TVs

This is the first of Pioneer's new Kuro two-box plasma TVs we've tested, and very fine it is too. But is it better than the Award-winning PDP-LX5090?

It's huge, for sure, and costs a packet, but if you have the room and the cash this gigantic Pioneer plasma will please you no end

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
