The Bottom Line Serious issues with image burn-in spoil the Insignia NS-PDP42's appeal as an inexpensive plasma HDTV. The bargain Insignia NS-LCD32-09 32-inch LCD performs better than its basement price would indicate. Panasonic's TH-42PX80U 42-inch plasma sets the picture quality-to-value standard for entry-level flat-panel HDTVs. The extremely inexpensive 32-inch Vizio VP322 introduces a new size category for plasma, but its overall performance is no better, and often worse, than that of similar-size LCDs. With the accuracy of its THX mode and great black-level performance, the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is one of the best-performing HDTVs available.
