Today's TV tests pit two LED TVs against each other: the Toshiba SV675 and the LG SL9000. 

So, we're testing a Toshiba TV at last --and not just any Toshiba TV, because today we're looking at the SV675D with LED backlighting, available in 46'' and 55'' versions.

After our test of the LG SL8000 last month, it's time to look at the next model up, the SL9000.  The two televisions are virtually identical, apart from two small details:

• The backlighting in the SL900 relies on LEDs around the sides of the screen (Edge-LED) rather than fluorescent tubes.

• TruMotion on the SL8000 is at 200 Hz, but 100 Hz here.

It's currently available in 42'' and 47'' versions.
