The Pioneer KURO PDP-508XDA is easily the best plasma television we have reviewed thus far. Even though it is a little more expensive than other 50in plasmas on the market, it is money well spent.

To put it simply, Pioneer's PDP-LX608A is the best plasma around right now. While you certainly pay a hefty price if you can afford it, this TV will handle both high- and standard-definition content perfectly.

The PDP-5000EX is the best display available on the market, though it comes at a price.

If you love plasma television, you need to own the PDP-506HD.

With a great price, superior picture quality and extensive feature set, the 55PD8800TA is easily the best plasma TV we have reviewed thus far.

One of the best plasma units we have seen - and good value too

One of the best options for consumers looking for a high quality image and large display size.

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

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.

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.

Another great plasma from Panasonic. The TH-42PZ800A produces a great picture with some of the best blacks we've seen; it only suffers from a few niggling issues.

The Fujitsu PlasmaVision P50XHA58EB is an excellent plasma panel capable of delivering superb high definition images, as well as convincing standard definition images.
