TVs

It’s worth knowing that the Sharp LC19D1E set won’t handle a 1080/24p signal, but 720p pictures aren’t far behind the best in class

A good big-screen plasma, and well worth an audition – although we'd be sure to try out its key rival too

It's cheap and the TV tuner is decent, but we're put off by the lacklustre video performance

This is one of the best 42in screens out there. Whether it's worth the money, only you can decide

The combination of looks, specification and performance means this Samsung elbows its way on to the top table

This 42in set not only packs in bags of functionality at a fantastic price, including a 160GB hard disk recorder, but it performs quite brilliantly

A solid performance and keen price means Toshiba's calling time on supermarket-brand TVs

It looks pretty and pictures are excellent, but this Philips has a glut of picture options and is a bit of a pain to set up and use

The ninth generation of Pioneer's Kuro plasma range is its best yet, and we couldn't stop ourselves marvelling at the sensational picture quality

The JVC's built-in PVR is the headline, but this set is a solid picture performer, too
