| Bottom line | The TCL L40FHDF12TA is a cheap television that provides a usable picture, but that's about it. | Entirely acceptable picture quality makes the TCL L40FHDP60 a dirt-cheap LCD TV done right. | The midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever. | The Vizio E2VLE series may appeal to budget shoppers who just want Smart TV, but subpar picture quality hurts its chances against the tough competition. | The Vizio E2VLE series may appeal to budget shoppers who just want Smart TV, but subpar picture quality hurts its chances against the tough competition. |
