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.

The BenQ Joybee GP1 is a small and impressive LED pico-projector, but you'll pay handsomely for the "wow" factor.

Sanyo PLC-XU355

Sanyo's PLC-XU355 3LCD projector is notable for the inclusion of wireless connectivity, but not much else.
Polk Audio SurroundBar 360 DVD Theatre

The Polk Audio SurroundBar 360 DVD Theatre delivers excellent sound from a single speaker bar, with the lack of built-in Blu-ray being the only real sticking point.
Toshiba Regza 42AV500A

The Toshiba Regza 42AV500A is a great mid-range unit with an attractive price point. It's not perfect but it will certainly please the budget consumer.
LG Scarlet 42LG61YD

The LG Scarlet 42LG61YD is an exceptional 1080p television with great design, features and a well implemented 100Hz mode. Considering the cost and the improvements over the previous Scarlet, this is definitely a good buy.
Sony Bravia KDL46W4000

The Sony Bravia 46W4000 offers exceptional image and sound quality at a reasonable price.
Onkyo TX-SR606

The Onkyo TX-SR606 offers tons of functionality for the price, but subpar video processing and improved competition means it's less of a standout receiver than last year's version.
LG 42PG60UD

The LG 42PG60UD is a large improvement on the LG plasma range and will no doubt suit anyone looking for a 720p television with style and quality.
Harman Kardon AVR 247

The Harman Kardon AVR 247 is an authoritative piece of equipment with a smattering of usable features. It's a challenger for best receiver in its price range.
