Review: Panasonic TX-P42GT30B
The GT30 range is Panasonic’s secret weapon in its continuing war with 3D LED TV vendors. The Panasonic TX-P42GT30B is more affordable than the brand’s headline VT30 models yet shares much the same technology, this set oozes enticing functionality.
Review: Panasonic TX-L37DT30B
In some ways this 37-inch LED-backlit TV is all about convenience. We know – and Panasonic surely does, too – that 3D is much more impressive on bigscreen plasmas that hover around 50-inches.
So why bother with a 37-inch LED version? It’s the holy trio at work once again in the flat TV market; the smaller, cheaper and thinner ethos are this set’s core values, and that’s obvious from the company it keeps in the DT30 range.
Review: Panasonic TX-L32E3B
The Panasonic TX-L32E3B is driven by price, rather than features or technology. In order to keep the cost down this entry-level 32-inch set eschews niceties such as 3D playback or Panasonic’s Viera Connect online system, but has managed to hang onto edge LED backlighting and sports an IPS Alpha panel.
Review: Samsung PS51D6900

The Samsung PS51D6900 sells for a paltry £1,300, despite its active 3D technology and 51-inch screen.
Its unusual screen size doesn’t seem to have made its body bigger than Samsung’s 50-inch sets, thanks to a narrow bezel that is finished in attractive deep grey and tastefully offset by some transparent trim.
Review: Panasonic TX-P50G30B
Panasonic has had such success with its 3D plasma TVs over the last year that it’s a wonder the TX-P50G30B even exists.
But while a high-end, 50-inch plasma TV that holds no truck with the third dimension is unlikely to get tech-heads salivating, it should still appeal to those convinced that the current 3D craze is just a passing fad.

Review: Sony KDL-40EX724
The KDL-40EX724 sits at the top of Sony’s mainstream EX range and offers 3D compatibility, cutting-edge internet connectivity and the kitchen sink. It’s also available as the 46-inch KDL-46EX724 and the 32-inch KDL-32EX724.
Review: Sony KDL-32CX523
The 2011 batch of Bravias has been kept back a little, but rather than herald the arrival of a new lineup of big, bold, competitive and cutting-edge flatscreen TVs. The Sony KDL-32CX523 32-inch LCD TV delivers purely as a good value package. And then some.
Review: Panasonic TX-P42ST30B
The Infinite Black Pro-toting TX-P42ST30B is 2011′s most affordable active 3D plasma screen. It has been shorn of one or two fancy features that Panasonic reckons the mass market won’t feel deprived of, but is still crammed with the latest plasma technology, including faster-switching phosphors, reduced power consumption and a new screen filter.
Review: Sony KDL-32EX723
It’s been a long wait – made longer by production delays caused by Japan’s earthquake – but at last the first of Sony’s eagerly anticipated 2011 Bravia TVs is here, and comes internet, 3D and full HD-ready.
The 32-inch KDL-32EX723 is a great starting point for getting a handle on how Sony’s 2011 TV range might shape up in the weeks and months to come, since it sits more or less in the middle in terms of cost. Priced at £750, it’s the most affordable Sony TV this year to carry active 3D capability, and far more affordable than the Sony KDL-46NX713.
Review: Sony KDL-46NX713
The ‘N’ in Sony’s NX series of LED TVs stands for Network. This means you’ll be able to stream media wirelessly from PCs around your home and access a wide range of web content, all from the comfort of your sofa.
Review: LG 55LW650T
This 3D format war is well and truly on, with extravagant claims, outraged counterclaims, legal threats and even a bit of swearing. Somewhere in the middle of all the posturing, the 3D TVs at the heart of this impassioned conflict are starting to arrive.
Review: Panasonic TX-P50GT30B
Just when LCD seemed to be poised for world domination, plasma’s clear advantages with 3D saw a swift upturn in the technology’s fortunes.
Recent new active 3D TVs from Samsung and Panasonic itself have shown big leaps forward for LCD’s 3D capabilities, though, while LG’s passive LCD alternative has also been making waves. Panasonic’s second wave of 3D plasmas has much to prove, then, and the TX-P50GT30B represents a radical overhaul of the previous generation.
Review: Panasonic TX-L32E30B
If you’re in the market for a 32-inch TV but can’t summon any interest in 3D or can’t afford the exceptional TX-L32DT30B, then Panasonic has the TX-L32E30B with which to tempt you.
Review: Technika 32-270
If you’ve never heard of Technika, you probably don’t shop at Tesco. The supermarket giant has been championing the budget brand for years, sticking a few TVs on its shelves and selling (at the time of writing) no fewer than 27 Technika sets on its website.
Review: LG 47LW550T
LG is unique in the UK TV market by offering both active and passive 3D sets. The 47LW550T is one of the latter, dubbed Cinema 3D by the Korean brand to help confused consumers realise that it shares the same glasses technology that they’ve become used to at their local multiplex.
Review: Panasonic TX-L32DT30B
The Panasonic TX-L32DT30B is Panasonic’s first LCD TV to carry active 3D playback. This is a significant development from a brand that’s only previously only bestowed this honour upon its beloved plasma screens.
Review: Panasonic TX-L42E30B
Panasonic might reign unchallenged as king of plasma, but the LED-powered TX-L42E30B proves that its commitment to LCD is no less fierce.
The 42-inch set sits near the top of Panasonic’s 2011 range and is only out-specified by the smaller, 3D-toting TX-L37DT30B and TX-L32DT30B. The E30 range also features a pair of smaller screens, the TX-L37E30B and the TX-L32E30B.
