The Bottom Line CNET previews the Panasonic TH-PX600U series, the company's 2006 flagship line of plasma HDTVs. Although it requires more than a few picture quality trade-offs, the Panasonic TC-P50X1 delivers the best black-levels-to-dollars ratio of any HDTV we've tested. With deep black levels and generally excellent picture quality, the more eco-friendly Panasonic TC-PS1 series of plasma TVs strikes an appealing price/performance balance. The Panasonic TH-42PX60U sets the standard for value among full-featured 42-inch plasmas.
