Samsung PS42Q7HD review

Samsung's 42Q7HD is a plasma TV that is both attractively designed and extensively equipped with HD compatibility, integrated Freeview and advanced picture-processing systems. It has limited connectivity and a couple of minor performance issues, but for its price these are easy to ignore Read more

LG 42PC1D review

Just over a grand for a 42-inch plasma? Bargain -- especially when it's stuffed full of high-class features like dual HDMI inputs, 10,000:1 contrast, reflection-reducing Clear Filter screen and picture-processing XD Engine. It outperforms some costlier rivals on picture quality, particularly with high-definition images Read more

Fujitsu P42HTA51 review

Fujitsu's P42HTA51 is a new 42-inch plasma that's arguably the brand's most home-focused model yet. It comes complete with a built-in TV tuner and actual European Scart sockets. Even better, at under £2,000 this new set carries the sort of price tag a domestic rather than corporate consumer might be expected to swallow Read more

Pioneer PDP 436SXE review

The Pioneer 436SXE is the company's first screen to integrate all features within a single unit. The beautifully constructed design features a future-proof specification, including integrated Freeview and high-definition compatibility, and the TV's performance is outstanding Read more

NEC PlasmaSync 42XR4 review

The NEC PlasmaSync 42XR4 is the company's best plasma screen to date, improving on picture quality in all departments over its predecessors. It lacks Scart sockets or any sort of built-in tuner but is a strong contender as a dedicated movie or sporting screen Read more

Panasonic Viera TH42PX60 review

The Viera range has kept on improving over the past couple of years, and this is the high point so far. An excellent marriage of design and performance, sporting two HDMI inputs and a 42-inch screen, this plasma is one of the very best -- if not one of the cheapest -- money can buy Read more

Panasonic Viera TH37PV500 review

This Viera may well be expensive, but you're buying a TV that's been crafted with loving care. The image quality is startlingly good -- anyone who had written plasma off should be pleasantly surprised by the colour and contrast depth of this brand-new panel Read more

LG 42PX5D review

A 42-inch plasma-screen TV equipped with a high-resolution panel and digital connectivity capable of displaying high-definition content, the LG 42PX5D is less expensive than most of its rivals, although this leads to a few compromises with usability and picture quality Read more

Fujitsu P42HTS40 review

The P42HTS40's separate media box means it can handle masses of connectivity and in this respect, it's a benchmark plasma, despite Fujitsu leaving a nasty taste in the mouth by omitting speakers and not having an internal digital TV tuner Read more

NEC 42XR3 review

The 42XR3 is the smaller brother of one of our favourite plasmas, the 61XR3. The 42XR3 is still more expensive than most at this size, but the performance will win over anyone who has picture quality high on their list of priorities. There's no Freeview tuner or RGB Scart input though, so you'll have to wait for HD content to make the most of it Read more
