The Samsung screen offers clear, crisp image output, an easy-to-use menu and wide range of input connections, but the default settings produce an oversaturated image.

Versatile monitor/TV with a reasonable RRP

Excellent screen and image quality, although the support period provided is too short.

The high definition capabilities of the DT3220 are top notch and the few problems we found in standard definition and PC modes aren’t bad enough to make this an unwise purchase

If you want to watch DVDs or SDTV the Sharp 32AF3X will do the job nicely.

The LG 37LC2D is quite good when compared to other mid-range and similarly priced units but is certainly not the best unit on the market

For the price point, the TEAC LCD3733A is a reasonable unit that offers good performance when viewing DVDs in SD while also delivering favorable results in HD too.

For watching Blu-Ray, HD-DVD movies, or playing HD games consoles, the Samsung LA46F71BX performs quite well, although its DVD playback leaves a little to be desired.

The LC37AW5X is a quite a good television but it is not up to the same standard as its predecessors. It performs well in both Standard and High Definition, but has some sharpening issues and poor connectivity support which stop it from scoring higher.

The LG 42LC2DR is a good mid-range unit with an integrated HDTV tuner and DVR and only a handful of image quality problems when viewing HD content.

The Hitachi 37LD9000TA performed brilliantly in our HD gaming tests, but had some minor flaws in other areas.

If you're in the market for a good all-round unit, the Philips 32PF9531/79 will fit the bill nicely.
