Bottom line
Sony's EX640 series is one of the better deals from the company, with decent picture quality and features for the price.
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.
Very good picture quality and an extremely aggressive price make the Vizio M3D0KD one of the best LED TV values on the market.
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.
