The Bottom Line	Although promising on paper, in the real world the Dell W5001C's problems handling darker material prevent it from outperforming most other 50-inch plasmas.	Despite a couple of flaws with darker images, this high-res plasma remains an outstanding bargain.	While the Dell W4201C is suitable for brightly lit environments, its image quality for home theater falls short of that of the best plasmas we've seen.
