And what’s more, this 50-inch TV has promising specifications to back up this visual style statement, with a ridiculously high claimed contrast ratio of 10000:1.

So far, so impressive. And the price is a steal for such a colossal HD-ready screen. But things take a dip when you cast your eyes over this plasma TV’s sockets.

A black mark goes into the margin when we note the single HDMI – not very helpful if you want to add an Xbox 360 as well as a Sky HD receiver. Here’s hoping that twin HDMIs will be seen as an industry standard in the near future.
