6. 46TL963

  • Reviewed on: 18 June 12
  • RRP: £699 inc VAT
  • Rating: Rated 8 out of 10

There’s little doubt that you get a lot of screen for your money with the 46TL963. Its HD performance is generally fine, the cosmetics are swish and there’s a reasonable selection of catch-up and video on demand. Just don’t buy it if you want clean 3D or need to play multimedia files across a network.

5. LG 47LM670T

  • RRP: £1,249 inc VAT
  • Rating: Rated 8 out of 10

The LG 47LM670T is a 3D TV with first class multimedia file support, but it offers slightly disappointing visual and audio performance.

4. Philips 46PFL9706

  • RRP: £2,200 inc VAT
  • Rating: Rated 8 out of 10

The Philips 46PFL9706 3D TV’s Ambilight system is terrific, and picture quality can be outstanding, but there are issues regarding the Moth Eye filter and local dimming that give pause for thought.

3. Samsung UE46ES8000

  • Reviewed on: 25 June 12
  • RRP: £1,899 inc VAT
  • Rating: Rated 8 out of 10

The Samsung UE46ES8000 is a desirable 3D TV, with a strong online proposition and characteristic Samsung design.  It's voice and motion control party tricks, make it an expensive choice however.

2. Panasonic TX-L47WT50

  • Reviewed on: 22 June 12
  • RRP: £2,099 inc VAT
  • Rating: Rated 9 out of 10

The Panasonic TX-L47WT50 offers razor-sharp HD and good 3d imaging. Our Panasonic TX-L47WT50 review shows that this HDTV will look great in your lounge

1. Sony KDL-46HX853

Sony KDL-46HX853
  • Reviewed on: 22 June 12
  • RRP: £1,449 inc VAT
  • Rating: Rated 9 out of 10

The Sony KDL-46HX853 can be considered a top-class performer for both HD sports and movies. Throw in a huge selection of streaming internet TV services and you’ve got a screen that demands to be auditioned.
