Bottom line
While the picture quality of the LG LK450 has its strengths, they're overcome by its grayish reproduction of black.
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 midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever.
For those who can afford it, the Panasonic TC-PZT60 comes closer than any TV yet to picture-quality perfection.
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.
