Here's our weekly roundup of the new products our reviewers liked best.
1. Pioneer PDP-5080HD
Editors' rating: 8.7
The good: This 50-inch plasma TV displays an exceedingly deep shade of black with excellent shadow detail; clean image with little noise; "smooth" video-processing mode removes most judder; excellent antireflective screen; sleek, minimalist styling; removable speaker; superb connectivity with four HDMI inputs and one PC input; CableCard compatible with TV Guide EPG.
The bad: Expensive; inaccurate primary color of green; no user-menu fine color temperature controls.
The bottom line: The Pioneer PDP-5080HD produces the deepest shade of black--and thus one of the best pictures--we've ever tested.
