The LG 42LB9DF is a good mid-range 1080p television which falls short of justifying its high-end price tag.

The Toshiba REGZA 37WL68A is a well-priced mid-range LCD television that performs well when viewing HD movies but has shortcomings in other areas.

Advanced adjustment options and a generous array of presets augment middle-of-the-road picture-quality ratings, but ease-of-use issues and limited colour calibration tools prevent this model from ranking higher.

If you are looking to spend large amounts of money on an underperforming LCD TV this is the one for you.

A few small issues with reduced connectivity and calibration options impact what is otherwise an excellent display.

If the size doesn't daunt you, the HD-L27 will make a reasonable addition to your lounge room, although there may be other options with better picture quality.

An insanely large HD-ready display with significant visual aberrations that might deter some users.

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.

If you are looking for something that is absolutely huge and will wow people but don't care too much about a few image problems, then the LG 52sZ85R is for you.

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 42PD960DTA is a good all round mid-range television but has its problems across all modes and is far from brilliant.

The 50PX5D isn't the best Plasma on the market and has its problems but the image quality isn't completely terrible from a reasonable viewing distance.
