| Bottom line | The LG CS560 series is a relatively cheap LCD TV, but its poor image quality means that it cannot compete against other budget TVs. | The Panasonic TC-PS60 plasma TV's low price, high-end picture quality, and bare-bones Smarts make it one of the best values we've ever seen. | The Toshiba 40E220U is a value-for-money television offering decent contrast and bright, vivid colors. | 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. |
