The The Samsung LA46M81BD has so much potential, but it's hampered by its below-average gaming performance and some image problems when displaying HD movies.

The Samsung PS50Q7HD delivers high-end image quality at a reasonable price. This is a great unit for High Definition and does a good job for Standard Definition.

The 42 inch NEC PX-42XR4W is a feature-packed plasma television with excellent customisation controls let down by mediocre image quality.

The Samsung SP67L6HX has very few peers that can match its quality and performance at this price point.

Samsung's Series 9 LA46A950 is the best LCD TV on the market. While not perfect, its flaws are negligible and it offers an incredible combination of deep blacks, rich colours, sharp images and great motion, along with a host of bonus features, making it the panel to watch out for this Christmas season.

While the swanky PDP-435HD is a fair performer overall and a good screen for DVDs, we've seen better image quality from Pioneer.

The Pioneer KURO PDP-508XDA is easily the best plasma television we have reviewed thus far. Even though it is a little more expensive than other 50in plasmas on the market, it is money well spent.

If you watch a lot of DVD movies give this display a miss, but if you’re more of a sports buff and intend to kick back with the footy on a high definition set top box then this could be a consideration.

The LG 47LB2DE is a 1080p TV that performs well in 1080-line resolutions, but struggles with all others. The image quality issues in lower resolutions should be taken into consideration if you're considering purchasing this model.

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

Samsung's LA52A750 is a fantastic upgrade to the previously top-of-the-line Series 6 units. It has the same great image quality but throws in a bunch of new connectivity and streaming features and a built-in content library.
