NEC PlasmaSync 42XR4: clearer pictures
Comments:
Review Verdict: This is easily NEC's best plasma screen to date, improving on picture quality in all departments over its predecessors. Its lack of domesticity on the connection front and the high standards of some of its competition both count against it, however

NEC is one of the biggest plasma manufacturers around. But while its screens have successfully graced exhibition halls, boardrooms and other corporate occasions for some time now, they have never quite taken off with home cinema fans - perhaps because tha
Review Verdict: HD-ready and with often enjoyable images at a realistic price, the PX-42XR3G is a step in the right direction. But we still feel that NEC needs to put a bit more effort into making its screens into movie stars

NEC PlasmaSync 42XR4
Comments:
This 42-inch plasma screen doesn't get off to a flying start: a scan of the 42X4R's specifications reveals the lack of a built-in tuner. So we're dealing with a screen here, not a TV. This is a disadvantage that's expanded upon with the revelation that th
Review Verdict: The low price for this screen (£1,800) is offset by the additional cost of a tuner, stand and speakers. But if you have your own cinema system and Sky HD, it's a very appealing proposition. Shame about the lack of Scarts though..

NEC Plasmasync 42XR3 42 HDTV
Comments:
This is the panel for image geeks. In our side-by-side review of eight 42-inch plasma sets, NEC's PX-42XR3A placed second for overall picture quality (behind the Philips 42PF9966/37). But it blew away all competitors for HDTV display.
Review Verdict: Plus, the menus offer a high level of controllability. For instance, the PX-42XR3A is the only one of the eight TVs we reviewed to include a gamma control, which lets you adjust the rate at which brightness ramps up from dark to light and is helpful for r

NEC PlasmSync 42XR4 42in Plasma Screen
Comments:
When is an HD TV not an HD TV? When it has everything except a TV tuner inside it.
Review Verdict: Although there's nothing actually offensive about the 42XR4, its lack of domesticity and anything especially outstanding in its performance make it hard for us to find any particular reason ? beyond, perhaps, its extensive HD connections - to recommend it
