| Bottom line | The Samsung E550 series LCD is a decent performer with excellent shadow detail and good colors but image softness hampers a hearty recommendation. | The midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever. | Although it's cheaper than Samsung's ultrathin edge-lit models, the EH6000 series's value proposition is hurt by mediocre picture quality. | The Toshiba 40E220U is a value-for-money television offering decent contrast and bright, vivid colors. | If you've been holding out for an
LED TV with picture quality that mostly lives up to its stunning design and cutting-edge features, the LM7600 series deserves a look. |
