The competition in the 32in market is fierce and this is just another 32in screen LCD the Sharp LC32GD1E with a resolution of 1366 x 768 and both analogue and digital tuners the picture is very impressive, vivid colours, crisp picture and a very good depth of field are some of the good points, the price is not one of the strong points and although dropping it is not a cheap set by any standards and the price reflects this.

This 32in LCD TV is under £700.00 and is exceptionally good value, see it for yourself at places like Debenhams LCD TV sections and Currys LCD TV, it is HD ready with a resolution of 1366 x 768 is more than acceptable and it offers a digital tuner built in. Crisp clear picture with good brightness levels and richly saturated colours make it a pleasure to watch, although it does not stand out above any of its rivals it is a solid performer on most levels, the main downfall is the poor black levels that on dark scenes are unconvincing. The audio performance is good and overall it is a good LCD TV and well worth serious consideration.

This 37in screen LCD TV from Hitachi is not so easy to find but is less than £1000.00. Although it has 2 Scarts only 1 is RGB and only 1 HDMI is on this model. It has a clear sharp picture that rivals more expensive models with a resolution of 1366 x 768 and has not traded quality for price, the vibrant colours and good black levels give the picture a real texture and although there are no outstanding qualities it performs very well indeed. It may not be the best on the market and there are much better available but at much higher prices, at this price it is excellent value for money and well worth your time to take a look at it, having a great picture and good sound it can deliver what you want, try Argos LCD TV to see what kind of offers are available or Asda LCD TV you find a bargain.

Another illustrious addition to the Panasonic range is the Panasonic TX32LXD700 with a 1366 x 768 resolution, this 32in screen LCD is HD ready and performs admirably, colours are great, vivid and natural, the crisp picture is clear and sharp but blacks although good could be darker, this TV has 3 HDMI and 2 Scarts both RGB, the tuners are both analogue and digital making this a well spec TV that delivers good performance at a reasonable price of around £1000 take a look at Comet LCD TV or Currys LCD TV sections to see just how good this is, Panasonic are known for their quality and this set does not let them down.

Pioneer has always made quality electronics and this no exception, offering impressive colours, deep blacks and clear crisp picture with stunning detail, this 42in plasma is what you would expect from a leader like Pioneer. Clean motion handling is another benefit of the Pioneer PDP-427XD, with 3 Scarts (2 RGB) and 3 HDMI it has plenty of connections, the screen resolution is 1024 x 768 and incorporates both analogue and digital tuners, overall this is a great Plasma from Pioneer and at under £1800 is very competitive in this large 42in screen Plasma market where competition is tough, try looking around to see an example of just how good this picture is from Argos plasma tv or Debenhams lcd tv and plasma tv and there is always the Pioneer home site to look at the latest models and what is coming in the future..

LG have been known for quality at good prices for all their equipment and this no different with the LG 42PC1D Plasma TV, a large 42in screen boasts great colour resolution and impressive black levels, it is not the best 42in Plasma on the market but it is widely available from sources such as Currys LCD TV and Argos Plasma TV sections and in comparison to the others the price is fantastic, searching around may find this model at £600.00 yes £600.00 for a 42in Plasma and that alone is worth this humble review. The picture is good and so is the colour and clarity, the price tag is not a compromise on quality it is a reflection of where the market is today, with resolutions of 1024 x 768 it has 3 Scarts 2 of which are RGB and 2 HDMI along with both analogue and digital tuners. Pound for pound it is hard to find anything as good at this price.

Hitachi has added this LCD to its stables of Plasma TV’s and the Hitachi L42VP01 is a great example of what Hitachi are doing in the LCD market. Argos LCD TV have a great selection of all LCD including Hitachi and Argos Sony TV, it is always worth a shop around before buying check out a number of stores online and in the high street before buying this 42in 1920 x 1080 resolution giant, it is not the most aesthetically designed TV but it has some excellent points. For connectivity it has 2 RGB Scart’s and 2 HDMI, the tuner is analogue and digital and is widely available at well under the £1000.00 price tag, shopping around could help you finding this model under £800. The contrast is good although blacks can be limited but still manages to deliver a respectable black levels, it is a good set but is not groundbreaking in any way.

Philips are offering this 1366 x 768 resolution LCD TV in the 42in screen market, with the Ambilight function, the Pixel Plus 3 HD picture processing technology this set delivers good aesthetics with excellent performance.

As I wander around looking at new and older models I see some great TVs in the Asda LCD TV section I saw quite a few but decided that we are going into the big category now with Sharps 52in screen LCD TV, with a huge resolution of 1920×1080 it is HD ready and perfect for those high definition pictures, programmes and discs, equipped with 2 RGB Scarts and 2 HDMI the connectivity is very good, the analogue and digital tuners keep you a head of the game and this set is widely available. The performance of this LCD is excellent and competing where most believe Plasma is king the Sharp LC-52XD1E LCD TV gives convincing blacks, vibrant colours and sharp images, this is a huge 52in LCD with a reasonable price tack of approximately £3000.00, this is a good choice for those who prefer LCD to plasma and that are looking for big screen and big quality at an affordable price.

This is one I saw in the Argos lcd tv section and looked at, the JVC LT37DG8 LCD TV at approximately £900.00 is great value for money, this 37in TV is competing with the other LCD big players, although HD ready the 1366 x 768 resolution is not the full HD but is in direct competition with the others in this price range, powerful sound and a good crisp picture gives this TV a clear standing, the clarity is good as are the colour ranges, the blacks let it down a little and although it is not a fancy TV it performs admirably in all sections, it may not be the best but is worth checking out at this price.
