We like:
Excellent picture quality; good design
We don't like:
Not the most exciting TV we've seen; we'd like to see more than three HDMI sockets
CNET UK judgement:
If you want high-quality pictures, the Panasonic Viera TX-P42S10 won't disappoint. We really like everything about this TV -- Blu-ray movies look stunning, Freeview is handled well and the configuration options are simple but still cover the important areas. The only thing we don't like is what isn't on the TV -- media playback support for popular Internet formats would be a good addition, and we'd love to see Viera Cast on these mid-range screens
Full review:
It was always inevitable that flat-panel TV prices would tumble quite quickly. Of course, the current economic downturn has certainly encouraged manufacturers to keep their prices realistic and offer more. Panasonic is no exception, and the Viera TX-P42S10 is a great example of a well-made, well-designed, 42-inch, 1080p plasma TV that costs less than £1,000. You can expect to pay around £900 for the TX-P42S10, although some Web sites are offering it for £850. Continue Reading...

Beautiful styling, superlative performance and an endless feature set make for a truly premium experience
Sony Bravia Z5800 (KDL-40Z5800)
Sony's first freesat set is one of the best-performing TVs we've seen from the company so far
Toshiba Regza SV (46SV685DB)
It's a very good TV indeed, but we're not convinced the price is justified
Samsung B7020WW (UE55B7020WW)
Could have been one of the best TVs we've seen were it not for the serious backlight inconsistency
