"Far more natural colour balance than Panasonic and vastly better than Pioneer"
What I like:
Smooth non-jaggy video processing, excellent HD capability
What I don't like:
The remote
Review:
The reviewer needs to get some glasses! But seriously. The colours are probably the most natural of any current plasma, assuming it has been set up correctly. Also no mention of just how much better than other screens this unit handles Sky HD and other HD feeds either via component or HDMI, side by side with a Pioneer 436RXE/SXE - the difference in quality of the image is laughable both in colour accuracy and video processing, the Fujitsu has the others well and truly licked. The Pioneer looks a nice screen (its component input is woeful though) but the PQ is not anywhere near the Fujitsu, which is surprising given that everyone raves about the Pioneer being the best (marketing maybe!). I genuinely wonder if the reviewer has actually seen the screen and compared it side by side with other similar priced offerings from other manufacturers... At least I put them all side by side when I did my testing and asked around 50 other people what they thought, all gave the Fujitsu P42HTA51ES overall first place.

An always good and occasionally outstanding performer, but it's far too expensive
Philips Cinema 21:9 (56PFL9954H/12)
Great piece of kit, but its price tag will make it unobtainable for most

Interesting attempt at creating an innovative TV, but some of its promised functionality is yet to be realised
