The Bottom Line Although it's cheaper than Samsung's ultrathin edge-lit models, the EH6000 series's value proposition is hurt by mediocre picture quality. The midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever. The Samsung UNES6500 is a well-featured midrange television with good color but otherwise ho-hum picture quality and value.
