Best small TVs
- — 21 February, 2011 13:50
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.

We really like the inclusion of BRAVIA Internet Video in a low-to-mid range model like Sony's BRAVIA KDL-40EX700. It's offers 100Hz motion smoothing and a few nifty usability features, and it is only slightly let down by an inability to get the most out of difficult high-contrast viewing material.
