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 Hitachi 50PD960DTA is a mid-range unit with excellent high definition performance, reasonable standard definition performance and poor performance when connected to a PC.

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 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.

The 42PD960DTA is a good all round mid-range television but has its problems across all modes and is far from brilliant.

While the PDP-427XDA performs well in High Definition, the issues with SD and PC signals are a factor especially considering the price point.

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

The 42 inch NEC PX-42XR4W is a feature-packed plasma television with excellent customisation controls let down by mediocre image quality.

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

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

While Fujitsu P63XHA51 is massive and performs well in high definition, the standard definition and PC modes could have been better.

The Sanyo PDP-42XS1 is not the best plasma on the market and considering the fact that it is standard definition and has image flaws, it is not our first choice.
