Although it couldn't deliver the reference-level charts seen on the 2011 Samsung plasmas, the color of the E8000 looks great in person, too.

The Web browser is almost as good as the ones on Samsung and LG TVs as long as you use the touch-pad remote, but that's not saying much since no TV browser can hold a candle to any phone, tablet, or laptop browser.

Although it was very good, the screen of the Samsung plasma didn't perform quite as well overall as that of the ST50 in brighter rooms.

Like all Samsung 3D models, and unlike other major-brand TVs that use active 3D technology, the PNE8000 actually comes with 3D glasses: two pairs are packed into every box.

It's clearly Panasonic's best plasma ever, and creates some stiff competition for the OLEDs arriving later this year.

The picture is shockingly clear, colors are extremely accurate with the best black levels that I have ever seen.

The picture on this set is crystal clear, with blacks so deep you'll feel like you're being sucked in to them.

The picture is sharp and clear and the size is large but not at all overwhelming.
