Hi there,

I know sometimes we don't have reviews for TVs that people are looking at buying. If you are sure we haven't already reviewed a set, but think we jolly well should, let me know in this thread, and I'll do my best to get it in.

If I do, I'll post a link to it, which should help other people out too.

Hi Ian - could you review Panasonic TX -37LZD81 as soon as available. particularly concerned about motion handling since the spec indicates they have left out most of their motion handling technology

Hi!

Sony:
I'm on Sony's case about review stock. All they can promise me at the moment is the E4000, which I'd like to see. I'll keep on them about the other models.

Panasonic:
I'll look into those ASAP.

Philips:
I'm due to review the 32-inch version of the 9603 this week.
The 42PFL9703 has already been reviewed
The 9803 I'm very keen to see, but it's brand new. I'll find out what the score is on that soon.

Hello,

Could you review the new Samsung LED LCDs ? (Series 9 or Series 7 LED)
Or do you know how they compare to the PS50A756 Plasma you reviewed ?

cool, only i know they test contrast in different ways, Full On/Off and ANSI.

Also that the TV marketing guys are picking contrast as the same type of selling point as megapixels is for digital cameras....they say bigger is always better...but i know, in both cases, its not exactly true.

Hi Ian,

Can you help me by reviewing a Sony KDL26V4000?

I always seem to find reviews on bigger TVs, but nothing this size.

Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you

HI

Does the Samsung LE40A856 have a Common Interface slot, in order to add subscription channels (like Setanta Sports) to the digital TV tuner.

Thanks

All digital TVs (with the exception of small-screen models like 15" and the like) have CI slots. It's some EU law that requires it.

I'll try.

The problem with smaller TVs is the manufacturers don't really keep review samples available. I have a few other channels I can use though. I'll let you know.

Good news, the 40E4000 will be reviewed next week, as will the W4500, with luck.

I'll post links when they go live.

That's a tricky one, because it's an EBuyer brand. I can try, but no promises.

Hi Ian,

Any chance of a review for the Sony 32V4000? It's currently the best-selling tv at Amazon, Play etc and has a very tempting price. Lack of official reviews though (only review I could find online was a different model they sell in Australia with the same name) but all the cutsomer reviews are very positive - although they mostly seem to be first-time buyers upgrading from a CRT who are thrilled with their sub-£400 purchase.

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Ian

Hope you well and enjoying the festive days.... smile

I am looking at these HD TVs and would like advise as to which one is the best according to you ?

TOSHIBA

Toshiba REGZA 42ZV555D
Toshiba REGZA 42XV555D
Toshiba REGZA 42RV555D

PHILIPS

Ambilight Spectra models

LG Electronics

LG 42LG7000

My Budget is no more than £800 !

From the abpve choices, and rest available from samsung,panasonic etc, I am thinking about Toshiba Regza 42ZV555D or LG 42LG7000 (this one has better options for connectivity like USB , bluetooth as well)...

Please advise after reviewing ...?

Hi,

Can you please review the new Samsung 9 Series LCD TV with LED Backlight. I would be most interested to know your thoughts on this TV and how it compared with the Samsung 7 Series plasma ?

Many Thanks
