The Bottom Line Best-in-class black levels and excellent all-around performance places the Pioneer PDP-5020FD near the top of the picture quality heap, but it will cost you. 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. CNET did not review the Pioneer Kuro PDP-6020FD, but we did review a smaller model in the series. It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested.
