10 best flatscreen and LCD TVs

Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800 50-inch plasma TV for £1,600

Unsurprisingly, the screen is formidably featured. Four v1.3 HDMI inputs instantly hit the right groove and these are joined by plenty of other useful in and outputs including a PC port and a digital audio output.

High-end status is further confirmed by its full HD resolution and its picture processing suite.

Heading up this processing is the top-level V-Real 3 Pro system, with its high-powered focus on reducing noise levels, adding fine detail, enhancing colour tones and saturation and boosting contrast.
