| The Bottom Line | We have not reviewed the Pioneer PDP-4280HD, but we have reviewed the 50-inch version. We expect the two to deliver similar picture quality. Aside from screen size, the main difference between the two panels is that the 42-inch model does not have a detachable speaker; its speaker is fixed. | The Pioneer PDP-5080HD produces the deepest shade of black--and thus one of the best pictures--we've ever tested. | 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 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. | 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. |
