| The Bottom Line | The Samsung UNES6500 is a well-featured midrange television with good color but otherwise ho-hum picture quality and value. | The midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever. | Although it's cheaper than Samsung's ultrathin edge-lit models, the EH6000 series's value proposition is hurt by mediocre picture quality. | Although it hits plenty of high points, the Samsung UNES8000 LED TV cannot ultimately justify its high price. | Basic specs |
