Sharp Aquos LE700 (LC-52LE700E)
The 52-inch, 1080p, LED-backlit Aquos LC-52LE700E LCD TV is a good option if you mainly watch high-definition material -- it delivers inky blacks, intense colours and impressive sharpness. Its standard-definition performance is less impressive, but this set is fairly cheap considering its size
Samsung C8000 (UE55C8000)
The 3D-ready, 55-inch, 1080p UE55C8000 LCD TV with LED edge lights is one of the most exciting tellies we've ever clapped eyes on. Even discounting its 3D capability, it's worth the steep price tag, thanks to its stunning styling, astonishing HD pictures and bountiful features. Our socks have been obliterated
Panasonic Viera G20 (TX-L37G20B)
The 37-inch, 1080p Viera TX-L37G20B LCD TV makes it as easy as pie to view high-definition content, thanks to its built-in Freeview HD and freesat HD tuners. Its standard-definition performance is also an improvement on Panasonic's usual offerings, and its audio is good too
LG LH3000 (42LH3000)
The 42LH3000 is one of the cheapest 42-inch, 1080p LCD TVs available from a big-name manufacturer. While its standard-definition performance isn't amazing, its high-definition pictures are very sharp, and it offers impressive audio for a flat-screen TV
