Review Summary

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

The LG 47SL90QD stands out with its 29.3mm-slim bezel and onboard Bluetooth function, but there's still room for improvement in the picture and audio departments.

This Panasonic 37-incher produces one of the sharpest and smoothest pictures we've seen, though there's also still for improvement mainly in its design department.

We like the styling and A/V performance of the Loewe Art SL 42 Full-HD+ 100 DR+, as well as the extra functionality you can add.

Watching ultra-wide movies is a treat on the new Philips Cinema 21:9. But for everything else, you should just settle for a regular 16:9 HDTV which costs a lot less.
