| The Bottom Line | The Pioneer PDP-5080HD produces the deepest shade of black--and thus one of the best pictures--we've ever tested. | With the accuracy of its THX mode and great black-level performance, the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is one of the best-performing HDTVs available. | The Pioneer Elite PRO-111FD represents the pinnacle of flat-panel HDTV picture quality. | Best-in-class black levels and excellent all-around performance places the Pioneer PDP-5020FD near the top of the picture quality heap, but it will cost you. | Panasonic's TH-42PX80U 42-inch plasma sets the picture quality-to-value standard for entry-level plasma TVs. | Basic specs |
