| Bottom line | A low price, excellent picture quality, and bare-bones features make the Panasonic TC-PU50 series a superb entry-level plasma TV value. | The Vizio E601i-A3 is the best value yet among big-screen
LED TVs. | The Samsung E450 series plasma may not be perfect, but you won't find another TV that performs this well for this low a price. | Entirely acceptable picture quality makes the TCL L40FHDP60 a dirt-cheap LCD TV done right. |
