Plasma Panasonic Series G10 y G15 (2009)

Well done to Panasonic for the TX-P42G10. Here we have a Plasma display with contrast performance previously reserved only for the high end, made available in smaller screen sizes, and for an amount of money that, recession or not, is a steal. Granted, value for money is one of the few parts of our tests that's somewhat subjective rather than based on data, but I feel that having newly developed technology (or more properly, refinements to technology), with this level of quality, at a price just over the three digit mark, is exemplary.

Let's not forget the excellent Greyscale accuracy (once calibrated, that is!), the convenience of having both analogue, digital and digital HD satellite tuners in one device, and the fast response for gaming. Even the sound from the TV's own built in speakers isn't too bad - I found it to be totally serviceable for TV programmes and older games.

The only limitations of this display are ones that can either be side-stepped by adding a high quality video processor (whether that's in the form of an upconverting DVD player, a dedicated processor device, or an AV receiver with processing built in), or ones that I can happily tolerate given its other strengths and price. Highly recommended.

Pros:

Fantastic contrast and black level performance
Extensive connectivity options (Digital Terrestrial, Digital Satellite, Analogue Terrestrial, HDMI...)
Excellent greyscale accuracy once calibrated
Imperfect, but still very good colour performance
Sublime detail thanks to 1:1 1080p input
24p input is handled correctly, judder-free
Portrays Digital TV broadcasts in an unusually favourable light!
Video gaming is incredibly responsive
Incredible value for money

Cons:

No Colour Management System for perfecting colour performance
Standard-def video deinterlacing and scaling are lacking
