Plasma vs. LCD: Which is right for you?

Which type of flat panel display, plasma or LCD, is right for you? And which will give you more bang for your buck?

CNET Australia has turned five years old, and so we look at some of the big events and technologies in this time, and what's on the horizon.

Samsung UA40B7100

The Samsung UA40B7100 is the most "entertaining" television yet, and further evidence that the way forward for LCD televisions is in LED-backlighting.
Marantz SR6003

Marantz is back in the game with its SR6003 receiver &mdash it features up-to-date audio decoding, superb sound and drop-dead gorgeous looks.
Sanyo PLV-Z3000

Sanyo's affordable 1080p front projector has its share of flaws, but still represents respectable value in its category.
Pioneer BDP-LX71

The Pioneer LX71 is a great Blu-ray player, despite a slow loading speed for interactive discs and the high price.
Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD800A

The Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD800A is a very capable telly and is ideally suited to wide rooms due to its excellent viewing angles.
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.
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.
Sony KDL46W3100

The Sony KDL-46W3100 is an excellent performer as far as colour, contrast and detail are concerned -- only some ghosting issues dampen our spirits.
