Top plasma TV sets according to CNET
December 31, 2007 5:12 am HomeSo you’re thinking of buying a high definition television set that will provide the best kind of picture quality possible, one where reds show up as red and not as red-orange or violet, where the images are so crisp, so clear and so finely-detailed that you can practically see Brad Pitt’s acne scars under his makeup. Then maybe you should consider getting a plasma HDTV. The question is, which are the top plasma TVs available today, and is it the right one for you?
Fortunately, there are helpful souls out there who can guide you to finding not just a good TV, but maybe even the best one. David Katzmaier over at http://reviews.cnet.com/4370-6485_7-168-103.html?tag=lnav recently released their list of the top plasma HDTV models in the market, evaluated on the basis of picture quality. And the cream of the crop turns out to be the Pioneer PDP-5080HD, garnering a rating of 8.7 out of 10.
Here are other plasma television models that made the list, along with their corresponding ratings:
Samsung FP-T5804 (8.0) Panasonic TH-42PZ700U (8.0) Samsung HP-T5064 (8.0) Panasonic TH-50PX77U (8.0) Panasonic TH-58PZ700U (8.0) Panasonic TH-50PH10UK (7.7) Panasonic TH-42PX77U (7.6) LG 50PC5D (6.9) Vizio VP42HDTV (6.9) Vizio VM60PHDTV (6.6)
Lists like this can help you narrow down your search for the best plasma TVs. But don’t just take the reviewer’s word at face value; you’ll still need to see and test plasma screens firsthand before making your final choice.
