The Bottom Line Toshiba's L7200U LED TV comes loaded with features, but mediocre picture quality makes its high price tough to stomach. The midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever. The midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever. The Vizio E601i-A3 is the best value yet among big-screen LED TVs. Samsung's best-performing TV ever, the PNF8500 series pushes the plasma picture quality envelope, especially in bright rooms.
