Now we know what sort of signal we need to receive and the types of TV set that can receive them, we can start getting a bit more technical. We need to know what to look out for when comparing the different types of HD TV sets that are available and also work out what it is we want as well!

So far, we have seen the different types of TV you can get and also what to look for if you want to buy one. Now, let's have a look at some of what we feel are among the best sets out there.

A mixed day of news for fans of OLED screens - LG have announced they intend to launch their EL9500 OLED TV in the States some time during the summer, whilst Sony have stopped production of their Japanese OLED televisions due to "sluggish demand", according to Reuters.

It's been an interesting year in the world of HDTVs. The public's demand for more on-demand content and better Internet capability has seen manufacturers building in more and more features inside their sets and the launch of Freeview HD has brought high definition content to the masses, for free - just in time for everyone to see England's disastrous showing in the World Cup. However, perhaps the most important development has been the launch of 3D TV in the home.

Samsung released the UE40C7000 - the UK's very first 3D TV - to great fanfare at the beginning of the year - 2010 was supposed to be the year that 3D TV thrust itself into the spotlight, with manufacturers going all out to ensure they weren't being left behind.
