Good: Great picture, low price, full of features, great looking
Bad: The sound isn't the best but still better than most TVs for the same price
Comment: I recently upgreaded my 37" LCD TV for this 42" Leviathan. It's big but will fit comfortably in any sized living room (mine is tiny). It's also amazingly cheap at only £800, and I have to say it's the best £800 I've ever spent. I love this TV! The picture's great, the sound's good, it looks gorgeous and it's packed with features like picture-in-picture, which I've always wanted. The remote is heavy and durable and the buttons are very responsive, although not ideally placed. The remote is also universal, which means you can operate any VCR from it.
If you've been waiting for an affordable plasma TV which looks great then I can highly recommend this one. Go on, treat yourself.

Good: Colour is very vivid, detail is good, menu is easy, looks very nice
Bad: Some slight picture distortion on quick frame changes in standard definition, remote is very plastic
Comment: I've had this about a week but haven't got Sky HD yet. If you are looking for 42" on a sub £1k budget I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this. You can get more if you can pay more, so I'd look elsewhere if you can afford over £1-1.5k.

Good: All of it
Bad: The programmable remote could use some user input, perhaps blue glow in the dark?
Comment: Buy it

Good: Stunning PC and HD images
Bad: Terrible SD performance
Comment: By all means this screen is very good for the price, and if you are using Windows MCE the PC images are better than i have seen on even Panasonic plasmas. But when you hook up your Sky+ box via the RGB scart, the picture is dire. The digital noise is just unbearable, when you watch football, you can't make out faces or features of the players. Get this screen if you are going to hook up an HD feed or buy a scaler but if you are going to watch standard def through it, avoid it like the plague.
