The Bottom Line Despite being unable to fulfill the expectations raised by its specification sheet, the Vizio E-Series remains a good choice if you value its Smarts and styling. The Panasonic TC-PS60 plasma TV's low price, high-end picture quality, and bare-bones Smarts make it one of the best values we've ever seen. The midlevel price and outstanding quality of the Panasonic TC-PST60 series make it our strongest TV recommendation ever.
