Product name	Panasonic Viera TH-42PV700H (42-inch plasma)	Sony Bravia KDL-46Z5500 (46-inch LCD)	LG 32LH20R (32-inch LCD)	LG 47SL90QD (47-inch LCD)
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8 Excellent	8.7 Spectacular	CNET Asia editor's take	8.2 Excellent
Review Summary	The Panasonic TH-42PV700H comes highly recommended for its solid picture and sound qualities, though there are very limited advanced settings to satisfy the deep-pocketed videophiles and enthusiasts.	The Sony Bravia KDL-46Z5500 may lack a Web content streaming element, but it's a solid all-rounder in just about every aspect, from design to performance.	More info	The LG 47SL90QD stands out with its 29.3mm-slim bezel and onboard Bluetooth function, but there's still room for improvement in the picture and audio departments.
