| The Bottom Line | The DU-42LZ30 is a solid performer compared to other flat LCDs, but the best 42-inch plasmas still do a superior job with home theater and cost less. | Deep black levels and accurate color help propel the LED-backlit LG LH90 series into the front row of the LCD picture quality class. | While the picture quality of the LG LH50 series won't appeal to videophiles, its Netflix streaming and oodles of other interactive features will win over plenty of folks fed up with external boxes. | It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested. | While its black levels and uniformity mark the LG LH30 series as an entry-level display, its extensive picture controls allow the color accuracy of a flagship model. |
