The Grundig Elegance GLCD4001 is a mid-range TV with entry level features and above-average performance at a reasonable price.

The Grundig Cinemo GLCD4600HD is a mid-range TV that performs well and has a reasonable price tag.

The LG 42LC2DR is a good mid-range unit with an integrated HDTV tuner and DVR and only a handful of image quality problems when viewing HD content.

The Fujitsu PlasmaVision P42XHA58EB is a great unit capable of delivering reasonable high definition images while also being able to convincingly display standard definition as well.

If you are in the market for a mid-range Plasma television with good all round performance, the Q9 series from Samsung is definitely worth a look.

The PX-42XR3W may offer too few amenities to satisfy many consumers. But its great image quality and low price make it a fine choice for people who want to hook up their set to an external HDTV tuner.

The high definition capabilities of the DT3220 are top notch and the few problems we found in standard definition and PC modes aren’t bad enough to make this an unwise purchase

The Toshiba REGZA 42C3000 performed brilliantly in high definition but scored poorly in standard definition. The fact that the panel can display 1080p signals is a huge bonus, but the fact that a regular DVD will look poor, is a detractor. Before purchasing this unit, we suggest you decide what you need it to do and choose accordingly.

Sharp's LC-37D33X is a fairly solid mid-range TV. Its 720p native resolution is fine for both HD and SD viewing, but the image does have some pixelation issues that may irritate some users.

Excellent screen and image quality, although the support period provided is too short.

It has all the right specifications, but an imperfect 100Hz mode and a lack of inputs for older devices stop the 42PFL903D being an easy choice.

The Samsung screen offers clear, crisp image output, an easy-to-use menu and wide range of input connections, but the default settings produce an oversaturated image.
