Bottom line
While not quite the best in its class, the Samsung PNE550 plasma still merits a look with its very good picture quality, sophisticated Smart TV platform, and attractive price.
Info unavailable
The midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever.
Info unavailable
The Samsung E450 series plasma may not be perfect, but you won't find another TV that performs this well for this low a price.
