Conclusion
|
The VT50 takes Panasonic's top-end plasma into 2012 with style! Like its predecessors, it delivers near-perfect picture quality even if it isn't immune from the usual drawbacks of plasma technology (weight, power use). It's THE must-have TV for home cinema fans. |
The Panasonic Viera ST50 really has nothing to envy of the higher-end VT50. In fact, image quality is just as good in this model. We therefore don't see much point in shelling out for the pricier model, as the ST50 won't disappoint home cinema buffs. |
The Sharp LC-60LE636E is a good giant TV. It will be a big hit with most viewers, but real Home Cinema fans will probably prefer a plasma TV to avoid problems like clouding, an uneven performance across the whole surface of the screen and slightly disappointing viewing angles. |
