What 46 inch TV has the best picture
Hi everyone,
Just a quick question nothing too technical, what is the best 46" TV for picture perfomance, have a large collection of blu rays and enjoy watching HD sport, and what blu ray player should i pair it with for optimum performance.
Thanks,
Mike
Two contenders for me here either the Samsung UE46ES8000 (or 7000 if money is tight) or the new Sony KDL-46HX853...what is your budget though?
As luck would have it, we have a Supertest of the latest 46-47in TVs in the August issue of the magazine, on sale June 29th. All will be revealed then 
Any chance you could reveal the contenders Andy??
Thanks everyone,
My budget would probably be no more than £2K, obviously dont really want to spend that, i currently have a Sony KDL40W4500 and Panasonic DMPBD55 blu ray player, must be coming up to 4 years now but the picture is still fantastic, so i really want to see a difference paying that sort of money.
What about a 50-inch TV? Look at the Panasonic GT50 & VT50. If it was my money, I would choose between the 2 Panasonics, & Sony HX853.
Most TVs in the market can be bought for your budget.
Got to agree with bigboss re the two Panasonic options but i only suggested the tvs that i did originally due to the screen size you wanted but if you were to look at a 50 inch tv then the VT50 is simply stunning and is where my money would go without hesitation, it's probably the best tv you could buy at the moment.
Cheers guys, will there be a massive difference from the TV i have?
In terms of the Kuro i know this gets discussed a lot but is the Pana the nearest?
I have the samsung ue55es8000 and have to say that even after a month of owning it I'm still amazed by the picture quality. So on that basis I'd have to say you should seriously looks at the 46es8000, however you also mention your budget can stretch to 2 grand and if that'd the case why don't you just get the 55es8000? Prices have dropped recently and I got mine from John Lewis on their price match scheme for £1985, they also give you a 5 year extended warranty and currently if you buy a samsung tv you get a free galaxy pad!! It's a great deal.
Hi Mickgw I have just bought the panasonic vt 50 all I can say is wow fantastic picture and internet also sound quality is very good so you don't need av amp on all of the time

Many thanks Andy, i'm looking forward to the results in the next issue.
Yup, it's a good one 
Is this a clue, new today?
I'm surprised the 46es8000 didn't make it not this considering the rave review you gave it Andy
