Top Rated Samsung, Panasonic 2009 HDTVs

(June 5, 2009 HDTV-News.org) The HDTV market is holding well in spite of intense economic pressure. Samsung LCD HDTVs continue their reign as the most popular and best selling HDTVs, although the excellent Panasonic G10 Series plasma HDTVs hold their own. Sony continues to stuggle to grab market share from rival Samsung, but the well received—and pricey—52XBR9 is finding favor with some HDTV aficionados. We're partial to the Panasonic G10 plasmas, but don't knock anyone for their preference of the new generation Samsung LCDs. To be fair the gap between plasma and LCD is very narrow and we'd be thrilled to have any of these top-selling sets in our living room.

Here's our picks for the best-of-the-best in the current market:

Great Deal on Top Rated Panasonic G10 Series Plasma

Panasonic Viera TC-P42G10 42-inch 1080p Plasma HDTV

Top Rated 42-inch Plasma HDTV Awesome Price!

The Panasonic TC-P42G10 icon 1080p Plasma HDTV is the top choice. Don't overlook this value-priced set. Excellent picture quality on all program types: HD, SD and DVDs. The TC-P42G10's colors are very accurate, and contrast is excellent, giving images depth and dimension. Black levels very good, second to only the Pioneer KUROs (at a much lower price!). Very good reproduction of scenes with subtly shaded light-to-dark areas. Excellent high-definition film-mode operation effectively eliminates jagged edges on movie content. A special anti-glare coating minimizes the reflections that often plague plasma screens.

The excellent TC-P42G10 is a Best Buy as well, offered at a very competitive price. This top rated set is a fantastic value. Over 93% five star ratings at Amazon.com. The 46-inch and 50-inch G10s are equally impressive and are similarly value-priced.

Top Rated 50 Inch HDTV

Pioneer KURO PDP-5020FD 50-inch 1080p Plasma--World's Best HDTV

Pioneer KURO PDP-5020FD PDP-6020FD 1080p plasma top rated hdtv The incredible 2007 Pioneer KURO series (PDP-4280HD, PDP-5080HD, PDP-5010FD, and PDP-6010FD) received near unanimous rankings as the best HDTV available. The early reviews of the new 2008 Pioneer KURO series HDTVs are receiving similarly high praise, apparently living up to Pioneer's hype of "…5 times deeper blacks…" than their predecessors. The value priced 720p sets (PDP-4280HD and PDP-5080HD) sold out months ago, but the 1080p 50-inch PDP-5010FD and 60-inch PDP-6010FD are still available, and prices have dropped. At their lower price points the PDP-5010FD and PDP-6010FD ranked as Best Buys. If you're looking for a value priced top rated 50 or 60 inch set, don't overlook the Pioneer PDP-5010FD and PDP-6010FD. But if you want the World's Best HDTV the PDP-5020FD and PDP-6020FD are the way to go. Over 95% five star ratings at Amazon.com.

Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800U

C|Net says ..."The Pioneer PDP-5020FD is an absolutely fantastic HDTV with outstanding black levels, but ultimately we preferred the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U..." (read it here)

Panasonic TH-50PZ800UPanasonic TH-50PZ800U 50-inch 1080p Plasma HDTV. Ranked as Best-of-the-Best by C|Net, the 2008 Panasonic TH-50PZ800U comes mighty close to the vaunted blacks of the above KURO models. This set's THX mode adds significantly improved color and video processing performance. The THX certification is the big step-up feature between Panasonic's TH-PZ85U series and the TH-PZ800U models such as the TH-50PZ800U. The certification involves testing in a number of categories such as contrast ratio and color accuracy, according to THX, and the TH-50PZ800U has a special THX picture preset that, when engaged, causes the TV's picture to comply with the certification. Color accuracy is excellent. The image is perfectly uniform across the screen, and viewing angles are superb, with none of the drop-off in contrast or color accuracy typical of LCD. Overall, a fantastic set. The only set that comes close to matching the picture quality of the Pioneer KURO line. Over 90% five star ratings at Amazon.com. Priced below the top pick Pioneer PDP-5020FD.
