EngadgetHD: CNET has dished out an updated version of the “top-rated HDTVs regardless of type, technology, brand, or size.”
Taking a respectable fourth is the Samsung LN-T4665F, which was praised for its excellent shadow detail and beautiful styling, while the Pioneer PDP-5070HD (the PDP-507XD in Europe) managed to squeeze into third thanks to its accurate color decoding and impressive array of inputs.
The first loser (or runner-up, depending on perspective) was the Mitsubishi WD-65831, which was dubbed “as good as it gets” in the 65-inch range for those not savvy with high-end plasma pricetags.
Unsprisingly, Pioneer’s stunning PRO-FHD1 (the PDP-5000EX in Europe) took top honors due to its excellent detail with 1080-resolution material, deep blacks, and all around excellent picture quality.

So if you’ve been teetering on how to wisely spend €5,800 or so, the choice seems pretty clear at this stage.

Shame the roundup is slightly outdated… it doesn’t include the latest Pioneer eighth generation plasma TVs.
