| The Bottom Line | An awesome design and a full-fledged feature package make this higher-resolution plasma almost worth its high price. | Anchored by great connectivity, the Hitachi 42HDS69 competes well against other 42-inch plasmas in both price and picture quality. | With excellent picture quality marred by only a couple of flaws, the Panasonic TC-PG10 series sits near the head of the class of 2009. | ||
