| Bottom line | 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. | The Sony HX850 is a smart-looking Smart TV with sparkling picture quality, making it a front-runner for plasma-phobic videophiles. | The midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever. | Info unavailable | Samsung's best-performing TV ever, the PNF8500 series pushes the plasma picture quality envelope, especially in bright rooms. |
