A 42in Plasma for under £700 must be a poor performer right? John thinks not...
With a fantastically low price, great looks, loads of connections and good picture quality, the Samsung PS42Q97HDX is a revolutionary product in the world of plasma TVs. Vibrant, crisp colours and rich sound will inject a real cinematic energy into your HD viewing experience
A gorgeous 42-inch plasma for a ridiculous price
Incredible value for money from Samsung's latest plasma
It’s got no 1080p, but Samsung’s PS50Q97HDX seems to have everything else: a massive screen, three HDMI sockets, technical virtuosity and a motorised stand - all for £1500
