The Bottom Line	Although the Samsung HP-S4253's glossy black styling and numerous inputs work in its favor, its issues with picture quality lessen its value.		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 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.	With excellent picture quality marred by only a couple of flaws, the Panasonic TC-PG10 series sits near the head of the class of 2009.
