The Bottom Line	Dollar for dollar, this is the best-performing 50-inch plasma on the market, although you'll probably have to invest in additional inputs.	Samsung's PNB650 series can't quite match the best plasmas on the market, but it comes close enough to offer a viable alternative.	Sure, it has a few flaws, but nothing fatal prevents the local dimming, LED-backlit Vizio VF551XVT from exhibiting excellent LCD picture quality for the buck.	The high-end Panasonic TC-PV10 series of plasmas delivers the overall best picture quality of any flat-panel HDTV we've tested so far this year.	It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested.
