Dell W4200HD

Solid image quality (both measured and perceived). Good on-screen display controls. Dual built-in tuners (NTSC and ATSC). Very competitive price

Needs some color/brightness/contrast adjustments out of the box, since default settings look a bit washed out

It's tough to beat this deal. The 42-inch Dell W4200 HD Plasma TV delivers very good image quality at a very competitive price.

The W4200HD's stellar industrial design is not matched with commensurate performance.

The plasma TV market is not much different than other consumer electronics fields-you generally get what you pay for. While these three budget sets can look pretty darn good, they also have shortcomings that nitpickers like me have a field day...

Price and many connection to television

Blacks/grays blur together making certain scenes hard to watch.

Good (not great) picture. Good looking in room.

Cannot be repaired.
