| Bottom line | 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 Toshiba 40E220U is a value-for-money television offering decent contrast and bright, vivid colors. |
