The Good
Fantastic picture quality
Amazing value for money
3D Capable
Smart TV
Built-in Wi-Fi
Completely future proof
 
The Bad
3D glasses not included
Slight glare in very bright rooms
This is one of the highest rated 60 inch TVs of 2012 and it is crazy how much value for money it offers. It comes with all the latest features, such as 3D capability, built-in WiFi and Smart TV, and it is only $1250. Most TVs at this price point do not offer any of these features.Whilst it offers a lot of features, it also has the quality to back it up too. The picture quality is as impressive as models twice the price, LG’s Smart TV has tonnes of services and apps, and the 3D quality is impressive too, though it doesn’t come with any 3D glasses.Read our full review of LG 60PM6700 Plasma 60-Inch TV

An Incredible 60 Inch HDTV With Everything You Would Want Plus More. This Samsung LED TV is equipped with dual core processor. Voice Control or Dual View with Samsung phone or tablet, just a few to name from the number of great features.

The Samsung UN60ES8000 is a fantastic television, that offers all the latest features that you would expect from a high end HDTV. It has 3D functionality, built-in WiFi and plenty of online features. In terms of picture quality, it is hard to separate it from any other 60 inch TV currently on the market, it is that good. Very unique and stunning design – this large flat TV comes with a silver bezel around the screen and the stand is two thick flat legs.Read our full review of Samsung UN60ES8000 LED 60-Inch TV

LG 60PA6500 60-Inch TV (Full HD 1080p Flat 600Hz Plasma)

Gorgeous Picture. The contrast is superb. No motion blurring or anything of the sort. Thin Frame. Right Price. Friendly remote. Intuitive on-screen menu.

  RECOMMENDED
Fantastic Picture Quality, Incredibly Low Price – The Perfect Budget HD TV. Missing smart TV features and Wi-Fi connectivity. You won't miss it though if you have PS3 or other electronics with online features built in.

The Good
Very low price (around $1000)
Awesome picture quality
Incredibly thin (1 inch thick)
Good sound for a slim HD TV
HDMI/USB ports on the side not the back
 
The Bad
Not 3D ready
No Internet TV
LG’s 60PA6500 was one of the first 60 inch TVs from a major brand to be sold for around $1000, which is only good for US buyers. Unlike the LG model above, this does not come with any major extra features such as 3D functionality or Smart TV, it is very minimalist.The picture quality is as good as any 60 inch TV currently on the market, making this the perfect television for anyone who just wants to watch TV, without having to pay for extra features they’ll never use. The screen is also under 1 inch thick, yes you read that right, 1 inch thick!Read our full review of LG 60PA6500 Plasma 60-Inch TV

The Good
At around $1500 it is one of the best 60 inch TVs in terms of value for money
The picture quality is absolutely brilliant, from color accuracy to black levels to detail
It has 3D capability plus 2D to 3D conversion technology
It has lots of online features, including apps and services
 
The Bad
Picture quality in bright rooms is poor when compared to dark rooms
Both 3D glasses and Wi-Fi adapter are sold separately
Only has 2 HDMI inputs
If you used the Panasonic VIERA TC-P60UT50 and weren’t told the price, you would assume it was in the $2000 to $2500 range, however it is roughly $1500 depending on where you buy from. Considering the picture quality plus the extras like the 3D functionality and numerous the online features – this price is stunning. The TC-P60UT50 does not come Wi-Fi ready so you will need to buy a wireless adapter separately.Read our full review of Panasonic VIERA TC-P60UT50 Plasma 60-Inch TV

Panasonic VIERA TC-P60GT50 60-Inch TV (3D Full HD 1080p Flat 600Hz Plasma)

The Good
Awesome picture quality
Stunning black levels and colors
Fantastic 3D picture quality
THX Mode preset mode
Performs well in bright rooms
 
The Bad
Low sound quality
3D glasses not included
High power consumption
The VIERA TC-P60GT50 is part of Panasonic’s second best range of HD TVs for 2012, it has fantastic picture quality with deep black levels, stunning color accuracy, great screen uniformity and awesome off angle viewing. The actual design is very classy too, one of the best looking TVs I’ve seen from Panasonic. Since it is a plasma screen, it does have high power consumption but it doesn’t emit excessive amounts of heats which is an improvement of previous models. When compared to matte screens (plasma use glass screens) the performance in bright rooms isn’t as good.Read our full review of Panasonic VIERA TC-P60GT50 Plasma 60-Inch TV
