| Bottom line | Info unavailable | The midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever. | Although it's priced higher and performs worse than the best plasmas, the Sony XBR-HX950 is still one of the top-performing
LED TVs ever. | Although it hits plenty of high points, the Samsung UNES8000
LED TV cannot ultimately justify its high price. | Samsung's best-performing TV ever, the PNF8500 series pushes the plasma picture quality envelope, especially in bright rooms. |
