Review Summary

The Pioneer Kuro KRP-500A gets our stamp of approval in the audio-visual department, plus an Editors' Choice for its relatively pocket-friendly pricing.

The stunning Samsung UA46B7000WM is a cutting-edge connected TV with a solid visual performance to boot.

This Sony flagship Bravia LCD TV is simply brilliant in most areas, particularly in deep blacks, but is slapped with sky-high pricing and outgunned in this aspect by the Samsung Series 9.

The Samsung LA46B750U1M is an all-rounded LCD TV which offers brilliant picture quality and an advanced feature set, but leaves much to be desired in terms of audio credentials.

The Samsung PS50B850Y1M is an attractively slim plasma TV that offers all the latest bells and whistles with good picture quality to boot.
