Samsung PS50B850
The Samsung PS50B850 is an attractively slim plasma TV that offers all the latest bells and whistles with good picture quality to boot.
Yamaha RX-V663
The Yamaha RX-V663 sounds great, but it's tough to recommend with its paltry HDMI connectivity, poor upconversion quality, and other design quirks.

Samsung PS50A650
Though the Samsung PS50A650 plasma is better than the Panasonic PZ850 feature-wise, it loses out slightly in terms of picture quality.

Panasonic Viera TX-37LZ800M
This flagship 2008 Panasonic Viera LCD TV delivers brilliant colours and soulful sounds, but is held back by a less than ideal PC resolution support and a broken anti-judder 24p function.
-
Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A
This flagship Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A is just as good as or even better than the Pioneer LX Kuro in many areas and at a far more reasonable asking price, too.

InFocus Play Big IN83
The InFocus IN83 works beautifully out of the box, delivering smooth, rich pictures. That said, it fails to sizzle, plagued by a mild black crush despite a new DarkChip4 engine.
-
Pioneer PDP-LX508A
The Pioneer Kuro PDP-LX508A is the undisputable class leader in black level and colour vibrancy. However, these attributes don't quite warrant the premium pricing.
-
Epson EMP-TW1000
It may lack luxury functions, extended connectivity and the inky blacks of pricier models, but this is well offset by beautiful HD pictures, extended lens shift and ultra-short throw capabilities.
-
Philips 37PF9731/69 LCD TV

-
BenQ VA371
The BenQ VA371 serves well as a CRT TV replacement, though its DVD playback could have been better.
