The Kogan Deluxe FHD42H is a 42in Full HD (1080p) LCD TV with a 200Hz panel. Don't be suspicious of its $999 price tag — it's great for watching fast-moving video such as sports or action movies. Its inbuilt speakers are impressive and the USB ...

Versatile 200Hz mode is good for sport, nifty PVR capability

Poor contrast in dark scenes, generic design

The Kogan Deluxe FHD42H is a great television for the $999 asking price. It has some features you would usually only see on significantly more expensive televisions from big brands, and if you can overlook the relatively low contrast it's a good set ...

The Sony BRAVIA KDL-46HX800 is a 46in 3D LED television with integrated IPTV features. Great detail levels and good picture quality round out a generally impressive package.

Great black levels, good default sharpness levels, good detail, excellent BRAVIA Internet Video service

Expensive, 3D receiver and glasses must be purchased separately

The Sony BRAVIA KDL-46HX800 has a 200Hz motion control mode that removes judder and blurring from fast motion video such as sports. It also helps considerably with wide panning shots, such as those found in wildlife documentaries. We found the Smooth ...

The Sharp LC52LE700X is a 52in, LED-backlit LCD television suitable for plus-sized living rooms. Like its predecessor, the LC40LB700X, it boasts great picture quality and faithful colour reproduction. It's also exceptionally green-friendly for a large ...

Excellent contrast, razor sharp images, seven-star energy rating

A bit bulky for an LED TV, stand is fixed

If you're on the lookout for a mid-range large screen HD TV, the Sharp LC52LE700X is a worthy choice. It combines excellent picture quality with an energy efficient design. Highly recommended

The Panasonic Viera TH-P42V20A is a 42in plasma television with great picture quality. It offers the same Internet features as the more expensive Panasonic TH-P50VT20A, but lacks 3D support and costs a lot less.

Comparatively low price, excellent picture quality, useful Internet features

Thick chassis and bezel, non-reflective coating dulls colours slightly

The Panasonic TH-P42V20A offers consistently excellent picture quality. Unlike the more expensive TH-P50VT20A, it can't display 3D movies and doesn't have THX certification. However, if you don't care about these features there's no good reason for ...

The Panasonic Viera TH-P50VT20A is a 50in 3D plasma television with excellent image quality. It sits at the top of Panasonic's 2010 plasma television line-up. As well as displaying 3D Blu-ray movies and TV broadcasts, it can access the Internet with ...

Good 2D and 3D picture quality, useful Viera Cast Internet features

Less attractive than Samsung's Series 7

Panasonic has done an excellent job with the TH-P50VT20A 3D plasma television. It has excellent image quality when displaying 2D and 3D content, and some useful Internet features add extra value. If it came in a more attractive and fashion-forward ...

The LG 50PK750 is a 50in plasma television with a borderless design. It is very attractive and has good picture quality to boot. Overall it's a good panel for a reasonable price.

Four-star energy rating, great image quality once settings are tweaked, swivelling stand

Ultra-glossy screen can have issues with reflections, standard warranty is only 12 months

LG's 50PK750 is no shrinking violet. The only flaws are its super-glossy screen and mediocre warranty - apart from this, it's an excellent all-round performer including in terms of picture quality. We love its design, too. If you don't want to shell ...

The Kogan 1080P40 is a 40in LCD television with a low price of $699. It is aimed at budget-conscious buyers who still want a screen with a reasonably large size and high resolution. For most viewing it serves well, and it only falters when displaying ...

Low price, swivelling stand, good speaker quality at moderate volume

Some loss of detail in highlights and dark areas, erratic 100Hz performance in on-screen fast motion

The Kogan 1080P40 offers good picture quality given its low price tag. The inclusion of a USB input and swivelling stand are also useful extras that increase ease of use. We weren’t thrilled with the occasional problems with the 100Hz mode, but for ...

The Samsung Series 7 (UA55C7000) is a 55in LED edge-lit television packed full of brand new features. In addition to 3D video capabilities, it can access the Internet with features like Skype video calling and Twitter integration. It has a very clean ...

Excellent picture with standard 2D video, very fine detail in 1080p Blu-ray video content, good colour reproduction

Internal speakers distort on bass notes, overly sharp at default settings, unnatural motion reproduction in default settings, 2D-3D conversion is imperfect

Samsung's debut 3D television is an impressive performer. 3D isn't perfect, but when circumstances are right it offers increased depth and immersion. 2D video performance is excellent as well, and the inclusion of Internet access and video-on-demand ...

The Sony BRAVIA KDL-46HX700 is a 46in CCFL-backlit LCD television with a 200Hz frame interpolation mode for handling fast motion video. It is slightly more expensive than the Sony BRAVIA KDL-40EX700. Its design is a little less space-age than the Sony ...

No backlight cloudiness, reasonable overall colour accuracy, good black levels once calibrated

No local-dimming dynamic contrast means high contrast scenes lack punch, CCFL back-lighting results in thick chassis

Motion is very well controlled with Sony's MotionFlow 200Hz system. We gave the Sony BRAVIA KDL-46HX700 a thorough run-through with some high-definition footage of the 2010 Olympics and past FIFA World Cup soccer (or is it football?) matches and were ...

The Sony BRAVIA KDL-40EX700 is a 40in LED television. Despite not being a premium model, it has Sony's BRAVIA Internet Video video-on-demand service, with access to Yahoo!7 television content, YouTube and ABC iView. Because it is an LED TV it has a ...

Inclusion of BRAVIA Internet Video is a huge plus, modern and thin chassis design, presence sensor works well, excellent power consumption levels

Wireless LAN is an optional extra, some backlight cloudiness at high brightness settings, occasional difficulty in high contrast scenes

It may not have best-in-class image quality but the Sony BRAVIA KDL-40EX700 is still a distinguished television. For its $2199 price tag, you get most of the features of Sony's premium TV series costing thousands of dollars more
