| The Bottom Line | In its MX-42X3, Maxent has assembled a bargain 42-inch plasma that performs quite well compared to the higher-priced competition. | Although it has enough features for most folks, the less-expensive Maxent MX-5020HPM can't keep up with the picture quality of the competition. | If you're looking to save cash and don't mind a TV that doesn't perform that well in the dark, this flat-panel LCD is a solid value. | ||
