| 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. | |
