The Bottom Line Although its price puts it out of reach for most buyers, the Pioneer PRO-FHD1 delivers superb picture quality and color accuracy. The Pioneer Elite PRO-111FD represents the pinnacle of flat-panel HDTV picture quality. The Pioneer PDP-5080HD produces the deepest shade of black--and thus one of the best pictures--we've ever 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. It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested.
