The Bottom Line Although it hits plenty of high points, the Samsung UNES8000 LED TV cannot ultimately justify its high price. The midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever. If you've been holding out for an LED TV with picture quality that mostly lives up to its stunning design and cutting-edge features, the LM7600 series deserves a look.
