| Review summary | Hitachi was once one of the leading lights of the budget plasma TV world. But while the P50T01U remains attractive enough on the price front, its performance is let down by one or two old-school problems that other manufacturers seem to have solved Read full review |
If you've got the money, don't think twice -- this TV is as good as it gets and you won't regret buying one for even a second. The only problem is that it'll cost you another fortune in Blu-ray discs and HD TV subscriptions 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 |

On paper this is a brilliant TV but in reality the poor Freeview picture quality spoils the whole package
Loewe Connect 32 Media Full-HD+ DR+
This is aimed at people who want a great TV that says something about them, so understandably it's not for everyone
