10 best flatscreen and LCD TVs

Sony KDL-52W4500 52-inch LCD TV for £1900

The success of Sony's W4000 models raised our expectations for the Sony KDL-52W4500. Especially given this set's massive, movie-friendly 52in screen size.

So it's a testament to the 52W4500 that in so many ways it doesn't disappoint

This is not a svelte screen, but it does have some welcome design flourishes

Given that this isn't one of the most expensive large screens on the market (similar sized TVs can easily command as much as a grand more with only minor differences in specification), it should be considered a bona-fide star
