Toshiba Regza 32XV505DB 32in LCD TV Review
A little while back we looked at and were impressed by Toshiba’s HD Ready 32CV505DB, finding it a mighty fine 32in budget TV. So now we’re more than a little intrigued to find on our test benches the 32XV505DB: another Toshiba 32in LCD TV which brings a Full HD resolution to the table while adding [...]
Toshiba Regza 40ZF355D 40in LCD TV Review
Last year saw the introduction of the XF range, which wrapped decent size panels in cases with unbelievably slim bezels. The result was a 40in LCD TV with a physical size that was considerably smaller than many rival 37in models. On paper this was great, but the reality left a lot to be desired. You [...]
Sunbrite’s 46 inch 1080p full-HD outdoor TV Review
This isn’t the first outdoor TV we’ve covered - and it’s unlikely to be the last. The new 4610HD from SunBrite is a 46-inch all-weather LCD television which, like previous models, is designed with a corrosion resistant, powder-coated aluminum exterior that protects the internal TV components from rain, dirt, insects, and extreme temperature ranges. Now [...]
LG 32LG5000 32in LCD TV Review
LG, it’s fair to say, is getting sick and tired of being perceived as Korea’s ‘second’ AV brand after Samsung. There was a time not so long ago where the two brands’ public perceptions seemed more or less equal, but recently Samsung has surged away in terms of both image and cold, hard sales.
So this [...]
Planar PD420 42″ LCD TV Review
If you haven’t heard of Planar before, don’t worry; it’s not one of those fly-by-night dodgy Far Eastern brands that turns out some cheap piece of tat and then disappears again as fast as it arrived. In fact, Planar is a very well established brand in the US, and now it’s decided it wants [...]
Philips Cineos 42PFL9632D LCD TV Review
Philips’ technological ambition hasn’t always been matched by perfect pictures, but this time the Dutch company has hit the jackpot. Dressed in an ‘anthracite dark’ gloss, this full HD 42inch screen possesses just about every feature you could wish for.More importantly, these features work so well they raise this TV well above the other [...]
Philips Aurea 42PFL9900D Plasma TV Review
The Aurea is like nothing else on the market. You may have seen Philips’ Ambilight backlighting system before, but this, the firm’s latest flagship model, takes things to a new level. As well as emitting light out of its (ahem) backside, Aurea has an illuminated frame shining a kaleidoscope of colours outwards.
These colours change depending [...]
Philips 47PFL9632D 47in LCD TV Review
A few weeks back we tested and loved the first of Philips’ new generation of LCD TVs, the 32PFL9632D. But for all our appreciation of that genuinely groundbreaking 32in model, there was one thing about it we would love to have changed: its size. To be frank, it just wasn’t big enough to a) totally [...]
Panasonic Viera TH-58PZ700 58″ Plasma TV Review
As the lovely Hélène Mahieu once said, size matters. Of course she was talking about a Renault Clio, but the statement is even more true when it comes to TVs. You may be happy with a 32 or even a 37in screen in your living room, but once you see a truly big TV, you’ll [...]
