The Bottom Line With commendable image quality and plenty of connections, the relatively inexpensive V Vizio P50HDM 50-inch plasma is the best value in its class. With commendable image quality and plenty of connections, the relatively inexpensive Vizio P50HDTV 50-inch plasma is the best value in its class. For many less critical viewers, the Vizio VP50HDTV's bargain pricing will be worth the trade-off in picture quality. Samsung's PNB650 series can't quite match the best plasmas on the market, but it comes close enough to offer a viable alternative. The high-end Panasonic TC-PV10 series of plasmas delivers the overall best picture quality of any flat-panel HDTV we've tested so far this year.
