9. Panasonic TH-50PH10UK
Editors' rating: 7.7
The good: Very good black-level performance and shadow detail; accurate color decoding; independent memory per input; versatile PIP function; extensive picture adjustments with full grayscale controls; removable, customizable inputs; spartan styling.
The bad: Inaccurate primary color of green; some false contouring; does not include a stand, a tuner or speakers; limited to only four total inputs and doesn't include a digital input out of the box; cannot change aspect ratios with HDTV sources.
The bottom line: While still offering excellent all-around picture quality, the "professional" Panasonic TH-50PH10UK plasma TV isn't quite as good a bargain as its "consumer" cousins.
