Pioneer KURO PDP-6010FD 60-inch 1080p Plasma--World's Best HDTV

The incredible 2007 Pioneer KURO 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 are dropping as stocks are cleared to make room for the 2008 models. At their lower price points the PDP-5010FD and PDP-6010FD ranked not only as the best HDTV currently available, but a Best Buy as well. If you're looking for a top rated value priced 50" or 60" set, don't overlook the PDP-5010FD & PDP-6010FD.

Panasonic Viera TH-58PZ700U

Panasonic TH-58PZ700U 58-inch 1080p Plasma HDTV. Ranked as Best-of-the-Best by C|Net, the Panasonic TH-58PZ700U outperforms nearly all big screen HDTVs (other than the top rated Pioneer PDP-6010) offering excellent all-around picture quality. For big-screen lovers with the means to go flat, the Panasonic TH-58PZ700U should be near the top of the list.

The TH-58PZ700U delivers excellent picture quality in just about every regard including its deep blacks and extremely accurate colors. One reason analysts continue to predict the demise of rear-projection HDTVs is because larger flat-panels, such as the 58-inch Panasonic TH-58PZ700U, continue to fall in price. While still more expensive that some top rated rear projection models, the TH-58PZ700U outperforms them all and is worth the extra money if you can afford it.

Priced lower than the top pick Pioneer PDP-6010FD.
