| Bottom line | While it's got supermodel looks and pricing to match, the LG LM9600 is unfortunately only an amateur performer. | The midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever. | The Sony HX850 is a smart-looking Smart TV with sparkling picture quality, making it a front-runner for plasma-phobic videophiles. | Although it hits plenty of high points, the Samsung UNES8000
LED TV cannot ultimately justify its high price. | If you've been holding out for an
LED TV with picture quality that mostly lives up to its stunning design and cutting-edge features, the LM7600 series deserves a look. |
