  • Panasonic Viera TH-P42S10A

    For a budget plasma, the Panasonic Viera TH-P42S10A certainly doesn't perform like one and boasts a significant improvement on last year's models.

    Specs: Plasma , 42 inch, 100 Hz, 1920 x 1080 pixels

  • LG 50PS70FD

    The LG 50PS70FD with "Time Machine Link" is an even better deal than its more expensive sibling, and is just as capable as a television.

    Specs: Plasma , 50 inch, 1920 x 1080 pixels, 4

    The Panasonic Viera TH-P46G10A is the best plasma we've seen in the past 12 months, and is perhaps the best TV on the market.

  • 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.

    Specs: Plasma , 42 inch, 1024 x 768 pixels, 3

  • Panasonic Viera TH-P54Z1A

  • Pioneer PDP-LX609A
