of Springfield's motto is: A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man. There must be a glut of noble spirit at Sony

Its considerable 76kg bulk having been wrestled from its enormous flight case by an entire team of wheezing reviewers, the Sony simply dominates one of our larger viewing rooms with its presence

Pioneer PDP-428XD/508XD

Pioneer PDP-428XDA

By Staff writers

Slightly older model, but the best 42in TV you can buy, full stop. Not cheap, but the quality is all up there on the screen

Fabulous black depth. Amazing contrast. Generally wondrous picture

Not Full HD. But when everything else is this good, that doesn't matter

Kuro means black in Japanese, and it's fundamental to the company's new range of plasmas. Each set, from 42in to 60in, has been designed to deliver dramatically better black levels than any other flat TV on the market: Pioneer claims an 80 percent improve...

Fujitsu P-XHA58 Series Plasma TV (42",50")

Fujitsu P50XHA58EB

By Staff writers

Fujitsu has produced a sophisticated, good-looking screen that offers involving images - but it just doesn't offer the value for money or features of its rivals.

Sophisticated good looks are matched by the picture performance

Where are the features you'd expect for this money?

There are no swooping lines, odd-shaped speakers or mind-boggling stands, just an extremely slender piano-black bezel surrounding a very large screen

Pioneer PDP-427XDA

Pioneer PDP-427XDA

By Staff writers

A fine TV that offers a rich, warm picture but comes up just a tiny bit short against rival sets from Sony and Philips

Neat design. Great off-air performance

Slightly lacking definition

Don't think that'll leave you shortchanged, though. Your money will still get you two HDMI inputs, an integrated digital freeview tuner and a sleek, refined built-in speaker running along the bottom of the screen to replace the optional side-mounted speak...

Philips PF9831 Series LCD HDTV(37",42")

Philips 42PF9831D

By Staff writers

Older screen, but in its day a super screen at a super price, though it's large

Fantastic picture quality; Ambilight technology is easy on the eye; fairly cheap considering its size

It is a bit of a heffer, though

Our only concern is the size of the unit. All of these technological advances mean that the 42PF9831D is unusually large �€" we've seen 50in plasmas of more diminutive dimensions

Sony KDL-40V4000

Sony KDL-40V4000

By Staff writers

We think this TV is a real bargain - a good few quid cheaper than comparable models and every bit as impressive

Once turned on you'll see that this set doesn't have the PlayStation3-style Xross MediaBar, but there's a perfectly slick, easy-to-use remote instead

Panasonic TH-PZ800 TV Series(42",50")

Panasonic Th-46PZ800A

By Staff writers

The TH-46PZ81 shouldn't be applauded only because of its features - it delivers a great plasma TV picture.

The picture is stable and colours are rich and inviting. Switch to the HD content pand the level of detail and edge definition reaches a new high. The Panasonic does a fine job of upscaling standard definition material to match its Full HD resolution, Sna...
