| Bottom line | The Samsung UNES6500 is a well-featured midrange television with good color but otherwise ho-hum picture quality and value. | The Panasonic TC-PS60 plasma TV's low price, high-end picture quality, and bare-bones Smarts make it one of the best values we've ever seen. | 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. | 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. |
