The Bottom Line The Panasonic PT-61DLX76 didn't deliver the best picture quality we've seen among 1080p DLPs, but a solid features-to-price ratio helps increase its appeal. The long-lasting bulb of the 61-inch Panasonic PT-61LCZ70 rear-projection HDTV is a bright idea, but doesn't outweigh its picture-quality problems. The Panasonic TH-50PZ850U's color accuracy issues prevent it from topping the high-end plasma TV heap, but excellent picture quality and unique interactive features maintain its appeal. With deep black levels and generally excellent picture quality, the more eco-friendly Panasonic TC-PS1 series of plasma TVs strikes an appealing price/performance balance.
