| The Bottom Line | While the AOC A42HD84 is one of the most-affordable 42-inch plasmas on the market, its sparse features and inaccurate color makes it less of a value. | It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested. | ||
