| The Bottom Line | It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested. | The Philips PFL6704D series falls short of the competition's performance, but it does have a cool design and relatively accurate color. | With excellent picture quality marred by only a couple of flaws, the Panasonic TC-PG10 series sits near the head of the class of 2009. | ||
