Most 37in flatscreens are LCDs ' but not Panasonic's. The 37PX70 is a plasma and a highly capable one at that

Excellent HD images. Quality build and finish

Occasionally overlooks fine detail. Average sound quality

In footballing terms, Sanyo's 32in LCD is a decent squad player with a good engine ' and a fraction of the price

Decent spec for the price. Vibrant colours. Capable Freeview tuner

Lack of detail causes flat pictures. Some motion-smearing

Humax's clutter-busting LCD comes with a built-in Freeview PVR, bargain price and some sharp styling. But can its picture match the CV?

Built-in PVR and digital tuner. Smart looks. Decent performance

Pictures lack quality of rivals. Max-length recordings lack composure

Philips comes good with a pricey but class-leading HD set that's sure to win over geeks and technophobes alike

Brilliant picture. Easy set-up. Effective extras

A bit on the bulky side

The stunning TX-26LXD70 comes with top-notch picture performance and a spec list to match

Fabulous contrast. Great colours and definition. Superb tuner

Price is a little steep compared to its peers

Toshiba is back with a bang ' the 40XF355D is the most impressive flatscreen the company has released in ages

Excellent picture performance. Comprehensive spec. Gorgeous styling. Compact dimensions for screen size

You can get better black depth for this price from a plasma

You've got your enormo-screen as your living-room focal point, but now you can't bring yourself to look at that 14in portable in the bedroom. You need to upgrade, my friend.

Superb DVD performance. Fine off-air picture. All the connectivity options you need

Idiot remote. Costlier (relatively speaking) than your average Tosh

Fabulous performance, great looks and build, extensive spec. Is this the best 46in flatscreen around?

Formidable picture quality. Extensive socket fit and adjustability. Stylish.

It's nearly a grand more expensive than any rival. Ouch.

50in screen with blinding performance says it all.

The best picture performance we've seen from a flat screen, whether the source is hi, or standard definition

Six grand. Six grand. Six grand…apart from that, nothing

A super screen at a super price, but don't be put off by the overall size

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

It is a bit of a heffer, though
