10 best flatscreen and LCD TVs

Philips 42PFL7603D LCD TV for £899

The latest in a recent slew of flatscreens to benefit from '360º styling', the 42PFL7603D is decked out in a striking mixture of black and white, but beneath that handsome exterior lies some pretty serious TV technology.

There are so many features, it's hard to know where to begin.

The panel, for a start, is 1080p-capable, which futureproofs it for the foreseeable, the processing electronics (of which a little more later) are state of the art and able to handle and optimise the very highest quality feeds.

There are four HDMI inputs as well as just about every other connection you can think of (and a couple more besides, including USB) and you'll even find eco-friendly technology touches such as a light sensor that combines with an intelligent backlight to adjust power usage according to viewing conditions
