Panasonic TH-42PX80B


Summary: Plasma technology is far from the dead duck some would like you to think it is. Samsung's 50in plasma is a cracker, especially in raw value terms. And this 42in Panasonic effort is even better.Clever technologyIt's hit and miss, however, on the connectivity side. For although it carries three 1080p/24fps-capable HDMIs, these aren't v1.3.

Pros: ; >Outstanding pictures> Good connectivity> Price
Cons: ; >HDMIs not v1.3> Colours could be more vibrant> Occasional orange tone to rich reds
