Typical price: £1,100
What is it: HD Ready plasma TV with 42-inch screen and integrated digital tuner
What we think: Not one of the top plasmas available, but certainly one of the best for this price
What you need to know

Tags: lg electronics, silver, sky, dvd player
We like:
Clear Filter reflection-reducing screen; two HDMI sockets
We don't like:
Image not quite as refined as the top plasma screens; no side S-Video socket for easy camcorder connection
You might also need:
Sky or Telewest high-definition TV service
CNET UK judgement:
If you shop around and find the 42PC1D at its lowest price point, it becomes a cast-iron bargain. The sound is middling, but the picture is excellent for such a low cost TV and the design and styling are definite strong points. The inclusion of two HDMI ports is the icing on the cake
