| The Bottom Line | This is a gorgeous HDTV with lots of features and a highly accurate picture. | While not quite as fetching as some, this set offers the best out-of-the-box performance we've seen yet from a rear-projection LCD. | Though it's a bit pricey, the 51SWX20B is an excellent performer that holds its own with the best in its category. | 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. | |
