The Bottom Line	While the Samsung HP-S5053's picture doesn't rank among the best of the 50-inch plasmas we've reviewed, its sweet style and scads of inputs help it compete.	The picture quality of the Samsung HP-T5064 places it among the top tier of 50-inch plasma HDTVs.	Panasonic's TH-42PX80U 42-inch plasma sets the picture quality-to-value standard for entry-level plasma TVs.	Accurate color helps set apart the excellent picture quality of the Samsung PN50A550 50-inch plasma TV.
