The Bottom Line	Although it's priced higher and performs worse than the best plasmas, the Sony XBR-HX950 is still one of the top-performing LED TVs ever.	For those who can afford it, the Panasonic TC-PZT60 comes closer than any TV yet to picture-quality perfection.	Although it's priced higher and performs worse than the best plasmas, the Sony XBR-HX950 is still one of the top-performing LED TVs ever.	Samsung's best-performing TV ever, the PNF8500 series pushes the plasma picture quality envelope, especially in bright rooms.	The midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever.
