Home cinema systems: Are kits or components right for you?
Whether you want to buy a home theatre in a box or go the components route, you'll need to decide which way is best for you right from the start.
Panasonic Viera TH-P50V10A
The Panasonic Viera TH-P50V10A is a 50-inch plasma that features great pictures but only so-so sound. There are better value models in the Viera range.

Sharp LC42D77X
The Sharp LC42D77X is a great TV let down by poor sound. But if you have a sound system already then the set's belting image quality makes it worth considering.
-
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.
-
LG 50PG79ED
The LG 50PG79ED offers an excellent picture for the price and adds a useful, though at times idiosyncratic, digital recorder with 160GB of space.
-
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 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.
-
Panasonic TH-42PZ800A
If sport or movies are your aim then plasma is still the king, and the Panasonic TH-42PZ800A offers a great picture for a great price.
-
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.
-
Philips 42PFL9632D Ambilight TV
A 1080p model with mutiple-mode Ambilight and anti-judder features, the 42PFL9632D performs well in movie mode.
