Plasma televisions are a big component of the home television market, competing heavily with LCD TVs and projection screens. Each type has its own pros and cons, but those who have pretty much set their hearts on buying plasma televisions face numerous choices out in the market. The question is, which one to buy? Top 10 plasma TV lists compiled on various websites can help a consumer make an informed choice.

Looking at such lists, one thing is immediately obvious: almost everybody –whether an industry analyst or a consumer – recommends Panasonic plasma TVs. Panasonic, a brand under Japan’s Matsushita company, sure is doing something right. How else to explain its consistent market leadership? Other plasma television brands competing with Panasonic for a share of this segment of the home theater market are Pioneer, Samsung, Hitachi, Vizio, and Sharp.

The lists differ in the categories under which plasma TVs are classified. Some of them base their ratings on the number of units sold, some list the top plasma screens according to price, some are based on features and extras that come with the units. These lists provide helpful and useful information to help the consumer narrow down his or her search but in the end it’s still up to the individual to personally see if they’d consider a certain plasma TV model or brand to be indeed among the best there is.
