The Bottom Line	The LG 50PC5D suffers a few picture quality faults compared to the best 50-inch plasmas, but its aggressive price and solid black levels really increase its appeal.		CNET did not review the LG 42PC5D, but we did review the larger model in the series.	Samsung's PNB650 series can't quite match the best plasmas on the market, but it comes close enough to offer a viable alternative.	Deep black levels and accurate color help propel the LED-backlit LG LH90 series into the front row of the LCD picture quality class.
