Best LCD TVs
- — 09 September, 2010 09:50
If you're buying a television on a budget, chances are you won't be able to afford an LED-backlit LCD or plasma panel. Regular LCD televisions can still deliver great picture quality and have useful inbuilt features, at a fraction of the price of newer technologies. Here's a list of our favourite LCD televisions from brands like Kogan, Sony, Hisense, Soniq and Toshiba.

Sony's BRAVIA KDL-46HX700 is the company's FIFA World Cup hero model, with a 200hz refresh rate for accurate reproduction of fast motion video. It doesn't have the backlight cloudiness that occasionally bugs Sony's edge-lit LED televisions, and decent colour reproduction adds to its repertoire. It may not have the high contrast ratio required to get the best out of difficult movie scenes, but for sports viewing we think it is a solid performer.
