The 42PD960DTA is a good all round mid-range television but has its problems across all modes and is far from brilliant.

A few small issues with reduced connectivity and calibration options impact what is otherwise an excellent display.

If you watch a lot of DVD movies give this display a miss, but if you’re more of a sports buff and intend to kick back with the footy on a high definition set top box then this could be a consideration.

If the size doesn't daunt you, the HD-L27 will make a reasonable addition to your lounge room, although there may be other options with better picture quality.

An insanely large HD-ready display with significant visual aberrations that might deter some users.

The good picture quality and great price would help you overlook limited speakers and the absence of preset modes.

If you are looking for something that is absolutely huge and will wow people but don't care too much about a few image problems, then the LG 52sZ85R is for you.

The 50PX5D isn't the best Plasma on the market and has its problems but the image quality isn't completely terrible from a reasonable viewing distance.

The The Samsung LA46M81BD has so much potential, but it's hampered by its below-average gaming performance and some image problems when displaying HD movies.

The HD-D45 had so much potential, all of which was wasted on an abominable headache enducing display.

At a reasonable price point, the 47 inch Toshiba 47WL66 REGZA LCD is a mid-range LCD television that has some nice features and a good array of inputs but falls short on image quality.

While the PDP-427XDA performs well in High Definition, the issues with SD and PC signals are a factor especially considering the price point.
