| Review summary | A high-quality TV with the sort of black levels that we last saw on CRT TVs. It's not perfect but it does move home cinema screens up to a new level where they can offer something the LCD-based competition can't Read full review |
This TV is nothing short of stunning. DVD and Blu-ray look amazing, games will blow your mind and even Freeview looks passable, which is no mean feat on a screen this large. We're going to ignore the ludicrous price because if you simply must have the best, then money will be no object Read full review |
The price will restrict this to home cinema nuts, and that's a shame. Whether you're watching standard- or high-defintion material, or playing games, this is one of the very best screens on the market -- and it makes a truly stunning centrepiece for any home entertainment setup Read full review |
Televisions don't get much better than this. A winning combination of excellent picture quality, stylish design and user-friendly features, this 50-inch plasma should be at the top of any serious home cinema fan's shopping list. It's pricey, but it's worth it Read full review |

Philips Cineos 42PFL9703
A very impressive high-end TV with a superb picture, excellent sound and the added bonus of Ambilight
Sony VPL-VW40
Although there's room for improvement in the colour department, the VW40 is yet another impressive advert for SXRD
Samsung SP-A800B
There's enough quality to suggest that Samsung has the potential to make a truly great projector one day -- but not yet
Humax LGB-32DST
Although the 32DST lives down to its low price point in some ways, its picture performance isn't bad at all
