The Panasonic VIERA TH-50PZ700A performed brilliantly with HD content and very well with SD and PC content. While the latter wasn't perfect, they were still usable, just not perfect. Anyone purchasing this unit will not be disappointed.

This is a great TV, but it does come at a high price. For purely high-definition playback, however, it's hard to beat.

A strong performer, the Sharp LC42D83X will impress with its great full high-definition picture and the design ensures it looks stunning even when powered down.

Panasonic's Viera TG-42PX8A is a stunning television and is definitely one of the best 720p units on the market right now. Its image quality is excellent and it performed well across a broad range of sources including HD, SD and PC.
