Review: JVC LT-42WX70
TechRadar: Computing reviews —
With the credit crunch still biting hard it seems a bit crazy for JVC to be launching a 42in LCD TV costing £2,000. But the company is confident that its LT-42WX70 has got enough going for it to justify such a lavish price tag, and we're inclined to agree. The most immediately obvious feature is its slender design. Its leathery covered frame is just a few centimetres wide, and the whole set doesn't protrude much at the rear. Intriguingly, though, the optional desktop stand holds the TV quite a long way forward from a rear pole mount, seemingly running counter to the slender chassis concept. The reason for this becomes clear when you realise that the set doesn't ...
Review: Toshiba 42XV635D
TechRadar: Computing reviews —
One step below the manufacturer's flagship Regza ZV TV, the 42XV635 42in LCD TV boasts a fairly impressive spec for what seems like a very affordable price. Included in the feature line-up is Toshiba's much-vaunted Resolution+ technology, which claims to upscale any standard-definition source to 'near HD quality'. Styling wise, the 42XV635D has little to distinguish it from the hordes of shiny black flatscreen TVs already on the market. It's certainly not an ugly television by any means, but neither being particularly possessed of an eye-catching narrow frame, nor being blessed by any measure of 'wow factor', it's unremarkable and, well, a bit dull. You can make the ...
Review: HANNspree ST251MAB
TechRadar: Computing reviews —
This 25in LCD TV from Hannspree sports a Full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and is the smallest Full HD panel we've seen so far. Whether that 1080p standard is really worthwhile on a set of this size remains to be seen. The slender design also features a glossy black bezel that doesn't exactly exude an air of luxury, but is attractive enough even if it does tend to get covered in smudgy fingerprints all too easily. In terms of connections, the ST251MAB is relatively standard, although the inclusion of two HDMI ports seems generous on a screen in this price range. You'll also find most of the usual suspects including a Scart, component and composite video along with the ...

Review: LG 32LH5000
TechRadar: Computing reviews —
LG is the quiet man of LCD TVs, never making as much fuss as competitors such as Sony, Philips or even its Korean arch rival, Samsung. However, it's certain to make a splash with the 32LH500 because, despite its low asking price, it combines a sexy design, full HD resolution and nifty USB port that will appeal to downloaders. If you've got lots of hi-def kit to hook up to your TV then this set won't disappoint as it has four HDMI ports, which is rather generous on a £500 model. One of these is side-mounted behind the gorgeous-looking transparent edge that frames the screen, so it should be relatively easy to get at even if you decide to wall mount the TV. Next to this HDMI socket ...
