| 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. |
