The Bottom Line The midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever. 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.
