Title: Panasonic Viera TH-37PX80B
Pros: Picture quality; ease of use; cost; design
Cons: Sub-standard sound quality
Verdict: If you want strong, deep black levels and a fantastically sharp picture, then this is the set for you. It's only let down by its poor quality sound, which is a real problem during movie viewing, so you'd owe it to yourself to buy a AV receiver, too
Summary: High-quality, low-cost plasmas are on the horizon, and the Panasonic Viera TH-37PX80B is clear sign of things to come. It's not an exaggeration to say we were blown away by the picture quality on this television, which gave us a startlingly sharp picture

Title: Pioneer PDP-428XD
