Big-screen plasma home-theater bundle: $3,000 |

Outside of CRT--and possibly Sony's SXRD line--plasma is the king of HDTV picture quality. It's got a reputation for being pricey, but we put together an entire home theater--with plasma--for just a little more than $3,000. Two products filled the bill: The V Vizio P50HDM delivers an impressive picture on its whopping 50-inch screen by forgoing such extras as a built-in HD tuner or CableCard slot (which are superfluous for most cable or satellite viewers anyway). And with the $400 or so that we had left, we opted for the JVC TH-C6 all-in-one home-theater system, which includes a five-disc CD/DVD changer. Home-theater bundles for every budget:

| Review summary | With commendable image quality and plenty of connections, the relatively inexpensive V Vizio P50HDM 50-inch plasma is the best value in its class. |
