Best small TVs

A roundup of all the small screen TV reviews we've done in 2010

TVs under 42in are often appropriate for smaller living rooms, bedrooms or studies where there isn't a large distance between the viewer and the screen. You can buy small screen TVs for anything from $100 to upwards of $2000, from no-name brands as well as the major TV manufacturers. They're almost always LED or LCD TVs, though — plasmas are rare below 42in sizes.

Kogan 1080P40

For its small price tag, the 40in Kogan 1080P40 displays good detail levels in both digital television and Blu-ray movie content. It struggles sometimes with difficult-to-display video scenes and its 100hz mode occasionally introduces some flickering, but as a low-priced LCD television it performs well.
