Panasonic TX-PX10 Series Plasma TV ( 25", 28", 29", 32", 42" ) (TVs)

You might scoff at a £700 set that doesn't boast Full HD, but don't write off this Panny yet – it could just surprise you

Get beyond the unglamorous resolution and the TX-P42X10B is nothing but fantastic value

Hot on the heals of its 50in cousin, the Panasonic Viera TX-P42X10 looks like a bit of a bargain.

As far as picture quality, design and features go, the TX-P42X10 is not Panasonic's finest hour. However, when it comes to value for money, this set, like the TX-P50X10, beggars belief. It may not be Full HD, and it may not offer the last word in...

Panasonic continues to fly the plasma flag with its latest 37in telly.

If you're a devoted film lover on a tight budget, the P37X10's stunning black level response is arguably enough in itself to make it irresistible value for money. Certainly it can help many film scenes look more natural and engaging than I've seen them...

If you're after a 50in plasma TV that won't break the bank, the Panasonic TX-P50X10 could be the one.

The colour issues noted with the P50X10's standard definition pictures stop me being able to give the P50X10 any higher than eight for picture quality, as was the case with the P37X10. But the P50X10's marginally superior HD efforts and, in particular,...

The Panasonic Viera TX-P50X10B isn't one for the committed videophile -- or audiophile, for that matter -- but it's a brilliant TV for people who want a large screen, without having to cough up £2,000. Picture quality is very good and the screen is...

Picture quality is good with Freeview and very good with hi-def content ; Simple to use ; Good price

Sound quality lets the set down

Conclusion There were times when we noticed that the Panasonic Viera TX-P50X10B's picture looked less detailed than 1080p sets we've tested. That said, most people simply won't be able to tell. Panasonic has produced a sturdy, well-priced TV that...

If you're looking for a great-value set that excels with Freeview and DVD, this could be ideal. But Blu-ray fans can buy better

Produces deep blacks ; decent Freeview tuner ; copes well with movement ; good speakers ; price

Struggles to show finer detail ; lacks image depth and realism of class-leading sets

Get beyond the unglamorous resolution and the TX-P42X10B is nothing but value

Great picture performance at the price ; pleasant enough design

Gives some detail and definition away to Full HD screens

The P50X10 sports a rather dour image, it has to be said. It's just a rather plasticky black rectangle, really. It also 'only' has three HDMIs rather than the four found on some of its rivals today.

Superb HD picture performer, excellent black level response, ridiculously good value, wide viewing angle

Some rogue colours, especially with standard def; a little judder; it's not full HD

Black levels: 0.05 cd/m² ANSI contrast: 2813:1 to 3814:1 Average gamma: 1.99 DeltaE on PC: 4.4 Relative energy consumption : 426 W/m² Homogeneity of whites: 5/5 Clouding: 5/5 Light leak onto dark greys at 45°: 0.05 cd/m² DeltaE at 45°:4.6 Multimedia...

Excellent contrast and very deep blacks ; Excellent input lag

No movement smoothing system ; Definition just 1024 x 768 pixels ; Electrical consumption

The P42X10 isn't a TV for anybody who wants a large display. If you're too close to the screen, then the lack of sharpness and detail is all too obvious. You need to sit a little way back to compensate for these problems.

The Panasonic TX-P37X10 is a 37-inch plasma television with a 1024 x 720 pixel resolution. It has three HDMI inputs, 24p True Cinema picture adjustment, 2,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast and 100Hz double scan.
