Philips LCD TV: Maximum Excitement

Crave doesn't do things by half. If we're going to play Battlefield 2, a game more addictive than peanut M&Ms, we're going to do it on nothing less than an Alienware Aurora PC and a brand new, high definition 26-inch Philips LCD. A theatre of war hasn't looked this beautiful since Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line.

The 26PF5520 is gorgeous, taking the best of AV and PC connectivity and rolling it into one big, TV-shaped package. Best of all, it only costs around £800, making it a big-name competitor to our favourite bargain LCD, the Dell W2600. It's not just any old cheap TV -- it's fully high-definition compatible, has built-in Freeview and even a TopUp TV slot. As a sticker on the TV says, 'Excitement' has been turned up to the max. Unfortunately, we could find no controls on the remote control to adjust this promised excitement-o-meter, but a tight game of Battlefield 2 was certainly keeping us on tenterhooks.

We don't want to make any grandiose claims and say this is the most exciting budget LCD we've seen, but this could be the most exciting budget LCD we've seen. Find out the full story in our review soon. -GC
