This week's tests + last week's top fives: TVs take off

With the World Cup just a few weeks away, it seems that lots of you are thinking of buying a new television: last week, our survey of 40'' to 49'' TVs was the second most widely read, while two separate tests, the Sony Bravia KDL-EX503 and Panasonic TX-P50VT20 made it into our weekly top five.  We've added another of Sony's latest TVs, the Bravia KDL-NX803 just this morning.

The most exciting thing in our lab this week has been the arrival of the Sony NEX-3 and NEX-5, the first cameras to use the manufacturer's new system for mounting interchangeable lenses on camera bodies smaller than a traditional SLR.  We've already brought you our first hands-on, but next week we'll be looking at Panasonic's latest riposte with its two new micro four-thirds cameras, the G2 and the G10.

Tests for the week ahead

• Tuesday: as we mentioned earlier, we added another Sony TV to our range of 2010 models on test with the Bravia KDL-NX803 this morning.  In the afternoon, we took a break from looking at the NEX-3 and NEX-5 to bring you three compact digital cameras, each with its own twist on a touchscreen interface: the Nikon Coolpix S4000, the Samsung ST5000 and the Fujifilm FinePix Z700 EXR.

• Wednesday: will be a day devoted mostly to internal components, with the Nvida GeForce GTX 470 graphics card and three SSD internal hard drives from OCZ, Kingston and Integral.  We'll have something for the outside of your computer too in the guise of the Brother MFC-975CW multifunction printer.

• Thursday: back in March, we brought you the test of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, but two new spin-offs, the Xperia X10 Mini and Mini Pro are also available.  We've tested them both!  Something for gamers in the afternoon with two new headsets with microphones from Razer and SteelSeries.

• Friday:  at the end of the week, we'll have more audio equipment with the Sennheiser HD 228 headphones alongside the two laptops from Samsung, the N510 Premium and R580.  We'll also be following up on Thursday's look at SSD drives with a duel comparing SSDs and conventional hard drives.

• Monday: today sees the third of Sony's new TVs, this time from the Cinematic range: the Sony HX703.
