The best LCD TVs with an image diagonal of about one meter should be, and it is interesting to settle on what big price the TV brands their new highlights. Because of the fact that equipment from almost 1,000 to more than 3,000 euros are in the test, we can not find a winner in a direct comparison.

The devices in the test
Internet becomes default
In all price regions, manufacturers now have features that surprised the testers. Here we find sophisticated TV recording functions, Internet services, video streaming and 3D - some extravagant but also quite practical features.
Alternative control: TV APParat?
In terms of equipment, the manufacturers have the most potential to miss their unique features: whether it is an illuminated back wall, like Philips, the fourth sub-pixel of Sharp, or editorial EPG data such as Techni-Sat. Often, however, it is simply a trend which should be implemented and which should be implemented as quickly as possible by the device.

For example, 3D TV has always been an issue in recent decades. In 2010 the technical breakthrough succeeded and everyone wanted to be there. In order to heave images into the third dimension, a different image must arrive for the eye for each eye. For large displays, this is currently only possible with glasses, with two techniques.
The shutter technology alternately turns the eyes dark to send everyone their own perspective. Polarization technology makes use of the effect that light can be polarized. The light waves are filtered in such a way that they can only pass through a further filter - the spectacles - in one direction. The shutter technology requires fast panels that can send a flicker-free image to every eye.
Advantage: You can reproduce spatial images in full resolution. The polarization technique requires costly production processes since the filter discs have to be glued onto the panels. For this, the TV electronics are less demanding and the glasses can be manufactured more cheaply.
The crucial drawback is that the images arrive in half the resolution in the eye of the viewer. The spatial impression, however, is often better for every eye than for shutter technology because of the sharper separation of the two images.
Another common feature is the Internet functionality. In the meantime, it is already present in every medium-class TV and offers the chance to offer free content as well as premium content such as HD online videotheques to the viewer.
But the merger of the two media seems to have been successful: HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV). Almost five devices in our test support the European standard, which provides value-added services to the current TV picture.
As a modern videotext variant, it offers the transmitters more scope for the preparation of additional information. After a press of the red button of the remote control, the viewer can access databases or media library. access. It can not be better.
Almost all manufacturers now offer apps for smartphones. The mini-programs can download iPhone and Android users in the online shops for free. After the installation, you can control the TV via WLAN.
Tables with measured values and results
The Philips app, for example, operates on four levels, which can be accessed by thumbwipers. The first level provides access to the Tuner, Ambilight or the program list. The second section contains the program selection keys, the cursor cross, and options. On the third level developers have placed the numbers and the videotext, and on the last the player buttons.
In addition, photos stored on the mobile phone can also be played on the TV with a wiper. With the AllShare app, which is pre-installed on the Samsung Galaxy Gio, media files can be sent from the mobile phone or a server to the TV. Conversely, HD streams should soon be transferred to the mobile phone.
Guide: These apps control the home network
With the free app "SamyGo Remote" you can control the TV completely. There are even different layouts of Samsung remotes available.
The "LG TV Remote" app has been particularly successful. The clever tool not only allows access to all important buttons on the remote control. For Internet applications, the user can call a touchpad to use the computer mouse to click on the links. Curiosity: By shaking the smartphone you get directly into the premier services of the LG TV.
All eight TVs are exciting devices: either in terms of price, equipment, operation, picture or sound. They are not always in all disciplines, but are among the better devices of their guild. This should be something for every user.
The Panasonic TX-L42EW30 or the Toshiba 42UL875G will be the preferred choice. They only cost just over 1,000 Euros, bring 100 Hertz technology, can record and are Internet-compatible. The Panasonic has more to offer in the Internet, the Toshiba has the better recording function.
If you want to see 3D images, only the devices LG 42LW650S, Philips 42PFL7606K, Samsung UE40D7090LS and Sharp LC-40LE830E come into consideration. Here the 3D viewer has to decide for the better package. The Philips is among the most favorable 3D TVs the best. It controls many multimedia functions and also serves as a recorder. The Samsung is significantly more expensive with 1,600 euros, but provides the best picture and a fancy design.
Pure elegance: Four design televisions at test
In the upper class, the choice is the Loewe Art 40 LED 200 DR + or the Technisat MultyVision 40 ISIO: two extraordinarily opulent televisions. Uncompromisingly comfortable are both. Double tuners and hard drives are installed. This allows for unlimited TV freedom: the viewer can record one program and watch another.
Technisat has the nose with the larger hard drive. However, the Loewe countered with a complete system integration. It can control the entire AV-Park in the house. What now? The decision is likely to be difficult because of the assembled TV competence. Thanks to the variety of options, everyone gets what they need.
