The Bottom Line	While not quite the best in its class, the Samsung PNE550 plasma still merits a look with its very good picture quality, sophisticated Smart TV platform, and attractive price.	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 Samsung E6500 series is an excellent television that offers classy looks, outstanding picture quality, and a great price.	The LG PA6500 is a decent plasma television if you'll have nothing less than 1080p for cheap, but it's not the best value at this level.
