Panasonic's TH-42PX80U 42-inch plasma sets the picture-quality-to-value standard for entry-level flat-panel HDTVs.

LG 50PG20 Review

The good: Relatively inexpensive; accurate color temperature after calibration; numerous picture controls including color management system; sleek, attractive styling with hidden speakers; plenty of connectivity with three HDMI and one PC input.

The bad: Reproduces a lighter shade of black; less accurate primary colors and color decoding; softer images with PC sources.

The bottom line: Although no slouch especially considering its price, the LG 50PG20 plasma HDTV's picture isn't quite up to that of the best entry-level competition.
