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

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.

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.

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

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

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 LG 50PY3DF's many strengths and features, including good speakers and a reasonable price, may help it find it a place on the TV stands of some homes despite its middle-of-the-road performance.

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.
