The Bottom Line		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.	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.	While it's got supermodel looks and pricing to match, the LG LM9600 is unfortunately only an amateur performer.
