CNET Editors' Rating
stars - Excellent
The good: The Panasonic VT60
produces the best picture quality of any TV we've ever reviewed, equal
to or better than our in-house Pioneer Kuro reference; exceedingly deep
black levels and excellent shadow detail; well-saturated colors and
excellent skin tones; industry-leading sound quality; extensive features
including touch-pad remote, voice control, and onboard camera.
The bad: Extremely
expensive; forthcoming ZT60 might have even better picture quality;
worse bright-room picture than that of the Samsung F8500; somewhat
humdrum design; camera is limited, and facial recognition is a gimmick.
The bottom line: The Panasonic VT60 has one of the best pictures of any TV we've ever reviewed, but it's soon to face some tough competition.
