2. Panasonic TH-58PZ750U
Editors' rating: 8.0
The good: Produces a deep level of black; highly accurate initial color temperature; clean, sharp image; numerous picture controls; sleek design.
The bad: Relatively expensive; some color inaccuracies and minor false contouring; less effective glare-reducing screen.
The bottom line: Although we were impressed by the picture quality of the Panasonic TH-58PZ700U 58-inch plasma HDTV, we prefer the value proposition of its step-down sibling.
