Plasma vs. LCD: Six things you need to know

You know you want a flat TV, but you may not know whether a plasma or an LCD is best for you. We examine what you should consider before buying.

It's not the prettiest PMP on the block, but the inclusion of digital TV support makes the MP32 a great little gadget.

Samsung UA32B6000

The Samsung UA32B6000 is a 32-inch LCD with LED-backlighting and four HDMI ports.
JVC Everio GZ-MS120

Two SD card slots allow for up to 64GB of storage, but otherwise the MS120 is a nice, albeit run-of-the-mill, flash-memory-based standard-def camcorder.
LG 42LH50YD

The LG 42LH50YD is a very capable television with a smattering of features, but don't buy it simply for the 200Hz mode.
LG 42PQ60D

The LG 42PQ60D is a budget plasma that also performs like one. While design and picture quality are mostly good, we'd spend a little bit more on a Panasonic instead.
TEAC LCDV3253HD

The TEAC LCDV3253HD offers a good deal of features and convenience, but doesn't really offer what we consider more important — performance.
Samsung INNOV8 (i8510)

The INNOV8 is loaded with features and sports massive storage. If you're in the market for a mobile phone that can do just about anything the INNOV8 should be on your shortlist.
Panasonic VIERA TX-32LXD80A

The Panasonic VIERA TX-32LXD80A is a strong performer for the price in terms of picture quality, but it's let down slightly by its lacklustre sound.
Sony Bravia KDL32V4000

The Sony Bravia KDL32V4000 offers excellent detail, colour and contrast but despite its 1080p resolution the set's high price and motion issues let it down.
