A strong performer, the Sharp LC42D83X will impress with its great full high-definition picture and the design ensures it looks stunning even when powered down.

A solid 720p unit from Sharp, the 37in LC37D53X offers good image quality at a decent price point. It does have some minor issues, but for regular DVD and some HD watching in a small- or medium-sized room it is a nice choice.

NEC's 40FHD100 is an adequate 1080p LCD TV; however, it has some image quality issues with both noise and contrast which make it hard to recommend over the competition.

The LG 50PY3DF's many strengths and features, including good speakers and a reasonable price, may help it find it a place on the TV stands of some homes despite its middle-of-the-road performance.

To put it simply, Pioneer's PDP-LX608A is the best plasma around right now. While you certainly pay a hefty price if you can afford it, this TV will handle both high- and standard-definition content perfectly.

An excellent high-definition panel, the Samsung PS-50P91FD is slightly let down by its performance in other areas.

Sony's Bravia KDL-52X3100 is a fantastic high-definition television, capable of delivering some incredibly rich and stunning images. It does have one or two slight flaws, but its overall performance is excellent.

This is a great TV, but it does come at a high price. For purely high-definition playback, however, it's hard to beat.

While $5999 isn't exactly a steal, the KDL52W3100 remains one of the best valued 52in LCD displays on the market.

Sony's Bravia KDL46XBR is a brilliant 1080p TV. It performed above par across all our tests and while it wasn't perfect, the issues we did spot did not detract. If you're after a full high definition screen that excels in all areas this is a great choice.

If you run a media centre, you may need to look elsewhere, but if high definition videos and gaming appeal to you, the full 1080p 43W3001 is a great value for money display.
