The Bottom Line		The Pioneer Elite PRO-111FD represents the pinnacle of flat-panel HDTV picture quality.	The high-end Panasonic TC-PV10 series of plasmas delivers the overall best picture quality of any flat-panel HDTV we've tested so far this year.	It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested.	CNET did not review the Pioneer Elite Kuro PRO-151FD, but we did review a smaller model in the same series.
