1. Samsung Series 8 (PS51D8000) 3D plasma TV

The 2011 edition of Samsung's Series 8 plasma is, as we'd expected, an impressive piece of technology. Its sound and visuals are great, and the inclusion of various 'Smart TV' features makes the Series 8 a useful multimedia device as ...

2. Sony BRAVIA KDL-46HX820 LED TV

Sony’s high-end HX820 BRAVIA LCD TV uses a great LCD panel and can look excellent after adjusting the picture to suit the room it’s in. Some of its Web features fall flat, like the Web browser -- which isn’t as ...

4. Sony BRAVIA KDL-55HX925 3D LED TV

The Sony BRAVIA HX925 is Sony's top TV, and as you'd expect it's crammed full of class-leading features. We can't fault its picture quality when displaying 1080p high definition video, and it also does a reasonably good job of upscaling ...

5. Sharp LC40LE835X 3D LED TV

If you're not seduced by the appeal of video-on-demand apps or renting movies on your TV, you should consider Sharp's LE835X TV alongside contenders like the Sony HX820, Samsung Series 7 and LG LW6500. It's got good (if not perfect) ...

6. Grundig Meglio GLED2211HDV LED TV

Grundig's Meglio GLED2211HDV LED TV is small but is still able to display a good quality picture. Casual viewers will be happy with the screen's contrast and detail, and the design is modern. Unless you're viewing from an awkward angle ...

7. LG 47LW6500 Cinema 3D LED TV

The LG 47LW6500 has a high quality panel that's able to display good quality video in 2D mode with plenty of visible detail. LG's stand-out approach to 3D, in its passive Cinema 3D panels, is smoother and less troublesome than ...

8. Panasonic VIERA TH-P65VT30A 3D plasma TV

Panasonic's latest and greatest and largest 3D plasma TV is excellent when paired with a high quality Blu-ray player, for both 2D and 3D movies. It's not even especially expensive given its huge screen size. Its internal digital TV tuner ...

9. Kogan 55" 3D LED TV with PVR

Kogan's debut 3D TV is cheaper than its competitors, although we'll likely see prices become closer around Christmas. It's not quite equal when it comes to either 2D or 3D picture quality, but given it's at least $500 cheaper we ...

10. Panasonic VIERA TH-P42ST30A 3D plasma TV

Panasonic's ST30A plasma hits the sweet spot in the company's plasma TV line-up. It's got image quality that's not too far off last year's top VT20, and it's not particularly expensive either. We don't like Panasonic's plasma design updates, though ...
