Reviews

Samsung PS50A650

Though the Samsung PS50A650 plasma is better than the Panasonic PZ850 feature-wise, it loses out slightly in terms of picture quality.
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.
Panasonic VIERA TH-50PX70A

The latest generation of plasma televisions has really impressed us, and the Panasonic VIERA TH-50PX70A is an excellent example of plasma's potential.
Hitachi 50PD960DTA

The current generation of LCD panels have been getting all the attention lately, but Hitachi is fighting back with the 50PD960DTA. Measuring in at a massive 50inches, this display is 1080P capable and looks great in any setting.
Humax PVR Smart

Humax's standard-definition PVR Smart has two digital tuners and a 160GB hard disk built in, allowing simultaneous recording of two stations and storage capacity for up to 100 hours of video.
Philips 32PF5520D/79 32-inch LCD television

Philips 32PF5520D is a decent performer with some notable pluses (such as its built-in digital tuner), but for a mid-range offering its price of AU$3699 puts it perilously close to the high-end models of players like LG and Sony.
