Yes Folks, tis’ the season to be jolly and what could bring more joy to the comfort of your living room than a nice brand spanking new HDTV set?

Yes indeed, bar a lottery win (or in the case of some models, without a lottery win this may be as close as you get :)) a new HDTV can bring the entire family together or rip them apart (who’s the ‘king of the remote’ in your house?). Well I’ve slapped together a tidy list of the hottest models available in the UK this Christmas. So for the next few days in the run up to christmas we are looking to the latest and greatest to adorn your living room, car, boat or spaceship if you are so inclined. So prepare yourself for a little seasonal technolust and without any further ado, HDBLISS presents the first of it picks for the top ten HDTVs this Christmas.

Samsung LE26R51BD

Want a HDTV on the cheap. Looking for something that your better half can get without breaking the bank, you could do alot worse than the Samsung LE26R51BD. Yes indeed my friends, for a paltry 150 quid this model can be got online, at 26 inch its not the largest screen in the world (save that for later) but with DNIe Picture Enhancement Technology, HDTV Ready, up 30 Freeview channels, Nicam Stereo Sound, HDMI Connectivity, Component Input, Table Top Stand Included, Wall Mountable, S-Video Input, SVGA Compatible you can’t argue with the Price.

Venturer SHD7001

This shouldn’t really be in the list for two reasons. a), it doesn’t actually exist yet with an expected release date of the 29th Dec (it is seasonal though) and b) it is’nt actually a HDTV. But at an expected retail price of 220 quid for a real godfearing ’so this is what all the fuss is about’ piece of HD DVD Player its worth every penny. Its great to be an early adopter if you dont mind being shafted at the next round of technology upgrades or piling out a ton of cash for what might be the next best thing but at this price you could do not wrong. It may not be a 1080p but at 1080i its more than good enough to move from the reruns of Fools and Horses to the crisp snap of Spiderman III in Hi Def. A catch and a half, not only for the price but for that beautiful sucking sound of a market in price freefall. Bring it on boys.
