The Samsung PS50Q7HD delivers high-end image quality at a reasonable price. This is a great unit for High Definition and does a good job for Standard Definition.

Despite a few minor problems, the Fujitsu Plasmavision P63XHA51AS performed beautifully in our HD and SD tests and even excelled when connected to a PC.

The LG 50PB2DR, with integrated DVR, is an excellent Plasma panel capable of producing incredible HD images, but it falters slightly in SD and PC performance.

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

The Panasonic TH-50PX70A is an excellent all-round high-end Plasma panel that performs well across standard and high definition resolutions.

An excellent high-definition panel, the Samsung PS-50P91FD is slightly let down by its performance in other areas.

LG's latest plasma, the 42in 42PG60, is a nice step up from its past units and is a well-rounded option for users looking to make the jump to HD.

Vizio's 50-inch P50 HDM plasma HDTV monitor doesn't require the same cash outlay as a full-fledged plasma HDTV. However, you might be able to find products at a similar price point that deliver better picture.

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.
