The Bottom Line	While blessed with a stylish, understated look and plenty of features, the LG 50PG30's picture quality falls a bit short of other 1080p plasma TVs.		Samsung's PNB650 series can't quite match the best plasmas on the market, but it comes close enough to offer a viable alternative.	Although no slouch especially considering its price, the LG 50PG20 plasma HDTV's picture isn't quite up to that of the best entry-level competition.	Although it requires more than a few picture quality trade-offs, the Panasonic TC-P50X1 delivers the best black-levels-to-dollars ratio of any HDTV we've tested.
