While there is nothing to compare with the pristine quality of High Definition pictures on your LCD TV, the fact is that for most of us the majority of our viewing schedule will come from a Standard Definition (SD) source.

Having seen a demonstration of High Definition programmes at their local electrical outlet, many consumers have been disappointed when the same TV displays SD pictures.

The choice of TV is a very subjective and personal choice and our top ten LCD TV's for Standard Definition represent those screens which in our opinion offer the best combination of price and performance.

We strongly recommend that you compare as many LCD / Plasma TV's alongside each other with SD and HD material on screen. Any retailer worth their salt will go out of their way to help. Also it might be worthwhile to note;

(i) Viewing distances usually differ with SD and HD for the same screen. HD will invariably be better viewed close, while moving away from the screen will produce better results for SD.

(ii) Ultimately, the picture processing technology employed on a TV will be the single most important factor which determines how good the SD and HD picture is - again, we would like to stress how important it is to compare as many TV's as you can with SD and HD material
